The steroid dose differences between ABVD × 2–4 versus ABVD × 6, ABVD × 6 versus EB × 2 + ABVD × 4 and EB × 2 + ABVD × 4 versus EB × 4–6 protocols were highly significant ( p = 0.000) ( Table 2 ). 3.2.
The steroid dose differences between ABVD × 2–4 versus ABVD × 6, ABVD × 6 versus EB × 2 + ABVD × 4 and EB × 2 + ABVD × 4 versus EB × 4–6 protocols were highly significant ( p = 0.000) ( Table 2 ). 3.2.
However, due a decrease in the cohort size at 6 months, the difference between the cohorts did not reach statistical significance ( p = 0.082).
The difference in BMD values and >15% change measurements between males and females younger than 45 years was borderline significant ( Table 4 and Table S1 ).
