Univariate analyses of variables assessed for odds of declining enrollment

Variable Odds ratio (95 % confidence interval) P-value
Age (1-year increase)* 1.03 (1.00, 1.07) 0.03
Gender (female vs male)** 1.94 (1.06, 3.59) 0.03
Cancer (lung vs pancreas) 1.48 (0.73, 3.26) 0.29
Fatigue (one-unit increase) 1.00 (0.87, 1.14) 0.94
Pain (one-unit increase) 0.96 (0.84, 1.08) 0.49

*Older patients are 3 % more likely than younger patients to decline enrollment with each year of advancing age.

**Women have a 94 % increased likelihood of declining study participation than men.
