Similarly, in Blichert-Toft's study of mastectomy versus breast-conserving surgery for breast cancer [ 30 ], randomized patients were more likely than nonrandomized patients to experience the outcome of cancer recurrence (13.7% versus 6.6%), although the difference was of borderline significance (relative risk: 2.08; 95% CI: 1.07, 4.02).

Similarly, in Blichert-Toft's study of mastectomy versus breast-conserving surgery for breast cancer [ 30 ], randomized patients were more likely than nonrandomized patients to experience the outcome of cancer recurrence (13.7% versus 6.6%), although the difference was of borderline significance (relative risk: 2.08; 95% CI: 1.07, 4.02). In the single study in which randomized patients were categorized as having a better baseline health status than nonrandomized patients, there was a nonsignificant trend towards the randomized patients being less likely to experience disease recurrence or death (odds ratio for randomized versus nonrandomized: 0.35; 95% CI: 0.12, 1.01) [ 31 ].
