Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for a correct interpretation comparing screening mammograms with a self-reported biopsy history with screening mammograms without a self-reported biopsy history were computed from multivariable logistic regression models including age at mammogram (in 5-year intervals), months since last mammogram, breast density, availability of comparison film, mammography registry, and year of examination as covariates. Examinations not associated with a biopsy history (no biopsy) were the referent group and included 1 714 281 screens (7181 screens were associated with subsequent breast cancer). A total of 293 100 screening mammograms with a self-reported biopsy history were also included (1884 screens were associated with subsequent breast cancer). PPV1 = positive predictive value 1; PPV2 = positive predictive value 2.
Two-sided P values for overall association of biopsy history with mammography performance measure, calculated using likelihood ratio tests.
Odds of a positive screen (Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System [BI-RADS] = 0, 4, 5, or 3 with recommendation for additional evaluation) among screening mammograms from women with a subsequent cancer diagnosis (sensitivity), comparing screening mammograms from women with a biopsy history with screening mammograms from women without a biopsy history.
Odds of a negative screen (BI-RADS assessment = 1, 2, or 3 without recommendation for additional evaluation) among screening mammograms from women without a subsequent cancer diagnosis (specificity), comparing screening mammograms from women with a biopsy history with screening mammograms from women without a biopsy history.
Odds of a subsequent cancer among positive screening mammograms (BI-RADS = 0, 4, 5, or 3 with immediate work-up) (PPV1), comparing screening mammograms from women with a biopsy history with screening mammograms from women without a biopsy history.
Odds of a subsequent cancer among screening mammograms with a recommendation for biopsy (BI-RADS = 4 or 5) (PPV2), comparing screening mammograms from women with a biopsy history with screening mammograms from women without a biopsy history.
