Multivariable analysis of endocrine dysfunction

Outcome Covariate Odds Ratio (95% CI) or Parameter Estimate (95% CI) P
Hypothyroidism PRT vs XRT 0.13 (0.04–0.41) <.001
CSI dose 1.75 (1.04–2.94) .036
Growth hormone deficiency PRT vs XRT 0.81 (0.26–2.59) .728
Male vs female 3.80 (1.29–11.17) .015
Classic histology vs others 7.07 (1.66–30.19) .008
Age at diagnosis 0.83 (0.71–0.97) .018
Sex hormone deficiency PRT vs XRT 0.06 (0.01–0.55) .013
Male vs female 0.31 (0.06–1.63) .167
Endocrine replacement therapy PRT vs XRT 0.30 (0.09–0.99) .047
Male vs female 2.82 (0.94–8.42) .064
Classic histology vs others 4.42 (1.14–17.18) .032
Age at diagnosis 0.90 (0.78–1.04) .164
CSI dose 1.30 (0.92–1.84) .134
Height SDSa PRT vs XRT 0.89 (0.24–1.54) .008
Residual disease after surgery <1.5 cm2 vs none −0.77 (−1.81–0.28) .153

Seventy-seven observations were used in the model. Backward variable selection method with an alpha level of 0.2 was used for all models. Models were stratified by date of diagnosis. The following variables were removed from the model when not listed: age, date of diagnosis, gender, histology, location of RT boost, CSI dose, and residual disease after surgery.

aFor analysis of height SDS, 59 observations were used; values are parameter estimate (95% CI).
