PURPOSE: As life expectancy improves for @entity1 with @entity0 , more @entity1 will be living with symptoms of @entity4269 . This study reports the incidence of arm or hand @entity4 and associated risk factors in @entity1 with @entity0 following surgery. METHODS: Data were obtained from baseline and follow-up interviews of @entity1 with @entity0 (n = 145), and mammography and pathology records. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate the probability of developing arm or hand @entity4 over time. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify risk factors for arm or hand @entity4 . RESULTS: Of @entity1 in this study, 38% self-reported arm or hand @entity4 . There was a significantly increased risk of arm @entity4 if @entity1 were under 50 years of age, had axillary node dissection, received chemotherapy, worked outside the home, and had a high household income. There was no association of body weight with @entity4 . A significantly decreased risk of arm @entity4 was found in @entity1 who were on treatment for @entity101 . After adjustment for nodal dissection, only age had a significant independent effect. CONCLUSIONS: Our study highlights two important areas of future research that could reduce the incidence of @entity4269 . There is a need to better understand the role that treatment for @entity101 may play in protecting @entity1 from @entity4 . Second, the potential effect of weight as a modifiable @entity4269 risk factor needs to be studied in more detail in light of the conflicting results of different studies.
