Relative risk of false positive recall in postmenopausal women in relation to time since last use of hormone replacement therapy. (Relative risk compared with never users (1057/44 427 recalled) stratified by screening centre, age, previous screening, body mass index, previous breast operation, and time since menopause in: current users of hormone replacement therapy (relative risk 1.64, 95% confidence interval 1.50 to 1.80; 1157/28 634 recalled); past users ceasing use <1 year ago (1.42, 1.08 to 1.86; 63/1758 recalled), 1-4 years ago (1.23, 1.04 to 1.46; 176/5910 recalled), and ≥ 5 years ago (1.07, 0.85 to 1.34; 92/3800 recalled)). Results are plotted according to the median number of years since last use of hormone replacement therapy in each of these categories
