*

Covariates only: age, education, time on hormonal therapy, fatigue, anxiety, depression, and type of hormonal therapy

Incremental effect size (R2) for the particular cognitive function measure with a sample size of 31 at a significance level of 0.05, based on the changes in R2 with the addition of the PAOF score of interest where the covariates were controlled
