  • All ORs are adjusted for confounding variables age, sex and invitation round.

  • *Indicates that the alternative model (including the time period) better fitted the data. All ORs are presented for the alternative model including time period, regardless if it improved the model.

  • CRC, colorectal cancer; FIT, faecal immunochemical testing.
