Body weight during long-term imatinib exposure.

Data represents mean ± standard deviation.
¥ ‘Weight gain rate’ was calculated by linear regression analysis estimating body weight at start and week 2, 4, and 10 of exposure as equidistant to ensure linearity of the regression. Therefore, reported ‘weight gain rate’ corresponds to mean weight gain per interval (start to week 2, week 2 to week 4, week 4 to week 10).
*** p<0.001 versus age-related controls.
