(Robinson et al., 1992).The following data were also collected: demographic factors, tumour stage (UICC), predisposing factors, treatment details, and local recurrence plus overall survival. Actuarial plots of survival and local recurrence-free rate, according to the above facors, were compared using log-rank analysis (Peto et al., 1977). Multivariate Cox regression analysis was carried out to determine the independent prognostic factors for survival and local recurrence (Cox, 1972). Death was not treated as an event when analysing local recurrence-free rate.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
