Incidence and risk factors of cardiovascular mortality in patients with gastrointestinal adenocarcinoma.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Gastrointestinal (GI) cancers are common and fatal. Improved cancer-directed therapies, with thier substantial role in improving cancer-specific survival, may increase non-cancer mortality-including cardiovascular mortality-in these patients.

Aim

To identify the risk factors of cardiovascular mortality in GI adenocarcinoma patients.

Methods

Data of GI adenocarcinoma patients were gathered from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database. We used Pearson's chi-square test to assess the relationships between categorical variables. We used the Kaplan-Meyer test in the univariate analysis and Cox regression test for the multivariate analysis.

Results

Among 556,350 included patients, 275,118 (49.6%) died due to adenocarcinoma, 64,079 (11.5%)
