Abstract
TORREGLOSA-HERNANDEZ, Sindy et al. Survival analysis and associated factors in patients with cervical cancer financed by the Seguro Popular in Mexico. Salud pública Méx [online]. 2022, vol.64, n.1, pp.76-86. Epub Mar 06, 2023. ISSN 0036-3634. https://doi.org/10.21149/13119.
Objective:
Estimate five-year survival from cervical cancer and associated factors in Mexican patients financed by Seguro Popular during the period 2006-2014.
Materials and methods:
We analyzed the database of patients financed by the Catastrophic Expenses Protection Fund and linked it to the Statistical and Epidemiological System of mortality. We performed a five-year survival analysis by clinical stage and associated factors, using the Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional hazards models.
Results:
Overall survival for cervical cancer at five years was 68.5%. The associated factors were the clinical stage: locoregional (HR=2.8 CI95% HR: 2.6,3.0) and metastatic (HR=5.4 CI95% HR: 4.9,5.9) compared to early stage and age (HR=1.003 CI95% HR:1.001,1.004).
Conclusions:
Women who gained access to Catastrophic Expenses Protection Fund cervical cancer care had similar survival than that reported in other studies.
