Includes only the uses adjudicated to be primary or secondary prophylaxis.
Delay at the start of a cycle is the number of days between the last day of intravenous chemotherapy and the day that granulocyte colony–stimulating factor (g-csf) was started (start date of g-csf, minus end date of chemotherapy, minus 1). No delay—that is, a zero result—indicates that g-csf was begun the day after the last dose of intravenous chemotherapy.
Percentages are calculated based on the number of delays for each cancer type and regimen.
