Exploratory multivariable logistic regression analysis of factors associated with final surgery type among BRCA VUS carriers
| Variable | Adjusted OR (Exp[B]) | 95% CI | p value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Age at diagnosis (per year) | 1.09 | 1.01–1.17 | 0.027 |
| BRCA VUS gene | |||
| BRCA1 VUS vs. BRCA2 VUS | 0.40 | 0.10–1.61 | 0.198 |
| Molecular subtype (collapsed) | |||
| Non-luminal vs. luminal | 0.30 | 0.07–1.25 | 0.099 |
Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were obtained from an exploratory multivariable logistic regression analysis. The dependent variable was final surgery type, with bilateral mastectomy as the reference category. Age was entered as a continuous variable. Molecular subtype was collapsed into luminal versus non-luminal. Analyses were restricted to patients with BRCA VUS. Abbreviations OR odds ratio, CI confidence interval, VUS variants of uncertain significance. Bold values indicate statistically significant results (p < 0.05)
