Flowchart showing patient identification, drop-out, and GP involvement. Flowchart showing patient identification, drop-out, and GP involvement. The box on the left indicates exclusion of patients because of no GP involvement, whereas the box on the right indicates drop-out because of GP non-response. CPP = cancer patient pathways. ICD = International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems. Henry Jensen et al. Br J Gen Pract 2016;66:e434-e443 ©2016 by British Journal of General Practice

Odds ratios and 95% CIs for patients with incident cancer with non-missing tumour stage diagnosed through a primary care route having local cancer during (blue) and after (black) CPP implementation compared with before CPP implementation. Odds ratios and 95% CIs for patients with incident cancer with non-missing tumour stage diagnosed through a primary care route having local cancer during (blue) and after (black) CPP implementation compared with before CPP implementation. Values <1 indicate less likelihood of having local cancer compared with before CPP implementation. All values are adjusted for sex, age, cancer site, comorbidity, educational level, and household income. GI = gastrointestinal. Henry Jensen et al.

Odds ratios and 95% CIs for patients with incident cancer, with non-missing tumour stage diagnosed through a primary care route of having local cancer shown for CPP-referred patients (black) and non-CPP-referred patients (blue), both compared with all patients before CPP implementation. Values <1 indicate less likelihood of having local cancer compared with before CPP implementation. All values are adjusted for sex, age, cancer site, comorbidity, educational level, and household income. GI = gastrointestinal. Henry Jensen et al.

Odds ratios and 95% CIs of local cancer among CPP-referred patients compared with non-CPP-referred patients. Odds ratios and 95% CIs of local cancer among CPP-referred patients compared with non-CPP-referred patients. Values <1 indicate that CPP-referred patients are less likely to have localised cancer than non-CPP-referred patients. All values are adjusted for sex, age, cancer site, comorbidity, educational level, and household income. GI = gastrointestinal. Henry Jensen et al.
