Abstract 1929: Incidence and mortality rates of penile cancer among men in Puerto Rico and the United States

To determine the number of tonsillectomies and adenoidectomies (T-As) from 1968 to 1972 and their associated morbidity and mortality rates, a questionnaire was sent to all the hospitals listed in the Directory of the American Hospital Association (6,759). The data were analyzed and statistical projections were made. An analysis was also made of the summary report of the “Study on Surgical Services for the United States,” with regard to the incidence of T-A was also made. The results are presented in the following report.

e17522 Background: Cervical cancer [CC] incidence in the United States has decreased over the last thirty years in black and white Americans, however it is recognized that black women [BW] have higher incidence and mortality rates than white women [WW]. We evaluated race-specific incidence of CC, mortality rates of CC, and HPV vaccine usage rates in Louisiana [LA] during the last decade, the state with the second highest proportion of black Americans in the United States [US]. Methods: Data from Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) registries were analyzed for trends in incidence and mortality rate [MR] in BW and WW in LA and the US. SEER 13 and SEER 18 data were used and standardized to the 2000 US population to estimate annual age-adjusted incidence and mortality rates. Results: The incidence of CC in WW in LA was 8.2 per 100,000 from 2006 to 2009, and 7.9 per 100,000 in WW in US. The incidence in BW in LA was 13.3 per 100,000, as compared to the US at 9.7 per 100,000, a 36% higher incidence in BW. The MR in WW in LA and the US was 2.4 and 2.2 per 100,000. The MR for BW in LA was 5.8 per 100,000 and the US was 4.3 per 100,000, a 37% higher incidence in BW. WW in LA and the US showed a peak in incidence between the ages of 35 and 45 from 2006 to 2009. The incidence in BW in LA peaked at 37.1 per 100,000 at age 85 and the incidence in BW in the US peaked at 25.6 per 100,000 at age 85. HPV vaccination rates for LA females ages 13-15 in 2008 and 2009 were 16.1% and 35.4%. Conclusions: BW in LA were twice as likely to be diagnosed with CC than WW with a higher MR. Though the incidence rate of CC is decreasing in WW and BW in the US and in WW in LA, it is increasing in BW in LA and continues to trend up throughout life in BW compared to WW. The high incidence of CC in BW in LA highlights the need to improve utilization of the HPV vaccine. A screening and treatment program targeting CC was implemented within the last decade in the LA public hospital system with the goal of reducing CC incidence and mortality.

Aims The aim was to assess trends in peripheral arterial disease (PAD) incidence and mortality rates in European Union(15+) countries between 1990 and 2017. Methods and Results This observational study used data obtained from the 2017 Global Burden of Disease study. Age-standardised mortality and incidence rates from PAD were extracted from the Global Health Data Exchange for EU15+ countries for the years 1990–2017. Trends were analysed using Joinpoint regression analysis. Between 1990 and 2017, the incidence of PAD decreased in all 19 EU15+ countries for females, and in 18 of 19 countries for males. Increasing PAD incidence was observed only for males in the United States (+1.4%). In 2017, the highest incidence rates were observed in Denmark and the United States for males (213.6 and 202.3 per 100,000, respectively) and in the United States and Canada for females (194.8 and 171.1 per 100,000, respectively). There was a concomitant overall trend for increasing age-standardised mortality rates in all EU15+ countries for females, and in 16 of 19 EU15+ countries for males between 1990 and 2017. Italy (–25.1%), Portugal (–1.9%) and Sweden (–0.6%) were the only countries with reducing PAD mortality rates in males. The largest increases in mortality rates were observed in the United Kingdom (males +140.4%, females +158.0%) and the United States (males +125.7%, females +131.2%). Conclusions We identify shifting burden of PAD in EU15+ countries, with increasing mortality rates despite reducing incidence. Strong evidence supports goal-directed medical therapy in reducing PAD mortality – population-wide strategies to improve compliance to optimal goal-directed medical therapy are warranted.

Search Data

Background As human society enters an era of vast and easily accessible social media, a growing number of people are exploiting the internet to search and exchange medical information. Because internet search data could reflect population interest in particular health topics, they provide a new way of understanding health concerns regarding noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) and the role they play in their prevention. Objective We aimed to explore the association of internet search data for NCDs with published disease incidence and mortality rates in the United States and to grasp the health concerns toward NCDs. Methods We tracked NCDs by examining the correlations among the incidence rates, mortality rates, and internet searches in the United States from 2004 to 2017, and we established forecast models based on the relationship between the disease rates and internet searches. Results Incidence and mortality rates of 29 diseases in the United States were statistically significantly correlated with the relative search volumes (RSVs) of their search terms (P<.05). From the perspective of the goodness of fit of the multiple regression prediction models, the results were closest to 1 for diabetes mellitus, stroke, atrial fibrillation and flutter, Hodgkin lymphoma, and testicular cancer; the coefficients of determination of their linear regression models for predicting incidence were 80%, 88%, 96%, 80%, and 78%, respectively. Meanwhile, the coefficient of determination of their linear regression models for predicting mortality was 82%, 62%, 94%, 78%, and 62%, respectively. Conclusions An advanced understanding of search behaviors could augment traditional epidemiologic surveillance and could be used as a reference to aid in disease prediction and prevention.
