a negative trendP = .05
We observed a negative trend in the SIR of CRC for the middle year of the observation period (−2.6% per year, P = .05).
We observed a negative trend in the SIR of CRC for the middle year of the observation period (−2.6% per year, P = .05).
In the PRE subgroup, the pooled effect was lower and marginally non-significant (1.73, 95% CI 0.99-3.02; P = .053), with a wider prediction interval (0.38-7.79).
Notably, during the period of observation, there is an increasing trend in the CRC SIR in North America, whereas there is a declining trend in Central–Southern Europe.
