Table 2 Univariable and multivariable quantile regressions for OF1, OF2, OF3 and OF4 for rectal, lung and prostate cancer patients diagnosed in 2015–2016 in Norway. Estimates are only presented for the variable “Treatment hospital in health trust”, but the multivariable analyses are additionally adjusted for year of diagnosis, age group, sex and stage. Analyses were stratified for surgery and radiotherapy

From: Compliance with recommended cancer patient pathway timeframes and choice of treatment differed by cancer type and place of residence among cancer patients in Norway in 2015–2016
