Abbreviations: 95% CI = 95% confidence interval; CT = chemotherapy; RT = radiotherapy; AML= Acute myeloid leukemia.
Conditional logistic regression matched on gender, age at childhood cancer diagnosis and follow-up and adjusted for year of diagnosis.
The classes of whole active bone marrow radiation dose (Gy) were grouped as 0, >0-12 (highest quartile) and >12 Gy for the analysis in table 3.
P-value for interaction between chemotherapy and active bone marrow radiation dose was calculated using a likelihood ratio test under the multiplicative model.
