—indicates not calculated; BC, breast cancer.

*

Analyses were adjusted for age at first live birth (≤ 22y, 23-26y, and ≥ 27y).

Columns do not add to 50 patients and 96 control subjects because some women had a live birth both before and after HL, and are counted in both analyses, while others are counted only once.
