Uptake and predictors of post-mastectomy reconstruction in women with breast malignancy – Systematic review
Abstract
Purpose There is enormous range in the reported rates of breast reconstruction. This study explored reasons for this variation by reviewing the published literature to examine rates of reconstruction, factors associated with uptake, and possible barriers.Methods A systematic review of the literature was performed. Eligible studies reported rates of breast reconstruction and variables associated with uptake in women undergoing mastectomy for early invasive or in situ breast malignancy.Results Twenty-eight eligible studies were included, reporting 159,305 cases of breast reconstruction in 940,678 women. In these studies 16·9% of women underwent immediate or delayed reconstruction (range 4·9-81·2%, median 23·3%). Variables associated with reconstruction were: patient/tumour factors (early stage, no adjuvant therapy, young age, white race, private insurance, higher education/income), surgeon/hospital factors and psychological/other factors (including patient choice).Conclusion Rates of breast reconstruction were highly variable. Reconstruction appeared to be offered to a minority of women; around half took up the offer. The main reasons reported for no reconstruction included patient-related and adjuvant therapy-related factors. Clinicians' beliefs about reconstruction may be an important factor. Rates of reconstruction could be increased with early discussion of the options when mastectomy is chosen or required.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
