Regression model for BREAST-Q scores in IBR vs. ABR patients.
| Dependent variable | IBR (n = 112) | ABR (n = 224) | Unadjusted difference (95% CI) | P value | Adjusted difference (95% CI) | P value |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Satisfaction with breast | 55.5 ± 18.4 | 68.3 ± 19.4 | 12.8 (8.4–17.2) | <0.001 | 14.7 (8.3–21.0) | <0.001 |
| Satisfaction with outcome | 60.0 ± 20.8 | 70.9 ± 21.6 | 10.9 (6.0–15.7) | <0.001 | 14.9 (8.0–21.9) | <0.001 |
| Psychosocial well-being | 68.8 ± 21.2 | 73.2 ± 20.3 | 4.4 (−0.3–9.1) | 0.068 | 7.6 (1.0–14.2) | 0.024 |
| Sexual well-being | 52.9 ± 24.6 | 57.8 ± 22.7 | 5.0 (−0.6–10.5) | 0.078 | 9.4 (1.6–17.2) | 0.019 |
| Physical well-being | 64.2 ± 17.6 | 68.7 ± 17.2 | 4.5 (0.5–8.4) | 0.027 | 6.2 (0.8–11.7) | 0.026 |
Independent variables computed in this model: age, BMI, cup size preoperatively, smoking, educational level, tumor classification (T stage, N stage), radiotherapy, hormone therapy, reconstruction type, reconstruction timing, follow-up duration after reconstruction.
