  1. Data are n (%) or mean (SD). DCIS = ductal carcinoma in situ
  2. *These women were all 49 years old and were invited to regular biennial screening a few months too early
  3. †Combined reading outcome of the double reading with arbitration
  4. ‡There is a small overlap of n = 426 (0.2%) studies in the arbitrations and agreements between first and second readers due to disagreements on subset outcomes with additional initiatives, such as stereotactic breast biopsy, which were eventually classified into the available binary screening outcome
