Epidemiological Analysis

Introduction: Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide, including in Saudi Arabia. In the past few decades, the incidence and mortality has increased considerably among the Saudi population. The incidence of lung cancer has increased more than 3% in less than two decades. The current study focuses on analyzing the frequency of diagnosed lung cancer cases, age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR), and crude incidence rate (CIR) classified by year of diagnosis, age group, and different administrative regions of Saudi Arabia, based on the Saudi cancer registry (SCR) for the period of 10 years from 2006–2016. Methodology: The present study is a cohort study that focuses on the epidemiological analysis of lung cancer cases. The statistical analysis was performed by t-test, sex ratio, Kruskal–Wallis, and descriptive statistics through SPSS version 20.0. Results: A total of 4530 lung cancer cases were reported from January 2006 to December 2016. Among males, the ASIR range was reported as 1.2 to 12.3 per 100,000 cases in different regions of Saudi Arabia. Moreover, among females, the ASIR range was reported from 0.2 to 3.1 per 100,000 cases in different regions of Saudi Arabia. Additionally, the overall age-standardized incidence sex ratio was 3.2 per 100,000 cases. The incidence of lung cancer increased with age as 23% was reported in the age group of more than 75 years. Conclusion: The study concludes a rise in crude incidence rates and ASIR for lung cancer among Saudi population. Among males, the Eastern region had the highest overall ASIR followed by Tabuk region, and, among females, the highest overall ASIR was reported in the Eastern region followed by Riyadh and the Northern region.

Increasing Trend

Background: Liver cancer (LC) is among the most common and fatal cancers worldwide. A four-fold increasing trend is reported for LC age-standardized mortality rate (ASMR) in Iran within 1990–2015. In the present study, we aimed to report the incidence rate of LC during the 13-year establishment of the Golestan population-based cancer registry (GPCR). Methods: Age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR) per 100000 person-years was calculated using CanReg5 software. The Joint point regression analysis was used to assess the temporal trends in incidence rate of LC. Results: During the study period, GPCR registered 575 of LC cases, of which 373 (64.9%) were men and 297 (51.6%) lived in rural areas. The mean (SD) age of LC in men and women were 60.3 (17.2) and 58.0 (17.1), respectively. The ASIR of LC was significantly higher in men than women (4.7 vs. 2.6; P value<0.01) and a minimal increasing trend in LC incidence was observed in both sexes. The incidence rate of LC was significantly higher in rural areas compared to the urbans (3.91 vs. 3.40; P value=0.04). In the last 13 years, rural population had a significant increasing trend in ASIR of LC (average annual percent change [AAPC]=7.85, P value=0.005). Conclusion: LC was more prevalent in men among both urban and rural populations. The results showed a significant increasing trend in rural areas that requires Golestan health care system to take action in controlling the burden of LC in rural areas.

The Impact

The aim of this work was to study modern manifestations of seasonal brucellosis among the population of the Republic of Tajikistan. The materials and methods: of the study were the official statistics, as well as the results of previously performed studies on the risk assessment of the incidence in population. A retrospective epidemiological analysis of annual incidence rate for the period from 1997 to 2016 was conducted, depending on the most significant social and environmental risk factors. Results. The article shows the impact on the annual incidence rate of socio-economic transformations, including the privatization of collective livestock farms, accompanied by the massive movement of farm animals to private ownership, the loss of practice in animal breeding, and changes in environmental and climatic conditions. Against the background of the intensification of sheep breeding, there is a tendency in seasonality smoothing and shifting the maximum levels of population incidence of brucellosis to the spring season. Conclusion. The modern features of seasonal manifestation of brucellosis infection in the Republic of Tajikistan make it necessary to apply a differentiated approach to planning and conducting preventive measures in various areas of the country.
