Median/Mean Change in L-Dex Scores Versus Risk Factors for Breast Cancer-Related Lymphedema

	All patients (n = 505)	Elevated BMI (n = 4)	Taxane (n = 100)	SLNB only (n = 39)	SLNB/taxane (n = 122)	ALND only (n = 17)	ALND/RNI (n = 202)	ALND/RNI Taxane (n = 7)
Median	3.8	3.2	3.3	3.7	3.6	5.2	9.4	16.7
Mean	5.5	4.0	5.4	6.6	5.5	7.4	13.1	17.8

Some combinations of risk factors had too few patients.

ALND, axillary lymph node dissection; BMI, body mass index; RNI, regional nodal irradiation; SLNB, sentinel lymph node biopsy.
