However, women who are diagnosed with cancer in their reproductive years may be a unique population.

Using a random matching process, comparison women were assigned an artificial age at cancer diagnosis equal to that of her cancer survivor match. An adjusted Cox model was fit examining time to unintended pregnancy after cancer for each of 1,000 matches. Cox proportional hazards models were also fit to assess associations between participant characteristics and unplanned pregnancy after cancer among survivors.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Cancer survivors (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20091,282) and comparison women (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20091,073) reported a similar likelihood of having an unplanned pregnancy in models adjusted for race, income, history of sexually-transmitted infection, and history of unplanned pregnancy before diagnosis (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 1.06, 95% simulation interval 0.85\u20131.36). After adjusting for confounders, unplanned pregnancy among survivors was associated with age &lt;30 years at diagnosis (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.79, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.32\u20132.44), black race (HR: 1.55, 95% CI: 1.13\u20132.12; referent: white), receiving fertility counseling (aHR: 1.41, 95% CI: 1.04\u20131.92), and having at least one child before diagnosis (aHR: 1.44, 95% CI: 1.05\u20131.97).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Cancer survivors and comparison women had similar likelihood of unplanned pregnancy.
