Cumulative 5-year relative survival ratio (RSR) and the estimated relative excess risks of mortality (RER) by age.

The deviance is a measure of the models goodness-of-fit. Under the hypothesis that the model fits, the deviance should follow a chi-square distribution with the specified degrees of freedom). 2Likelihood ratio test of the effect of age in the model; df = 3, chi-square = 96.7, p<0.0001. 3Model adjusted for year (1992–93, 1994–95, 1996–97, 1998–99, 2000–01, 2002–03, 2004–05) and stage (I, IIa, IIb, III, IV, undefined). Likelihood ratio test of the effect of age in the model; df = 3, chi-square = 33.5, p<0.0001. 4Deviance 26, Residual df 12. 5Deviance 945, Residual df 760. Cumulative 5-year relative survival ratio (RSR) and the estimated relative excess risks of mortality (RER) by age with 95% confidence intervals (CI) of women 20–69 years, diagnosed with primary breast cancer of all stages between 1992 and 2005 (22 017 women).
