(48%) did not. The wPWA group experienced an average decrease in PWA of 25 points compared to baseline (95% CI[22–28] p<0.001). The control group experienced an average increase in PWA of 8 points compared to baseline (95% CI[5–10] p<0.001). Based on univariate analysis, we fitted a predictive multivariable logistic regression model including race, depression, hypertension, BMI, bilateral reconstruction, baseline PWA, and baseline RAND-36 general health scores (of p<0.2). This analysis showed an association between a higher baseline PWA (p<0.001) and race (p=0.009) with higher odds of decreased PWA at the 12-month follow-up. A higher baseline RAND-36 general health score, bilateral reconstruction (versus unilateral), and a lower BMI demonstrated a trend for clinically-important worsening of PWA.
