Comparison of subsequent event rates between patients treated for LR with vs without axillary surgery

Event	Total events (n=83)		Axillary procedure at time of LR (n=47)		No axillary procedure at time of LR (n=36)
	# events	5-year post-LR event rate (95% CI)	# events	5-year post-LR event rate (95% CI)	# events	5-year post-LR event rate (95% CIl)
Axillary failure	3	2.6% (0.5-8.2)	1*	0.0	2	5.9% (1.0-17.4)
Non-axillary recurrence	4	5.5% (1.8-12.6)	0	0.0	4	12.8% (3.9-27.2)
Distant metastasis	8	12.5% (5.7-22.1)	5	14.7% (5.1–29.1)	3	10.1% (2.4-24.1)
Death	6	3.9% (0.7-12.1)	2	4.3% (0.3–18.4)	4	3.8% (0.3-16.5)
