What was measured

Ovarian cancer deaths confirmed in participants by a death review committee if available, otherwise by death certificate. Rate is the number of deaths divided by person years of follow-up in the study.

Analysis population: Female participants, excluding females without ovaries at baseline, were analyzed. An intention-to-treat analysis was performed.

Groups in this outcome

Control

Participants receive standard medical care.

Ovarian Screening

Participants undergo blood sample collection for CA125 analysis at baseline annually for 5 years. Participants also undergo an OVR (discontinued in December 1998) and TVU at baseline and annually for 3 years.

Group identifiers and denominators belong to this outcome only. They may differ in another outcome or in safety reporting.
