Models comparing breast cancer surgical outcomes in subjects who had pre-operative MRI versus those who did not have MRI

Model comparing surgical outcomes in those who had MRI versus those who did not have MRI [Number of studies in model] Number of subjects included in analysis Pooled Odds Ratio [Referent: No MRI] Pooled OR stratified by study-level aggregate age§ [Referent: No MRI]
Median or mean age < 55 years§ Median or mean age ≥ 55 years§

Subject numbers varied according to the number of studies contributing outcomes data to each model

*

P value for model comparing estimates of each outcome in those who had MRI relative to those who did not have MRI (referent group)

§

Estimates stratified around the median value [55.1 years] for study-level median or mean age

Pooled OR in model calculated directly from adjusted study-specific ORs

**

NA: not applicable (analysis based on three studies that did not report study-level median or mean age)
