Human development index is associated with mortality-to-incidence ratios of gastrointestinal cancers

Table 2 Actual and predicted mortality-to-incidence ratio values of gastrointestinal cancers in California

Cancer	Incidence(ASR, per100000)	Mortality(ASR, per100000)	Actual MIR	Predicted MIR(95%PI)1	ΔMIR
All gastrointestinal	74.3	39.6	0.533	0.560 ± 0.118	-0.027
Esophageal	3.8	3.4	0.895	0.803 ± 0.148	0.091
Stomach	7.4	4.3	0.581	0.653 ± 0.158	-0.072
Pancreatic	11.3	10.3	0.912	0.918 ± 0.104	-0.006
Liver	8.4	6.8	0.810	0.807 ± 0.101	0.002
Colorectal	43.4	14.8	0.341	0.416 ± 0.173	-0.075

¹MIR values were predicted using California’s human development index (HDI) (0.907) and the best-fit regression models. Δ_MIR = actual MIR-predicted MIR. ASR: Age-standardized rate; MIR: Age-standardized mortality-to-incidence ratio; PI: Prediction interval.
