Variables included: age, sex, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (0, 1, 2, and 3-4), BMI group, smoking status, type 2 diabetes, alcohol use history, previous steroids within 12 mo, alkaline phosphatase, calcium (low, normal, or high), bone-protective medication (4 groups including comorbidities as in supplemental Table 3), bone involvement (3 groups as per univariable analysis table), prephase steroid, and non-lymphoma fracture at baseline. Stepwise backward selection with a cutoff of 0.05 was used.

*

Bone-protective medication includes vitamin D, calcium, and/or bisphosphonates.

Predisposing history: known osteoporosis, osteopenia, RA, or prior fracture.

Multivariable using complete cases from the backward selection model.
