Table 2.
Statistics of each spatial cluster. Values include toxicity and 5 features used for generating the spatial clusters. Cluster labels were tested for correlation using Fisher’s exact test. Feeding tube alone and Aspiration were both significantly correlated with cluster labels (p < .001) as well as overall RAD (p < .0001).
