Rural-metropolitan disparities in ovarian cancer survival: A statewide population-based study
Annals of Epidemiology Apr 19, 2018
Park J, et al. - Researchers evaluated ovarian cancer mortality, and differences in prognostic factors by rural-metropolitan residence in order to determine rural-metropolitan disparities in ovarian cancer survival. They used the Utah Population Database to identify ovarian cancer cases diagnosed between 1997-2012. Cox proportional hazard regression models were used to estimate all-cause death and ovarian cancer death risks. No significant association was found between rural residence and risk of ovarian cancer death. The risk of all-cause mortality and cancer-specific death was shown to be influenced by different factors that were noted in patients residing in rural-metropolitan areas.
