Analysis of the difference in left ventricular ejection fractions (Δ LVEF)

All (N = 175) Left BC Group (N = 84) Right BC Group (N = 91) P value
LVEF0(%) 65 (60–69) 65 (61–70) 63 (59.5–67) 0.0208
 (Median [Q1–Q3])
LVEF1(%) 66 (62–70) 67 (64–70) 65 (60–70.5) 0.117
 (Median [Q1–Q3])
Analysis of Δ LVEF (n = 149) (n = 70) (n = 79) 0.562
 LVEF0 (%)-LVEF1(%) = Δ LVEF -2.22 (8.69) -1.78 (7.85) -2.60 (9.4) 95% CI: -2.004 – 3.648
 (Mean [SD])

BC = breast cancer; CI = confidental interval; LVEF0 = measurement of LVEF before RT; LVEF1-measurement of LVEF after the adjuvant treatment with T; Q1–Q3 = quartiles; SD = standard deviation
