CI, confidence interval; HR, hazard ratio; PY, person-years;

#Incidence rate per 1,000 person-years;

Multivariable analysis including age, comorbidities of hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, benign breast tumor, menopausal and postmenopausal disorders and infertility, and medication of progesterone;

Patients with any comorbidity of hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, tobacco use disorders, alcohol-related diseases, benign breast tumor, menopausal and postmenopausal disorders, obesity, and infertility were classified as the comorbidity group;
