Greater understanding of international cancer survival differences is needed. We aimed to identify predictors and consequences diagnosis through emergency presentation in different jurisdictions six high-income countries.
Objectives: To examine the relationship between hospital volume and patient outcomes for New South Wales hospitals performing oesophagectomy gastrectomy oesophagogastric cancer. Design, setting patients: A retrospective, population-based cohort study of NSW residents diagnosed with a new case invasive oesophageal or gastric cancer who underwent 2001 2008 in using linked de-identified data from Central Cancer Registry, National Death Index Admitted Patient Data Collection. higher-volume was...
In contrast to aetiological associations, there is little empirical evidence for generalising health service use associations from cohort studies. We compared the of study participants diagnosed with bowel or lung cancer source population people these cancers in New South Wales (NSW), Australia assess representativeness participants. Population-based registry data NSW residents aged ≥45 years at diagnosis were linked 45 and Up Study, a population-based (N~ 267,000). measured hospitalisation,...
Registries have key roles in cancer incidence, mortality and survival monitoring showing disparities across the population. Incidence began New South Wales 1972 other jurisdictions soon followed. Registry data are used to evaluate outcomes of preventive, screening, treatment support services. They shown decreases incidence following interventions been for workforce infrastructure planning. Crude markers optimal radiotherapy chemotherapy exist registry show shortfalls against these markers....
Aboriginal Australians have higher cancer mortality than non-Aboriginal Australians. Lower rates of treatment among people can contribute to this.
Objectives Informing cancer service delivery with timely and accurate data is essential to control activities health system monitoring. This study aimed assess the validity of ascertaining incident cases resection use for pancreatic periampullary cancers from linked administrative hospital data, compared a registry (the ‘gold standard’). Design, setting participants Analysis statutory population-based adults (aged ≥18 years) or case diagnosed during 2005–2009 admission these between 2005...
To examine differences in the proportions of people diagnosed with pancreatic cancer who underwent pancreatectomy, post-operative outcomes and 5-year survival different New South Wales administrative health regions residence.Retrospective analysis NSW data on incidence surgery, 2005-2013.The proportion newly patients were resected each region; 90-day mortality; one-year survival; post-diagnosis survival.14% during 2010-2013 (431 3064) an average 108 resections per year. After adjusting for...
Abstract Background Aboriginal people are known to be under-recorded in routinely collected datasets Australia. This study examined methods for enhancing the reporting of cancer incidence among using linked data methodologies. Methods Invasive cancers diagnosed New South Wales (NSW), Australia, 2010–2014 were identified from NSW Cancer Registry (NSWCR). The NSWCR Admitted Patient Data Collection, Emergency Department Collection and Australian Coordinating Register Cause Death Unit Record...
Abstract Background Translating outcomes achieved by clinical trials into routine care is crucial to improving of glioblastoma (GBM). This study examines the extent which an advance in treatment for GBM has translated meaningful, population-level survival benefits New South Wales (NSW), Australia. Methods retrospective cohort used linked population-based cancer registry, admitted patient, and mortality datasets. The (n = 2604) included NSW residents aged ≥18 years with a histologically...
Predictive modelling using pre-epidemic data have long been used to guide public health responses communicable disease outbreaks and other disruptions. In this study, cancer registry related available 2–3 months from diagnosis were predict changes in detection that otherwise would not identified until full processing was completed about 18–24 later. A key question whether these earlier could be incidence ahead of by the as a more timely responses. The setting Australian State New South...
Abstract Little has been published on the diagnostic and referral pathway for lung cancer in Australia. This study set out to quantify general practitioner (GP) specialist attendance imaging lead-up a diagnosis of non-small cell (NSCLC) identify common pathways New South Wales (NSW), We used linked health data participants 45 Up Study (a NSW population-based cohort study) diagnosed with NSCLC between 2006 2012. Our main outcome measures were GP attendances, X-rays computed tomography (CT)...
There is a growing interest in using person-level linked data to measure the use of systemic anticancer therapies assess treatment utilisation, disparities access and real-world population-level effectiveness.
To estimate the impact of smoking-attributable cancer mortality on trends in New South Wales (NSW), Australia, between 1972 and 2008.The study is a retrospective analysis NSW using Central Cancer Registry data.Smoking-attributable deaths were estimated smoking ratio method, which provides an indirect exposure to tobacco population lung mortality. Trends age-standardised rates by type number years life lost due estimated.In NSW, rate decreased males 26% females 19% 1989 2008. Nearly half...
Background Little is known about the delivery of surgical services and outcomes for women with ovarian cancer across New South Wales (NSW). Aim The study objective was to provide a descriptive analysis proportion who had surgery in NSW specialist gynaecological oncology hospitals compare attending non‐specialist NSW. Materials Methods This retrospective primary ovarian, fallopian tube or peritoneal from 2009 2012. Data were analysed Cancer Registry, Admitted Patient Collection Register...

AimsThe current study aimed to quantify validate these associations in multivariate analysis investigate surgery type, adjuvant radiotherapy immediate reconstruction (IBR) for invasive or ductal carcinoma situ (DCIS) by participation BreastScreen NSW screening.
