Correlation of Cervical Cancer Mortality with Fertility, Access to Health Care and Socioeconomic Indicators by Diama Bhadra Vale (6879314)

“…In the multivariate analysis, only fertility rate was significantly associated with the CC mortality rate (coefficient of correlation: 9.38; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 5.16-13.59).
