  1. Multivariate analysis adjusted for Nottingham histological grade (I–II/III), age (continuous), nodal status(0/1), and tumour size (continuous). ER status (positive/negative, 10% cut-off), and human epidermal growth receptor 2 (HER2) immunohistochemistry 0 to 2 vs 3. * = Ŧ p value for term of interaction including ER (0/1), HMG-CoAR (0/1) and an interaction variable.
