TABLE 3.
Simple and multiple logistic regression analysis of histologic characteristics associated with positive sentinel node and recurrence in patients with a nonmissing regression
| Positive sentinel node | Recurrence | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| OR (95% CI) | P value | OR (95% CI) | P value | |
| Without covariate adjustment | ||||
| Presence of regression | 0.59 (0.13‐2.00) | .44 | 0.33 (0.07‐1.01) | .082 |
| With covariate adjustment | ||||
| Presence of regression | 0.71 (0.14‐2.79) | .645 | 0.44 (0.1‐1.5) | .234 |
| Breslow >1 mm | 2.62 (0.79‐9.72) | .126 | 2.17 (0.84‐5.55) | .106 |
| Mitoses >2 | 2.00 (0.73‐5.73) | .182 | 2.71 (1.11‐6.75) | .03 |
| Nodular melanoma | 0.63 (0.29‐1.89) | .42 | 1.89 (0.74‐4.89) | .187 |
| Age at Dx | 0.97 (0.95‐0.99) | .036 | 1.00 (0.97‐1.02) | .661 |
| Ulceration | 0.74 (0.21‐2.37) | .625 | 0.82 (0.3‐2.16) | .688 |
Note: N = 115 (n = 113 for multiple regression) for the positive sentinel node model. N = 182 (n = 180) for the recurrence model.
