See supplemental Table 3 “Criteria for Defining Late Effects” for detailed information about the definitions for positive screening for specific late effects.
Attributable fraction indicates the percentage of cases in the cohort that are related to the specific treatment exposure, where Ae% = ×100%.
Ae%=Attributable fraction, Re=absolute risk in exposed, Ro==absolute risk in unexposed.
Negative values indicate that the risk for that chronic condition was less in the group that received the treatment exposure than in the group that did not receive the treatment exposure.
Results presented for evaluation of hypogonadotropic hypogonadism and primary ovarian failure exclude 50 women with bilateral oophorectomy.
Results presented for evaluation of Leydig cell failure exclude 1 man with bilateral orchiectomy.
Results presented for evaluation of central and primary hypothyroidism exclude 39 patients with prior thyroidectomy.
Table summarizes prevalence of chronic health conditions detected by comprehensive screening with the core battery of evaluations administered to all study participants.
