EGFR and non-small cell lung carcinoma: Multivariate analysis showed that poor performance status (OR 5.550, 95%CI 2.290-13.450; p<0.001) and mutant EGFR (OR 3.050, 95%CI 1.608-5.787, p=0.001) were independent risk factors predicting the onset of SREs, while the usage of TKIs (OR 0.102, 95%CI 0.054-0.193, p<0.001) was a protective factor of SREs in NSCLC patients with bone metastasis.
