  1. Correlation analysis performed using Spearman’s correlation assessing rank correlation between BREAST-Q™ BCT domain 1 “Satisfaction with breasts” and remaining domains
  2. aSpearman’s correlation coefficient (rho) measures the strength of the monotonic relationship between paired data and may lie between − 1 and 1. 0–0.19 = very weak, 0.2–0.39 = weak, 0.4–0.59 = moderate, 0.6–0.79 = strong, 0.8–1 = very strong. *p < 0.05 is considered a statistically significant correlation
