Morbidity Risk

<span>Morbidity risk is linked to the health status or a disease within a population. Morbidity risk is the risk of illness associated with health status or disease within a population. Cancer is one of the prime causes of both morbidity and mortality in majority of countries worldwide. In year 2016, the probability of Malaysian diagnosed with cancer before they reach age 75 is one over four. It has been reported that lung cancer has the highest deaths and it increased by 16.03% from 2012 to 2016. Malaysian National Cancer Registry reported that in year 2007 until 2011, 69.9% of lung cancer are men and the remaining 30.1% are women. Chinese become the dominant lung cancer cases representing 51.04% of total lung cancer patients in Malaysia followed by Malay, 44.81% and Indian, 4.16%. Treatments for lung cancer patients may vary by cancer stages. If cancer were just spread in one place, doctor may recommend a local treatment to get rid of cancer completely. Whereas, if a cancer has spread throughout the whole body, more comprehensive treatments may be needed. Therefore, knowing the probability of transition rate between cancer stages is important for healthcare cost effectiveness evaluation and expected cost calculation. This paper aims to estimate lung cancer transition rate by stages using the Functional Markov model. The Lung cancer transition rate will be calculated based on discrete time on a yearly basis. As a result, the probability of a Lung cancer patient recovering or deteriorating can be estimated.</span>

Abstract Background Cancer is one of the most common non-communicable diseases and the second cause of death in Iran. The progress in medical technologies and treatment plans has caused the patients to live longer; however, these patients are confronted with psychological challenges and their mental health is influenced because of different reasons. This study is carried out to investigate the mental health status of the cancer patients in the Center for Specific Diseases. Methods The present research is a cross-sectional, descriptive, and analytic study carried out in 2018 in Tehran province, Iran. In the present study, the mental health of the cancer patients referring to the Center for Specific Diseases in Tehran was evaluated in one setting, and no intervention was provided. The research population included 124 cancer patients of Tehran referring to the Center for Specific Diseases. Results the overall prevalence of psychiatric disorders in patients under study was 50%. The highest sensitivity to mental disorders in each of the variables was related to men (52.7%), patients aging 40-55 (45.7%), married (51.5%), unemployed (62.5%), and illiterate patients (80%). The findings of this study indicated that there is no statistically significant relationship between the prevalence of psychiatric disorders among patients with cancer and the variables in the study. Conclusions The results of this study indicated a high prevalence of depression disorder among cancer patients. Psychosocial stresses caused by cancer cause mental disorders, including depression in patients.
