Age at diagnosis −0.099 0.032 0.91 (0.85–0.96) .002 −0.089 0.033 0.92 (0.86– 0.98) .007

Risk by amifostine interaction* 1.087 0.661 .10
 Amifostine vs no amifostine for average-risk disease 0.30 (0.14–0.64)
 Amifostine vs no amifostine for high-risk disease 0.89 (0.31–2.54)

*Since the multivariable model contains a risk by amifostine interaction term, the odds ratio for amifostine versus no amofostine needs to be calculated by risk level , and odds ratios associated with the main effects (ie, risk alone or amofostine alone) are not meaningful.
