Temporal trends of cervical cancer demographics: a CDC WONDER database study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Despite advancements in cervical cancer screening and HPV vaccines, demographic disparities perpetuate the burden of cervical cancer. The aim of this study is to utilize the most up-to-date CDC WONDER data of cervical cancer mortality to provide a comprehensive temporal analysis of demographic variables and account for patients missed in other database studies. In doing so, temporal trends found in this study may be used to guide future efforts and studies to understand nuanced barriers to cervical cancer screening and prevention.

Methods
