Notes: aWilcoxon rank sum (1df) comparing neoADJ vs. non-neoADJ (ADJ + noC) groups at baseline and last collections, and in the change between last and baseline samples. bNegative binomial mixed model tests in R: glmm.nb (count at gena ~ period*weight change2 + offset(log(totreads)), random = ~ 1|SubjectID), Period (final vs. baseline), t change2 (increase weight vs. decrease weight). Age (continuous), race (Hispanic or not Hispanic), and total number of reads were included in the models. cWilcoxon signed rank (1df) to test changes between last and baseline samples.
