Number of patients in total cohort or divided by aromatase inhibitor (AI) who discontinued therapy because of toxicity is given by genotype. Hazard ratios (HR) and corresponding p values are given for both aromatase inhibitors (AI) combined and for each AI individually. AIMSS: AI-associated musculoskeletal syndrome; CI: confidence interval.
