10073 Background: In the US, there are approximately 235,200 ovarian cancer survivors today. Five-year survival for ovarian cancer has increased from 36% for women who were diagnosed in 1975-1977 to 46% for women diagnosed between 2005-2011. Long term follow-up studies among ovarian cancer survivors are uncommon and late effects have not been well characterized in a population-based cohort. Although genitourinary complications during treatment are well known, long term impacts need to be investigated. Methods: A total of 602 first primary invasive ovarian cancer cases diagnosed between 1996-2012 who survived for > 5 years were identified in the Utah Population Database and compared to a general population cohort of women. Genitourinary disease diagnoses were identified through ICD codes from hospital electronic medical records and statewide ambulatory surgery and inpatient data. Cox regression models were used to estimate hazard ratios for disease risks by time since cancer diagnosis with adjustments on matching factors, baseline BMI, baseline Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI), and race. Results: The overall risk of genitourinary diseases for ovarian cancer patients in comparison to the general population cohort was 1.51 (95%CI = 1.30-1.74) 5-10 years after cancer diagnosis. Approximately 54.6% of ovarian cancer survivors were diagnosed with a genitourinary disease 5-10 years after cancer diagnosis. The most common genitourinary diseases among the ovarian cancer survivors were urinary tract infections (10.1%), acute renal failure (5.5%), and chronic kidney disease (4.4%). The greatest risks were observed for hydronephrosis (HR = 10.65, 95%CI = 3.68-30.80), pelvic peritoneal adhesions (HR = 5.81, 95%CI = 1.11-30.39), cystitis and urethritis (HR = 2.67, 95%CI = 1.21-6.38), and acute renal failure (HR = 2.30, 95%CI = 1.36-3.88). Conclusions: Ovarian cancer survivors experience increased risks of various genitourinary diseases in the 5-10 year period following cancer diagnosis. Understanding the multimorbidity trajectory among ovarian cancer survivors is of vital importance to improve their clinical care after cancer diagnosis and allow for increased attention to these potential late effects.
