PT, patients; dx, diagnosis; BM, bone marrow; tx, treatment; HR-NB, high-risk neuroblastoma; MIBG, meta-iodobenzylguanidine; PBSC, peripheral blood stem cell; PD, progressive disease; NANT, New Approaches to Neuroblastoma Therapy. For multivariable analyses, only variables significant in univariate analyses at P ≤ 0.05 were included, then a backward selection procedure was used to eliminate variables not significant at P ≤ 0.05.

a

Test of trend including all Curie scores.

b

Test of trend in patients with Curie score ≥1.

c

These patients included in model as missing category.

d

These patients excluded from analyses.
