Survival of European patients diagnosed with lymphoid neoplasms in 2000-2002: results of the HAEMACARE project.
2011
The European Cancer Registry-based project on hematologic malignancies (HAEMACARE), set up to improve the availability and standardization of data on hematologic malignancies in Europe, used the European Cancer Registry-based project on survival and care of cancer patients (EUROCARE-4) database to produce a new grouping of hematologic neoplasma(defined by the International Classification of Diseases for Oncology, Third Edition and the 2001/2008 World Health Organization classifications) for epidemiological and public health purposes. We analyzed survival for lymphoid neoplasms in Europe by disease group, comparing survival between different European regions by age and sex. Design and Method…
Management of coronary artery disease patients in Latvia compared with practice in Central-Eastern Europe and globally: Analysis of the CLARIFY regis…
2015
Background and objective: Management of outpatients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD) is important in secondary prevention. The objective was to describe differences in the characteristics of CAD patients in Latvia compared with other countries. Materials and methods: CLARIFY is an ongoing international, prospective, observational, longitudinal registry of outpatients with CAD. Data regarding treated outpatients with established CAD from the CLARIFY registry in Latvia (n = 120) were compared with those from the rest of Central-Eastern Europe (CEE) (n = 2888) and worldwide (n = 33,163). Results: Patients in Latvia had a larger waist circumference (101 [95–109] vs. 99 [91–106] in CEE,…
The Riga East University Hospital Stroke Registry—An Analysis of 4915 Consecutive Patients with Acute Stroke
2021
Background and Objectives: A hospital-based stroke registry is a useful tool for systematic analyses of the epidemiology, clinical characteristics, and natural course of stroke. Analyses of stroke registry data can provide information that can be used by health services to improve the quality of care for patients with this disease. Materials and Methods: Data were collected from the Riga East University Hospital (REUH) Stroke Registry in order to evaluate the etiology, risk factors, clinical manifestations, treatment, functional outcomes, and other relevant data for acute stroke during the period 2016–2020. Results: During a five-year period, 4915 patients (3039 females and 1876 males) with…
Cancer Risk Near a Polluted River in Finland
2004
The River Kymijoki in southern Finland is heavily polluted with polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans and may pose a health threat to local residents, especially farmers. In this study we investigated cancer risk in people living near the river (less than 20.0 km) in 1980. We used a geographic information system, which stores registry data, in 500 m times 500 m grid squares, from the Population Register Centre, Statistics Finland, and Finnish Cancer Registry. From 1981 to 2000, cancer incidence in all people (N = 188884) and in farmers (n = 11132) residing in the study area was at the level expected based on national rates. Relative risks for total cancer and 27 cancer subtype…
Disclosing progress in cancer survival with less delay
2019
Cancer registration plays a key role in monitoring the burden of cancer. However, cancer registry (CR) data are usually made available with substantial delay to ensure best possible completeness of case ascertainment. Here, we investigate empirically with routinely available data whether such a delay is mandatory for survival analyses or whether data can be used earlier to provide more up-to-date survival estimates. We compared distributions of prognostic factors and period relative survival estimates for three population-based CRs in Germany (Schleswig-Holstein (SH), Rhineland-Palatinate (RP), Saarland (SA)) computed on datasets extracted one (DY+1) to 5 years after the year of diagnosis (…
Searching for Gene Expression Differences in Primary Fibroblasts Between Patients with One and Two Neoplasms in Childhood
2012
Genetic factors are important for developing primary and subsequent malignancies in children. This study investigated the role of genetic factors involved in DNA-repair. Designed as a feasibility study, it addressed the possibility of obtaining samples for genetic analyses from former patients through the German Childhood Cancer Registry. Testing feasibility was as important as the biological question itself. We analyzed the expression of DNA-repair genes in untreated primary fibroblasts of 20 individuals with a second neoplasm compared to 20 matched single neoplasm cases using customized cDNA microarrays (1344 gene sequences, about 800 genes). Matching was by first neoplasm, age, and year …
Long-term Net Survival in Patients With Colorectal Cancer in France
2013
Net survival, the survival that might occur if cancer was the only cause of death, is a major epidemiological indicator. Recent findings have shown that the classical methods used for the estimation of net survival from cancer registry data, referred as to "relative-survival methods," provided biased estimates.The aim of this study was to provide, for the first time, long-term net survival rates for colorectal cancer by using a population-based digestive cancer registry.This study is a population-based cancer registry analysis. The recently proposed unbiased nonparametric Pohar-Perme estimator was used.Overall, 14,715 colorectal cancers diagnosed between 1976 and 2005 and registered in the …
Adjuvant treatments for gastric cancer: From practice guidelines to clinical practice
2013
Abstract Background For gastric cancers, the benefits of adjuvant radiochemotherapy and of perioperative chemotherapy have been demonstrated since 2001 and 2006 respectively. The aim of this study was to evaluate the diffusion of adjuvant treatments in a French population. Methods 334 incident gastric cancers UICC Stage IB, II, III or IVM0 resected for cure and recorded in the Burgundy digestive cancer registry were retrospectively included. Patients were classified as having received an effective adjuvant treatment if they had been treated by adjuvant radiochemotherapy since 2001 or perioperative chemotherapy since 2006. Results The proportion of patients treated with an effective adjuvant…
Effect of Systemic Hypertension With Versus Without Left Ventricular Hypertrophy on the Progression of Atrial Fibrillation (from the Euro Heart Surve…
2018
Hypertension is a risk factor for both progression of atrial fibrillation (AF) and development of AF-related complications, that is major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE). It is unknown whether left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) as a consequence of hypertension is also a risk factor for both these end points. We aimed to assess this in low-risk AF patients, also assessing gender-related differences. We included 799 patients from the Euro Heart Survey with nonvalvular AF and a baseline echocardiogram. Patients with and without hypertension were included. End points after 1 year were occurrence of AF progression, that is paroxysmal AF becoming persistent and/or permanent AF,…
Characteristics and management of primary and other immune thrombocytopenias: Spanish registry study
2017
The natural history and its modulation by treatments administered for immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) in the clinical practice remains unknown. In addition, little information is available on the characteristics and management of ITP in Spain. We conducted an observational, multicenter, registry in 70 Hematology Services from Spain between 2009 and 2011, which included children from 2 months of age and adults with primary ITP or another ITP diagnosed within the last 6 months (platelet count [PC] 484 patients were included (median [Q1, Q3] age 52 [29,74] years, 87.6% adults), 56% women, 10.5% with secondary ITP. Median (Q1, Q3) PC at diagnosis was 12 × 109/l (4, 32); 72% of patients had bleed…
