Relative excessive risk of death (RER) for patients with diagnoses glioblastoma in 2007–2013 compared with diagnoses in 2000–2006. RER less than 1 indicates that patients diagnosed in 2007–2013 had a lower excess risk of death compared with patients diagnosed in 2000–2006 and vice versa.

The estimates are age-standardized and can be compared between the two periods.

One-year, 3-year and 5-year survival rates are shown as percentages with 95% confidence intervals.

Adjusted P-values refer to P-values adjusted for multiple testing.
