Trends in extent of surgical cytoreduction for patients with ovarian cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To identify patient and hospital characteristics associated with extended surgical cytoreduction in the treatment of ovarian cancer.

Methods

A retrospective analysis using the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database identified women hospitalized for surgery to remove an ovarian malignancy between 2013 and 2017.

Chi-square and logistic regression were used to analyze patient and hospital demographics related to ECR, and trends were assessed using the Cochran-Armitage test.
