20.500.12556/DiRROS-15447 Cancer patients’ survival according to socioeconomic environment in a high-income country with universal health coverage Despite having an established systematic approach to population survival estimation in Slovenia, the influence of socioeconomic environment on cancer patients’ survival has not yet been evaluated. Thus, the main aim of our study was to quantify the potential impact of socioeconomic environment on cancer patients’ survival in our population in the 21st century. The net survival was calculated and stratified into quintiles of Slovenian version of the European Deprivation Index for all adult cancer patients diagnosed between 2004 and 2018 using the national cancer registry data. After accounting for basic demographic variables (age and gender), differences in stage at diagnosis, as well as the impact of the cancer treatment improvements over time, we found that cancer patients in Slovenia with lower socioeconomic status experience worse survival and have higher mortality. In particular, the odds of dying from oral, stomach, colorectal, liver, pancreatic, lung, breast, ovarian, corpus uteri, prostate, and bladder cancers, as well as for melanoma, leukemia, and non-Hodgkin lymphoma, are significantly higher in the socioeconomically most deprived group of patients compared to the most affluent group. The inequalities in cancer burden we found could help decision-makers to better understand the magnitude of this problem. cancer population-survival socioeconomic deprivation cancer registry rak (bolezen) preživetje socialno-ekonomska prikrajšanost register raka true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik by Authors Neznano 2022-09-06 03:35:25 2022-09-06 10:49:11 2022-09-07 12:47:40 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2022 0 0 Nasl. z nasl. zaslona; Opis vira z dne 19. 4. 2021; str. 1620-1-1620-12 no. 7 Vol. 14 2022 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno apc 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2022-01-01 614.2 2072-6694 10.3390/cancers14071620 105288451 https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6694/14/7/1620/htm 1 6b57844b-2d73-11ed-bea5-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=20430 RAZ_Zadnik_Vesna_2022.pdf RAZ_Zadnik_Vesna_2022.pdf 1 E6D9D29D65DD275F39983DD7AA43C3D4 978427b0f3faa9b28a3b7d7c8053d64f4c62de81a53675edf93e31e33ba7e9af d88bfa3f-2d9d-11ed-bea5-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=20433 Onkološki inštitut Ljubljana 0 0 0
