title: [A multiinstitutional prospective randomized study of radiation therapy of bone metastasis. II. Prognostic factors].
abstract: A prospective randomized study for the analysis of optimal schedule for the patients with bone metastases was performed. From February 1986 through January 1987, a total of 131 patients entered on this trial. The data from 129 patients out of 131 were available for the analysis of prognostic factors by Cox's regression model. As a whole, it was clear that first significant prognostic factor was urinary hydroxyproline/creatinine ratio (p = 0.0001), second primary site (p = 0.0001), third pain score (p = 0.0005) and fourth other organ metastasis except bone (p = 0.0006). In the group of lung cancer, first significant prognostic factor was urinary hydroxyproline/creatinine ratio (p = 0.0007), second multiplicity of bone metastasis (p = 0.0113), and third pain score (p = 0.0270).
