Incidence rate ratio (IRR) shows the impact of pre-existing individual conditions on health service use and mortality, by MMB levels. All analyses were adjusted for age, cancer type, stage, sex and number of visits one year before diagnosis. Prevalence of each condition in the study population is provided between bracket. For example, 5.1% of those who survived at least 30 days had been diagnosed with renal disease prior to cancer; 54.1% with hypertension, etc. As shown, impact of each condition greatly varies by MMB level and between conditions within the same level
