Figure 1. Adverse Outcomes by Surgery Type.

Figure 1

This figure presents the proportion of patients who developed the following complications by type of initial breast surgery: (1) rehospitalization within 30 days of initial mastectomy, (2) a diagnosis code indicating wound complications within 2 years of initial mastectomy, and (3) a diagnosis code indicating infection within 2 years of initial mastectomy. P-values for all three outcomes by type of initial surgery were statistically significant at P<0.001. Abbreviations: Mast (mastectomy), Implant (implant-based reconstruction).
