Data are n (%). MMS=multimodal screening. ICD=International Classification of Diseases. USS=ultrasound screening.

Includes in the MMS group, three screen-positive neoplasms of uncertain malignancy that have been recoded by outcomes review as non-epithelial ovarian cancer and one screen-positive borderline that has been recoded as invasive after the published incidence analysis; in the USS group, it includes five screen-positive neoplasms of uncertain malignancy that have been recoded by outcomes review as non-epithelial ovarian cancer and two additional screen-negative invasive epithelial ovarian cancers that were identified after the published prevalence analysis.

For the no screening group, this category applies during the screening phase.

Refers to more than 1 year after last potential screen in 2011 based on the anniversary of an individual's randomisation date.
