Table 1.

Numbers of patients undergoing some form of mastectomy who were denied either IBR+AF/Implant, SSM+DIBR or any form of IBR as well as the reasons for denying IBR and the proportion of those denied IBR because of risk of PMRT, which they ultimately did not receive

Number denied IBR	Reasons for denying IBR	Proportion of those predicted to need PMRT who did not eventually receive PMRT
50/76 denied IBR+AF/Implant	40/50: predicted need for PMRT	25% (10/40)
	10/50: co-morbidity
31/76 denied SSM+DIBR	24/31: unsuitable for SSM
	7/31: co-morbidity
31/76 denied any form of IBR	24/31: predicted need for PMRT and unsuitable for SSM	21% (5/24)
	7/31: co-morbidity

IBR = immediate breast reconstruction; PMRT = postmastectomy radiotherapy; AF = autologous flap; SSM = skin sparing mastectomy; DIBR = delayed-immediate breast reconstruction
