Multivariate adjusted* hazard ratios and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) estimates for death from all causes (overall survival) and death from Hodgkin lymphoma (HL-specific survival) in HL patients diagnosed between 1988 and 2006 in the state of California by age group, stage of disease at diagnosis, race/ethnicity and neighborhood socioeconomic status (SES).
