Population-Based Study of Bloodstream Infection Incidence and Mortality Rates, Finland, 2004–2018

AbstractJapan is still a medium-burden tuberculosis (TB) country. We aimed to examine trends in newly notified active TB incidence and TB-related mortality in the last two decades in Japan. This is a population-based study using Japanese Vital Statistics and Japan Tuberculosis Surveillance from 1997 to 2016. We determined active TB incidence and mortality rates (per 100 000 population) by sex, age and disease categories. Joinpoint regression was applied to calculate the annual percentage change (APC) in age-adjusted mortality rates and to identify the years showing significant trend changes. Crude and age-adjusted incidence rates reduced from 33.9 to 13.9 and 37.3 to 11.3 per 100 000 population, respectively. Also, crude and age-adjusted mortality rates reduced from 2.2 to 1.5 and 2.8 to 1.0 per 100 000 population, respectively. Average APC in the incidence and mortality rates showed significant decline both in men (−6.2% and −5.4%, respectively) and women (−5.7% and −4.6%, respectively). Age-specific analysis demonstrated decreases in incidence and mortality rates for every age category, except for the incidence trend in the younger population. Although trends in active TB incidence and mortality rates in Japan have favourably decreased, the rate of decline is far from achieving TB elimination by 2035.

Abstract Background Ovarian cancer is the fifth most common cancer among females in Brunei Darussalam in 2017. This study aims to provide nationwide cancer statistics including cancer incidence, mortality, survival rates for women diagnosed with epithelial ovarian cancer, and evaluate the prognostic factors of epithelial ovarian cancer patients survival in Brunei Darussalam. Methods This is a retrospective population-based study of patients diagnosed with epithelial ovarian cancer between 1st January 2007 and 31st December 2017 in Brunei Darussalam. Crude, age-specific, age-standardized incidence and mortality rates per 100,000 women were calculated. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis method was used to determine the overall 5-years survival rate of epithelial ovarian cancer patients. Log-rank test was used to examine the differences in survival between groups. The Multivariable Cox Proportional Hazard (PH) regression models were used to estimate the hazard ratio (HRs) for overall survival and to identify the prognostic factor of epithelial ovarian cancer patients. PH assumption over time for these models were evaluated. Results A total of 207 patients were included in the study. The crude incidence and mortality rates were 9.7 and 3.6 per 100,000 respectively while the age-standardized incidence and mortality rates were 11.3 (95% CI: 9.7, 12.9) and 4.5 (95% CI: 3.4, 5.6) per 100,000 respectively in the period 2007-2017. The overall mean age at diagnosis was 48.4 (standard deviation=15.3) years. The overall survival rates at 1, 3, and 5 years for epithelial ovarian cancer patients were 79.7%, 69.7%, and 61.4% respectively. Age at diagnosis, district, cancer stage, and histology were the significant prognostic factors for epithelial ovarian cancer patients’ survival. Older age at diagnosis (\(\ge\)70 years vs <40 years), regional or advanced stage (vs localized stage) and having undifferentiated or other epithelial ovarian (vs serous carcinoma) were associated with having higher hazard of death while patients residing in Belait district (vs Brunei Muara) was associated with having lower hazard. Conclusion More efforts and research should be made to detect the disease at early stage through education and public awareness to ensure the availability of high-quality care for all women with ovarian cancer and to improve the survival rates of patients with ovarian cancer.

Aims To measure the incidence and mortality rates of ischemic stroke (IS) subtypes in Joinville, Brazil. Methods All first-ever IS patients that occurred in Joinville from January 2005 to December 2006 were identified. The IS subtypes were classified by the TOAST criteria, and the patients were followed-up for one year after IS onset. Results The age-adjusted incidence per 100,000 inhabitants was 26 (17-39) for large-artery atherosclerosis (LAA), 17 (11-27) for cardioembolic (CE), 29 (20-41) for small vessel occlusion (SVO), 2 (0.6-7) for stroke of other determined etiology (OTH) and 30 (20-43) for stroke of undetermined etiology (UND). The 1-year mortality rate per 100,000 inhabitants was 5 (2-11) for LAA, 6 (3-13) for CE, 1 (0.1-6) for SVO, 0.2 (0-0.9) for OTH and 9 (4-17) for UND. Conclusion In the population of Joinville, the incidences of IS subtypes were similar to those found in other populations. These findings highlight the importance of better detection and control of atherosclerotic risk factors.
