Correcting uterine cancer mortality in Estonia using linkage of causes of death and cancer registry data, 2000–2021
Background
Cervical and corpus uteri cancer mortality may be underestimated due to a proportion of deaths attributed to unspecified uterine cancer. The aim was to estimate corrected mortality rates and trends for cervical and corpus uteri cancer in Estonia after reallocation of underlying cause of death using individual linkage of death records and cancer registry records.
Methods
Deaths in Estonian female population in 2000–2021 with the underlying cause of cervical cancer (ICD-10 code C53), corpus uteri cancer (C54) or cancer of uterus not otherwise specified (C55) were individually linked to Estonian Cancer Registry to identify any cancers diagnosed in these persons. Underlying cause of death was reallocated if applicable. Original and corrected age-standardized (world) mortality trends were modelled using joinpoint regression.
Results
During 2000–2021, the corrected number of deaths was 1409 cervical cancer deaths (originally 1388, 1.5 % increase), 1146 corpus uteri cancer deaths (902, 27 % increase), and 50 unspecified uterine cancer deaths (368, 86 % decrease). Proportion of unspecified deaths decreased from 26 % (2000–2004) to 4 % (2016–2021) (p < 0.001). After correction, cervical cancer mortality trend steepened slightly from 0.8 % decrease per year to 1.1 % decrease (both significant). Corpus uteri cancer mortality trend changed direction from significant increase of 1.9 % per year to significant decrease of 1.4 % per year.
Conclusions
Routine linkage of causes of death records with cancer registry is warranted for validating underlying cause of death. The results emphasize the importance of the availability of medical documentation for physicians assigning cause of death as well as relevant training.
期刊介绍:
Cancer Epidemiology is dedicated to increasing understanding about cancer causes, prevention and control. The scope of the journal embraces all aspects of cancer epidemiology including:
• Descriptive epidemiology
• Studies of risk factors for disease initiation, development and prognosis
• Screening and early detection
• Prevention and control
• Methodological issues
The journal publishes original research articles (full length and short reports), systematic reviews and meta-analyses, editorials, commentaries and letters to the editor commenting on previously published research.
