RH indicates relative hazard; NA, not available.

See Table 1 for a summary of follow-up data by group.

*

Cut-points for dose of G-CSF and ANC values were defined by the group-specific medians.

RHs and 95% CIs estimated using Cox proportional hazards models.

P values for likelihood ratio tests (factors G-CSF at 6 mo; ANC at 6-18 mo; and ANC before treatment) or Wald tests (contrasting levels in factor G-CSF at 6 mo and ANC at 6-18 mo).

§

A model with log2 G-CSF dose was fitted; the RH per doubling is the RH corresponding to a 1-unit increase of G-CSF dose on the log2 scale or a doubling of a G-CSF dose on the absolute scale.

Models with log2 ANC values were fitted; the RH per halving is the RH corresponding to a 1-unit decrease of G-CSF dose on the log2 scale or a halving of G-CSF dose on the absolute scale.
