Pooled medians for the patient, diagnostic, and treatment intervals from studies conducted in high-income countries as a function of the Index of Cancer Preparedness on Policy and Planning (ICP PP).

Note: k = number of studies/estimates; N = number of patients; med = pooled median; LLCI and ULCI = lower level and upper level confidence interval, respectively; Breast cancer excludes pregnancy-associated breast cancer; R2 = percentage of variance in the outcome explained by the moderator in a moderator test from a random-effects model. When k = 1, the median from the single located study is reported. The high vs. lower IPC PP groups were created based on k-means clustering (“natural” grouping of the data).
