Abbreviations: EORTC QLQ-CIPN20, European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire: Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy 20-item; HR, hazard ratio.
Univariate model only include types of taxanes.
Multivariable models accounted for baseline characteristics, including patient age, ethnicity, body mass index, diabetes, history of peripheral neuropathy, treatment stage, and chemotherapy regimens.
Model further adjusted for treatment cycles and Ki-67.
