Abstract
To predict radiation-related enteric damage, 92 women were studied who had received identical radiation doses for cancer of the ovary from 1970-1977. A logistic model was used to predict the probability of complication as a function of number of laparotomies, hypertension and thin physique. The utility and limitations of such probability models are presented.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
