To compare the rates of death from cervical cancer among native Indian women and non-native women in British Columbia from 1953 to 1984.
Retrospective analysis of data retrieved from the British Columbia Division of Vital Statistics.
Age-standardized death rate and relative rate.
The rate of death from cervical cancer was significantly higher among the native women than among the non-native women throughout the study period. No deaths from cervical cancer were recorded in women under 20 years of age. Among those 20 to 64 the relative rate increased from 3.83 in 1953-62 to 6.53 in 1973-84; among those 65 or more it decreased slightly. For the entire study period the relative rate for women 20 to 64 years old was 5.95 and for those 65 or older 2.98.
The rate of death from cervical cancer among native women in British Columbia is unacceptably high, probably because the provincial screening program does not reach as many native women as it does non-native women.
比较1953年至1984年不列颠哥伦比亚省印度裔本土女性和非本土女性的宫颈癌死亡率。
对从不列颠哥伦比亚省生命统计部门检索到的数据进行回顾性分析。
年龄标准化死亡率和相对率。
在整个研究期间,本土女性的宫颈癌死亡率显著高于非本土女性。20岁以下女性未记录到宫颈癌死亡病例。在20至64岁人群中,相对率从1953 - 1962年的3.83增至1973 - 1984年的6.53;在65岁及以上人群中,相对率略有下降。在整个研究期间,20至64岁女性的相对率为5.95,65岁及以上女性为2.98。
不列颠哥伦比亚省本土女性的宫颈癌死亡率高得令人无法接受,可能是因为该省的筛查项目覆盖的本土女性不如非本土女性多。
