Relative survival and 95% CI of widowers (n = 371) and general population Jan 1st 1999-Jan 1st 2008.
| Years after death of spouse | Number of widowers alive at the beginning of the interval | Crude survival | Relative survival | Lower 95% CI for relative survival | Upper 95% CI for relative survival |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0-1 | 371 | 99.5% | > 100% | 100% | > 100% |
| 1-2 | 369 | 95.7% | 99.1% | 96% | > 100% |
| 3-4 | 355 | 93.3% | 98.5% | 95% | > 100% |
| 4-5 | 346 | 91.4% | 98.6% | 95% | > 100% |
| 5-6 | 339 | 88.9% | 98.2% | 94% | > 100% |
| 6-7 | 330 | 86.8% | 98.3% | 94% | > 100% |
Crude survival and number at risk in the beginning of time interval is also shown. The Finnish program SURV3 (Windows Software for Relative Survival) was used for calculating relative survival
