The total number of breast cancer cases do not add up to total due to missing information on covariates.

All models are adjusted for full-lifetime BOADICEA risk score, race/ethnicity, and study site and stratified by birth cohort. BBD models are also adjusted for screening mammography, recency of BBD models are also adjusted for age at baseline.
