When cancer and infection collide: Mortality trends in pneumonia and lung cancer
Abstract
Background
Pneumonia-associated lung cancer is associated with elevated mortality rates due to the combined impact of two severe conditions. Investigating mortality trends provides valuable insights for clinical management and patient outcomes.
Methods
Using data from the CDCWONDER database,we calculated the crude and age-adjusted mortality rates (AAMRs) per 1,000,000 individuals (≥25 years) and used Joinpoint regression to determine annual and average annual percent change (AAPC) in the mortality trends.
Results
A total of 193,458 deaths were reported in patients with coexisting Pneumonia and Lung cancer in the US from 1999 to 2020 (APC: −2.45; 95% CI: −2.97 to −1.94). Overall the AAMR decreased from 58.9 to 29.7 per 1,000,000 between 1999 and 2018, then sharply increased to 31.1 in 2020. Men had consistently higher AAMR than women from 1999 (AAMR men: 91.2 vs women: 36.6) to 2020 (AAMR men: 40.6 vs women: 23.6). NH Black or African American had the highest overall AAMR (47.5), followed by NH White (41.6), NH American Indians or Alaska Natives (38.2), NH Asians or Pacific Islanders (31.6) and Hispanics or Latinos (20.1). AAMR also varied substantially by region (overall AAMR: Midwest: 40.8; South: 43.1; Northeast: 38.7;West: 35.9). Age group of 85+ had the highest overall CMR (187.6). Non-metropolitan areas had a higher AAMR (49.8) than metropolitan areas (38.2). Highest number of deaths took place in Medical Facility Inpatient (145,714).
