  1. 1 IOR-80 is the 80% interval odds ratio which quantifies the contribution of area-level explanatory factors to the variations in survival between areas. If the interval does not include 1.0 it indicates that the effect of the area-level variable is large relative to the clustering effect of the SLAs.
  2. 2 IOR-80 is calculated with respect to the reference category for each area-level explanatory variable.
  3. 3 Estimates derived from best fitting fully adjusted Models 5 and 11 respectively (see text for details).
  4. 4 Includes remote and very remote categories.
