  • Note:—The values of the provided criteria are the cutoff thresholds for predicting the defined early response. The statistically significant values (P ≤.05) are set in boldface italics; the values approaching statistical significance (P = .06) are set in lightface italics. Values for BF are in mL/min/100 g; for BV, mL/100 mL; for MTT, seconds; and for PS, mL/min/100 g.
