Disparities in mortality risk after diagnosis of hematological malignancies in 185 countries: A global data analysis.
Cancer Letters 2024 March 20
This study was to report proxy measures for mortality risk in patients with hematological malignancies across 185 countries globally and explore its association with their socioeconomic status and treatment. The incidence, mortality, and 5-year prevalence data were extracted from the GLOBOCAN database. The data regarding the human development index (HDI), gross national income (GNI), vulnerability index, and concordance with cancer Essential Medicines List (EML) were obtained from open-source reports. The ratio of mortality to 5-year-prevalence (MPR) and that of mortality to incidence (MIR) were calculated and age-standardized using Segi's world standard population. Finally, the possible associations were assessed using Pearson correlation analyses. In 2020, the global incidence, mortality, and 5-year prevalence of HMs were 1,278,362, 711,840, and 3,616,685, respectively. Global age-standardized MPR and MIR were 0.15 and 0.44, respectively; they varied significantly among 6 regions, 185 countries, 4 HM types, and 4 HDI groups worldwide. Older populations always had higher ratios. The correlation of MPRs and MIRs with HDI, GNI, and concordance with cancer EML was negative, whereas it was positive with the vulnerability index (lower was better). Increasing access to cancer drugs in resource-limited regions with a focus on vulnerable children may aid in reducing HM-related mortality risk.
