Note. OR = odds ratio; CI = confidence interval.

aCases for which data on any study variable was missing were excluded from this analysis (n = 1127; see Methods).

b“Any adjuvant therapy” includes chemotherapy alone, hormonal therapy alone, or the 2 therapies together.

cOdds ratio (OR) estimates are based on a logistic regression model that includes age, marital status, health insurance status, race/ethnicity, and hospital type race/ethnicity (P = .01). ORs are considered significant if the 95% confidence interval (CI) does not include 1.0.
