The proportions of patients who, at least once during follow-up (that is, while on oxaliplatin treatment), reported a “little” or “somewhat,” or “quite a bit” or “very much,” were combined. Data for patients who reported “not at all” are not shown. Question H12, “I feel weak all over,” was excluded from the questionnaire.
