a

Violated proportional hazards assumption

b

Analysis stratified by database (P01 and SPORE)

c

HR, 95% Cl, and p-values reported are for the covariates in the final multivariable that includes CYP2D6 non- PM status. Covariate values for the models with CYP2D6 AS were not meaningfully different.

Tamoxifen treated models were stratified by database, untreated and overall models were stratified by database and PR status.

d

12 Patients missing age data were excluded from multivariable analyses
