a

Other categories in race included Native American (n = 39), Pacific Islander (n = 30), multirace (n = 10), and other/unknown (n = 353).

b

Insurance status and type were only determined for US participants. Private refers to insurance within the US.

c

Time-dependent covariate: patients analyzed as entering the early discontinuation state 150 days after treatment was last given.

d

Recurrence score (determined with Oncotype DX, Genomic Health Inc) was used as a continuous variable in the model; therefore, no hazard ratio is reported.
