Fraction screened is from Table 1 of [5]. Incident breast cancer deaths are from Table 3 of [5]. Number eligible is person years from Table 3 of [5] divided by years in time period from Table 2 of [5]. Calculations assume k = 0 for sensitivity analysis. Above yields Q = 3.72, σ² = 0, and overall estimate of -9 with 95% confidence (-14, -4) per 100,000.
