a

Individuals with suspected Duke D are assumed to be Duke D. B+ NOS = Duke B or worse not otherwise specified; CI = confidence interval; OR = odds ratio.

b

This analysis equates to assuming stage is missing completely at random.

c

Percentages of disease-free controls matched to cases of the relevant stage.

d

Corrected for self-selection: 1.00 for all stages, 1.04 up to Duke C or worse, and 1.20 for Duke D.

e

Duke B or worse always includes those with stage recorded as Duke B+ NOS, but Duke C or worse always excludes them.
