Backward Logistic Regression Model of CPM in the Year Following Testing

Variable^*	OR	95% CI
Genetic Test Result
Uninformative (vs. Positive)	0.23	0.08 to 0.66
Age at breast cancer diagnosis	0.94	0.88 to 1.00
Baseline cancer-specific distress	3.28	1.29 to 8.34

Abbreviations: CPM, contralateral prophylactic mastectomy; OR, odds ratio.

Final model χ²₃ = 29.66; p < .0001.

Variables removed from model: time since breast cancer diagnosis (χ²₁ = 1.21; p = 0.27), baseline general distress (χ²₁ = 0.44; p = 0.51).
