Abbreviation: OR, odds ratio; Q, quartile; ref, reference group; MV, multivariable; LOD, level of detection

*

Conditional on matching variables (age at blood draw and birthyear) and adjusted for parity

Test of trend using the Wald statistic from ordinal regression over quartile/group

All endometrioid, mucinous and clear cell tumors are categorized as Type 1 independent of grade.
