^aModels adjusted for the following covariates: sex, urban/rural, Medicaid, comorbidity, prior hospitalization, preventable hospitalization, endoscopies in prior year, stage, grade, histology, and tumor location, and the main effects of race and neighborhood poverty.

Values in bold represent odds ratios for which the 95% confidence interval does not include the value one.
