CI, confidence interval; NPV, negative predictive value; OR, odds ratio; Ototox, ototoxicity; PPV, positive predictive value; Sens, sensitivity; Spec, specificity.

a

Adjusted for age, vincristine treatment, germ-cell tumor, and cranial irradiation.

b

Risk haplotype carriers are individuals that are heterozygous or homozygous for TPMT rs12201199 risk variant.
