Neighborhood Disadvantage and Cardiovascular Mortality Among Colorectal Cancer Survivors.

ABSTRACT: Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a common cause of death among colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. We examined whether neighborhood disadvantage is associated with CVD mortality in CRC patients. Methods: Data were obtained from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program for primary CRC patients diagnosed between 2006 and 2017. Neighborhood disadvantage was measured using the quintiles of the Yost Index, a socioeconomic composite measure. Cause-specific mortality (CVD-specific and CRC-specific mortality) was evaluated using a competing risk cause-specific hazard model, controlling for demographic and clinical covariates. Cumulative incidence function (CIF) and restricted mean survival time (RMST) analyses were performed to provide complementary est
