Abbreviations: CI, confidence interval; MCT, mast cell tumor; TT, tigilanol tiglate.
Adjusted for all other variables in table (ie, all three variables were simultaneously fitted in the same model; n = 95 dogs; tumor volumes were first transformed to tumor volumes−2).
Bolded P values are overall likelihood ratio test P values for the variables; unbolded P values are Wald P values for assessing the respective category relative to the reference category.
Estimated ratio of mean wound area for a 1 unit increase in tumor volume−2.
Likelihood‐based confidence interval (rather than Wald confidence intervals as elsewhere); lower limit could not be defined.
Adjusting for tumor volume and cytological grade.
