DI indicates delayed intensification; direction, direction of association with clearance, ie, those receiving the 24-hour infusion had greater clearance than those receiving the 4-hour infusion; P, association of the factor with average methotrexate clearance based on a multivariate analysis; and R2, the amount of interindividual variation explained by each factor.
