Multivariate Analysis of Margin Positivity.*
| Factor | Odds Ratio (95% CI) | P Value |
|---|---|---|
| Hispanic ethnic group | 4.76 (0.77–29.43) | 0.09 |
| Presence of DCIS | 1.11 (0.36–3.39) | 0.86 |
| Size of DCIS | 1.87 (1.40–2.49) | <0.001 |
| Standard partial mastectomy | 2.06 (0.98–4.32) | 0.06 |
The comparator groups for the listed factors are as follows: for Hispanic ethnic group, the comparator group was non-Hispanic ethnic group; for presence of DCIS, absence of DCIS; and for standard partial mastectomy, cavity shave margin. The size of the tumor in patients with DCIS was analyzed as a continuous variable, such that the odds ratio reflects the odds of having positive margins per incremental centimeter. CI denotes confidence interval.
