Table 5.

Clinicopathological and biological factors affecting OS and PFS rates of patients with medulloblastoma by univariate and multivariate analyses. Abbreviations: CI = confidence interval; D/N = desmoplastic/nodular; GTR = gross total resection; HR = hazard ratio; LC/A = large cell/anaplastic; OS = overall survival; PFS = progression‐free survival
