Thirteen patients with no known phenotype at diagnosis, of whom one female died due to pulmonary cause, were excluded from analysis in the age (<40 years and ⩾40 years), disease location, and behaviour at diagnosis categories.

No, number of patients; Exp, expected number of deaths; upper GI, upper gastrointestinal; SMR, standardised mortality ratio; 95% CI, 95% confidence interval.
