  1. IRR Incidence rate ratios, 95 % CI 95 % confidence intervals
  2. Model 1 assessed differences in cervical cancer mortality rates by educational level and Model 2 evaluated differences in mortality rates by type of health insurance. Both multivariable models included fixed effects for age group, urban or rural residence, and region of residence, as well as an interaction with age. Data sets including values from the multiple imputations for missing risk factor data were included in these analyses
