Abbreviations: BEP = bleomycin, etoposide, and cisplatin; EP = etoposide and cisplatin; FRS = Framingham Risk Score; IU = International Units; LSMEANS = Least Square Means (adjusted means); MET = metabolic equivalent of task; Ref = reference.

a

Crude results are from univariate analysis; adjusted models are adjusted for cancer center and log-transformed age (continuous variable) using LSMEANS.

b

Both crude means and LSMEANS are calculated for log-transformed FRS and then exponentiated to original scale.

c

P-values are calculated from the General Linear Model.

d

Five patients did not state their race.

e

The 98 nonwhite participants include 7 Black/African American, 34 Asian, 1 Native Hawaiian Pacific Islander, 1 American Indian, 30 other, 15 who declined to answer (or unknown race), and 10 who designated more than one race.

f

Ten patients had other educational status or did not report it.

g

Includes 79 patients with high school or less and 175 patients with training after high school or some college.

h

Includes 351 patients who were college graduates and 172 patients who completed postgraduate training.

i

Nine patients did not report marital status.

j

Three patients had missing data on physical activity.

k

All pairwise differences were tested using the Tukey-Kramer post-hoc adjustment method. P-values reported in the table are for pairwise comparisons between each category and a specified reference category.
