Neither recurrence of Hodgkin lymphoma nor the occurrence of a chronic cardiac condition was significant in models adjusted for treatment effects and was therefore not included in final model. Occurrence of NMSC was included as a time-dependent covariate. Exposure to anthracycline was expressed as a total score, based on the tertile of cumulative dose received; a score of 0 indicates no exposure to the agent.34 

SMN indicates second malignant neoplasm; HR, hazard ratio; CI, confidence interval; and NMSC, nonmelanoma skin cancer.
