To evaluate mesothelioma death trends in Spain and to predict the number of future cases of mesothelioma.
After descriptive analysis of mesothelioma mortality data, an age-period-cohort model was applied to estimate future mesothelioma deaths.
From 1977 to 2001, 1928 men over 35 years of age died of mesothelioma in Spain. Projections indicate that 1321 men are expected to die from mesothelioma between 2007 and 2016.
It is expected that mesothelioma deaths will increase at least until 2016. Available data do not allow prediction of the year when mortality will start to decrease.
评估西班牙间皮瘤的死亡趋势,并预测未来间皮瘤病例数。
在对间皮瘤死亡率数据进行描述性分析后,应用年龄-时期-队列模型来估计未来间皮瘤死亡人数。
1977年至2001年期间,西班牙35岁以上的男性中有1928人死于间皮瘤。预测表明,2007年至2016年期间预计有1321名男性将死于间皮瘤。
预计间皮瘤死亡人数至少在2016年前会增加。现有数据无法预测死亡率开始下降的年份。
