Table 3 shows the β coefficients and the significance of a multivariable linear regression analyzing the influence of several predictors to the intensity of complications following chemotherapy, duration of myelosupression, and duration of hospitalization. P values are for the comparison with 0 (the values obtained by the null hypothesis).

F3-150

Total dose of carboplatin.

F3-151

Maximal physical performance (in km/h) on treadmill test by admission.

F3-152

Number of reinfunded blood stem cells.

ρ Coded as training group = 0 and control group = 1.

F3-155

Loss of physical performance during hospitalization (expressed as percentage of the physical performance on admission).

F3-154

According to the WHO scale.
