a

Adjusted for all variables in table.

b

Models include 19,035 patients.

c

Odds ratios for the “no surgery” treatment category are not presented as this group comprised a very small portion (n=313, 1.6%) of the study population.

d

Including mastectomy with radiation and mastectomy without radiation.
