Abbreviations: BMI=body mass index; CI=confidence interval; HR=hazard ratio; OC=ovarian cancer; ref.=reference value.

a

There were a total of n=1394 in model 1 because 27 participants had missing information on tumour stage.

b

Adjusted for age at diagnosis (continuous), histology (serous, mucinous, endometrioid, clear cell, other), and stage (I, II, III, IV).

c

There were a total of n=833 in model 2 because 588 participants had missing information on residual disease after debulking surgery.

d

Adjusted for model 1 and residual disease (no residual disease, any residual disease).
