aSample size excluded women with a history of genetic testing in the high risk category (n=6342), no personal history of cancer (n=7056), or unknown family history (n=19,138). These categories were not mutually exclusive, and 26,062 were excluded from the analysis.

bPPV: positive predictive value.

cNPV: negative predictive value.

dP value was calculated using McNemar test.
