Co-administration of dexamethasone increases severity and accelerates onset day of neutropenia in bladder cancer patients on methotrexate, vinblastine, adriamycin and cisplatin chemotherapy: a retrospective cohort study

Table 3 Day of onset of first severe neutropenia in patients on the first course of MVAC chemotherapy

Neutropenia	Dex (−) (n = 3)	Dex 1 day (n = 11)	Dex multiday (n = 6)
Day of onset of severe neutropenia	17.7 ± 2.1	15.1 ± 2.1	13.2 ± 1.0
P value		0.113	0.008

Data are mean ± SD. P values are for day of onset of severe neutropenia with Dex (1 day or multiday) versus Dex (−), as determined by ANOVA with post hoc Tukey’s test
