Bolded values signify statistical significance.
Results from quantile regression at the 50th percentile. Unadjusted, case-mix adjusteda, and case-mixa + county-level dermatologist density- adjusted. B is the difference (in days) from the reference LHIN.
aCase-mix: sex, age, minor ADG, major ADG, deprivation quintile, rurality, histology, location, history of non-melanoma skin cancer, previously established with dermatology.
