Suicide, other externally caused injuries, and cardiovascular disease within 2 years after cancer diagnosis: A nationwide population-based study in Japan (J-SUPPORT 1902).

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study aimed to investigate the risk of death by suicide, other externally caused injuries (ECIs), or cardiovascular disease for patients with cancer.

Methods

We used data from the National Cancer Registry, which include the entire population in Japan. Patients diagnosed with cancer from January 1 to December 31, 2016 were included, and their follow-up period was set to 2 years. The standardized mortality ratio (SMR) of death by suicide, other ECIs, and cardiovascular disease was calculated compared with the general population. Multivariate Poisson or negative binomial regression analysis was used to quantify the adjusted relative risks of factors of interest.

Results

We evaluated 1,070,876 patients with cancer. The 2-year follow-up SMR was 1.84 (95% co
