aHazard ratios are adjusted for attained age, age at start of follow-up, parity, region of residence and calendar period.

bThose with an index cancer diagnosed within the first year of follow-up were omitted from this analysis.

*Hazard rates which were statistically significant between ART and non-ART women, lost statistical significance once corrections were made for multiple analyses, using the Benjamini-Hochberg method.
