Trends in suicide mortality among prostate cancer survivors in the United States, 1975-2019.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Suicide was an important cause of death in prostate cancer. This study intended to investigate trends in suicide mortality among prostate cancer (PCa) survivors from 1975 to 2019 in the United States.

Method

We identified PCa survivors from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program from January 1975 to December 2019. Standardized mortality rate (SMR) was calculated d to assess the relative risk of suicide in PCa survivors compared with the general men population. Poisson regression model was performed to test for trend of SMRs. The cumulative mortality rate of suicide was calculated to assess the clinical burden of suicide mortality.

Results

7108 (0.2%) cases were death from suicide cause, and 2,308,923(65.04%%) cases recorded as dying
