Fig. 4From: The need to study rural cancer outcome disparities at the local level: a retrospective cohort study in Kansas and MissouriHazard ratios for rural vs. urban residents after adjusting for stage. The figure shows average hazard-ratios, with 95% confidence intervals, for the hazards of rural vs. urban residents with respect to overall survival. We show results for IPTW weighted models with or without an additional covariate for stage. Previously, rural residence had a significant effect on hazards for colon and lung cancer as well as non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. After adjusting for stage, the effect for colon cancer was no longer significantBack to article page
