Association of TNBC with clinicopathological characteristics.

A, Unadjusted measures of association of TNBC with high tumor grade, LVI, LN status and pCR.

Characteristics	OR	95% CI	P-value
High grade	8.89	3.12–28.55	<0.001^a
LVI	0.43	0.06–0.73	0.006^a
LN status	1.16	0.49–2.78	0.70
pCR	2.77	0.48–15.72	0.15

B, Adjusted ORs from a multivariate logistic regression analysis with TNBC as the dependent variable.

Characteristics	OR	95% CI	P-value

High grade	6.30	2.15–18.41	<0.001^a
LVI	0.28	0.08–0.92	0.036^a
LN status^b	1.53	0.49–4.76	0.46
pCR	2.38	0.24–24.14	0.46

Denotes statistical significance (P<0.05).

Presence of axillary lymph node metastasis.

TNBC, triple-negative breast cancer; LVI, lymphovascular invasion; LN, lymph node; pCR, pathological complete response; OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval.
