Multivariate correlation analysis yielded no statistically significant results when comparing individual comorbidities to death (Figure 7 ) but showed a trend towards diabetes modestly decreasing survival (Pearson r=0.16; p=0.12).
Total comorbidity impact on survival Comparison between patients with a singular comorbidity (n=18) to those with two or more (n=77) showed a strong trend towards decreased survival (p=.16, Figure 9 ).
There was no statistically significant difference in overall survival based on ethnicity, healthcare status, or individual medical comorbidities, although a negative trend exists for diabetes.
