Median (and IQR) presentation and healthcare delays, univariable hazards ratios, 95% confidence intervals and p-values for persons with pTB in the South West of England from 2015 to 2020 for each exposure variable.

The relationship between age cubed and presentation delay for treatment of pTB in South West England, 2015-2020 adjusted for sex.
Note: lower predicted hazards ratios indicated longer delays between symptom onset and presentation to healthcare. Hazards ratios are lower for those aged 35-50 years and over 80 years old.
