Physical well-being of the chest and upper body	−0.14	0.96	3.42	0.22	3.84	0.19	−2.16	0.52

^*Statistically significant (p<0.05).

^†Each model included the following covariates: age at surgery, timing of reconstruction (immediate v. delayed), flap type (msTRAM v. perforator), laterality (unilateral v. bilateral), neoadjuvant chemotherapy, history of smoking, Charlson comorbidity index, and history of pre-operative radiation.

^††The β coefficient refers to the predicted deviation in the dependent variable for each additional unit of independent variable.
