  1. *M1: presents crude sHR for each individual-level and area-level attribute. **M2: adjusted sHR for each individual-level and area-level attribute adjusted for all other factors in the model (age, sex, area remoteness, area level SES, period, cancer site, grade and stage). ***M3a–c: M2 plus comorbidity as index scores, CCI, ECI and C3, respectively. ~Bold entries indicate significance at p < 0.05. Note: Index scores derived from original weights in the CCI, Charlson comorbidity index; CRC specific C3 comorbidity index; weights and ECI, Elixhauser comorbidity index, scores from weights developed by van Walraven et al.29.
