Lung cancer mortality trends and disparities: A cross-sectional analysis 1999-2020.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Lung cancer remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States. Given the importance of epidemiological insight on lung cancer outcomes as the foundation for targeted interventions, we aimed to examine lung cancer death trends in the United States in the recent 22-year period, exploring demographic disparities and yearly mortality shifts.

Methods

Mortality information was obtained from the CDC Wide-ranging Online Data for Epidemiologic Research database from the years 1999-2020. Demographic information included age, sex, race or ethnicity, and area of residence. We performed log-linear regression models to assess temporal mortality shifts and calculated average annual percentage change (AAPC) and compared age-adjusted mortality rates (AAMR) ac
