*Results from a three category of care model for repeated measurements of quality of life over time since diagnosis, with a random effect for geography and adjustment for time since diagnosis, age at diagnosis, type of cancer, socioeconomic status, severity of cancer, ethnicity, choice about where to receive treatment, long-term condition prior to cancer, days from first symptom to diagnosis, number of general practitioner visits before diagnosis. Missing data for 96 due to missing TYA category and missing data in other covariates.
