Comorbidity, Age, and Race: Impact on Stage. The impact of comorbidity, age, and race on stage at diagnosis is measured by the adjusted odds ratios of these factors. The odds ratios, shown here with 95% confidence intervals, are for a single unit increase in comorbidity, a decade increase in age, and the comparison of white vs. non-white for race. The relationship between comorbidity and stage among VA patients is statistically significant, but the upper bounds of the CI rounds to 1.0 (0.998).
