Odds ratios (OR), 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) and p-values based on multivariate logistic regression including all predictors simultaneously.

n=5025 Survivors visited MD in last 2 years but logistic regression analyses are restricted to those who had information available for each type of screening, i.e. n=2511 female Survivors for mammogram, n=4532 and n=4647 Survivors for echocardiogram and bone density test, respectively.
