a
The excess RRs for ethnicity are computed from relative survival models which included, when applicable, other covariates. The estimated RRs represent the estimated effects of being of South Asian ethnic origin on the excess mortality rates.
b
Ethnicity is defined as being South Asian vs being non-South Asian.
c
Including interaction terms between age and period of diagnosis.
