  • Title: Relation of time since last birth and parity to survival of young women with breast cancer.
    Author: Olson SH, Zauber AG, Tang J, Harlap S.
    Journal: Epidemiology; 1998 Nov; 9(6):669-71. PubMed ID: 9799180.
    Abstract:
    We investigated whether survival was related to recent childbirth or parity in a cohort of 540 women diagnosed with breast cancer before the age of 45 years who were followed for up to 14 years. Women who had given birth within 2 years before their diagnosis of breast cancer were at increased risk of dying, compared with nulliparous women, with an adjusted relative risk of 3.1 (95% confidence interval = 1.8-5.4). There was a moderate association of parity with mortality, with an adjusted relative risk of 1.8 (95% confidence interval = 1.2-2.9) for women with three or more births, compared with nulliparous women.
