Risk Factors Impacting Survival
β | S.E. | z | P | |
---|---|---|---|---|
(Intercept) | 3.491 | 0.093 | 37.171 | <0.001 |
Dose | 0.001 | <0.001 | 9.593 | <0.001 |
Dexrazoxane | −0.019 | 0.034 | −0.545 | 0.586 |
Topoisomerase Inhibitor | −0.967 | 0.009 | −104.086 | <0.001 |
Antimetabolite | 0.234 | 0.035 | 6.599 | <0.001 |
Female (%) | −6.095 | 0.209 | −29.106 | <0.001 |
Cumulative dose of anthracyclines and simultaneous chemotherapy with antimetabolite agents significantly and positively increased survival rates. Use of topoisomerase inhibitors and female gender significantly decreased survival rates. Use of cardioprotectant agents (I.e. dexrazoxane) had no effect on overall survival rates.
