Odds ratios and P values adjusted for age, race (black/white/other), sex, cancer stage/risk, date of initial enrollment, and planned treatment time according to the protocol (at or above v below the median), and stratified by treatment type (docetaxel v paclitaxel) and platinum treatment (yes/no).

The comparison is between patients with diabetes plus complications versus patients with no diabetes. Patients with diabetes without complications are excluded from this analysis.
