Figure 4 Adjusted Poisson regression analysis (adjusted for age, gender, ACE-27, smoking status, tumour site, TNM-stage, HPV-status and pre-treatment swallowing problems) of self-reported swallowing outcomes and secondary functional outcomes at 12-month follow-up of participants who were offered surgery (reference) and RT only grouped by HPV status. Answers to questions of the EORTC-QLQ-H&N35 questionnaire were dichotomized into no problems (‘not at all’ and ‘a little’) and problems (‘quite a bit’ and ‘very much’)).
