Table 3 Mortality rate ratios (MRR) for the effect of female compared to male gender, for the total mortality, diagnostic mortality, as well as the diagnostic category-specific survival derived from breed-specific Cox regressions. Estimated ratios are given in brackets when they were not significant (p ≥ 0.05). The data are from dogs life-insured at Agria1 between years 1995–2000. Confidence intervals (95% CIs) are included for the total and diagnostic mortality rates.
