Adjusted for mammogram-level study site, age (5-year bands), breast density, and time since previous mammogram.

†

“Nonvulnerable” is taken to be the referent group.

‡

Based on a likelihood-ratio test which include/excludes single-vulnerability index.

§

P value for overall composite index, jointly assessing 2 vulnerability levels vs. referent nonvulnerable group.
