n = 2,965 general care at baseline, 2,515 survivor-focused care at baseline; among them 348 became no care.
Age at diagnosis, years since diagnosis, gender, race, insurance, income, education, ever had a job, general health, anxiety due to cancer, physical limitation, cancer pain, emotional health, chronic disease status, RT status, alkylating agent score, and anthracycline dose are all candidates of the model. Backward selection resulted in a model containing only the variables shown in the table.
At baseline, the severity of chronic health conditions reported by participants was scored according to NCI Common Terminology Criteria of Adverse Events version 3.
Results from analyses were adjusted using IPW to account for potential bias due to nonparticipation.
