Cardiovascular Disease Risk Among Older Asian, Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islanders Lung Cancer Survivors.

ABSTRACT:

Background

There may be heterogeneity in lung cancer-related outcomes for individuals who are Asian, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islanders (ANHPI).

Objectives

The aims of this study were to investigate possible disparities in cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk between ANHPI and Non-Hispanic White (NHW) lung cancer survivors and evaluate potential CVD risk factors.

Methods

A total of 3920 ANHPI and 11,760 NHW lung cancer patients aged 66 years and older were identified from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER)-Medicare registry from 1999 to 2017. Cox proportional hazards models were used to calculate adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) for incident CVD, comparing ANHPI lung cancer patients and their race/ethnicity subgr
