Correlation of axillary surgery performance rate with continuous variables In the linear regression analysis of continuous variables, the axillary surgery rate in DCIS demonstrated a decreasing trend with year of surgery in BCS (−0.009; R 2 = 0.287; 95% confidence interval [CI], −0.014 – −0.004; p = 0.001), while it exhibited an increasing pattern with a large tumor size (0.017; R 2 = 0.599; 95% CI, 0.007 – 0.028; p = 0.005).
