CI=confidence interval.
^aSurvival estimated with cohort or complete approach (see Rachet et al, 2008).
^bMean absolute change (%) in the deprivation gap in survival every 5 years, adjusted for the underlying trend in survival (see Rachet et al, 2008).
^cSurvival estimated with hybrid approach (see Rachet et al, 2008).
^*P<0.05; ^**P<0.01.
