Consultation rates and tests in general practice in the year preceding an ovarian cancer diagnosis (omitting the IRR in the last month before diagnosis)

Number of contacts or tests in general practice stratified on ovarian cancer (yes/no). Borderline ovarian tumours included. Number of contacts/tests are presented as crude rates of mean number of contacts/tests per month. Incidence rate ratios were adjusted for age, comorbidity, educational level, marital status, disposable income and country of origin. Black lines represent 95% confidence intervals
