The effects of clinical and sociodemographic factors on survival, resource use and lead times in patients with high-grade gliomas : a population-based register study

Our primary aim was to analyse sociodemographic factors, resource use and lead times in health care after diagnosis with high grade malignant glioma (HGG) in a large population based cohort.
