OBJECTIVE: Neighborhood-level social determinants of health (N-SDoH) impact cancer survival. However, the relationship between N-SDoH and epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) survival remains understudied. METHODS: We used data on all Pennsylvania residents diagnosed with EOC from 2000 to 2023 throughout the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center to assess the impact of N-SDoH on survival. We used the Social Vulnerability Index (SVI) to characterize four N-SDoH themes and overall N-SDoH vulnerability based on each case's census tract at diagnosis. High-SVI overall and by N-SDoH theme was defined as being in the 75th percentile in Pennsylvania for that metric. Cox proportional hazard models assessed the association between high-SVI and overall mortality. RESULTS: Among 4970 EOC cases, high-SVI overall was associated with later stage at diagnosis, greater residual disease, and a lower likelihood of receiving standard-of-care platinum-based therapy. High-SVI was also associated with a 13 % increased mortality hazard (adjusted-HR:1.13 95 %CI:1.02-1.25). The Household Characteristics, Racial and Ethnic Minority Status, and Housing Type and Transportation themes were also associated with increased mortality hazards (adjusted-HR[95 %CI]: 1.10[1.01-1.21], 1.23[1.08-1.39], 1.09[1.00-1.18], respectively). The Socioeconomic Status theme was associated with an increased mortality hazard of borderline significance (adjusted-HR 1.10, 95 %CI:0.99-1.23). The overall high-SVI association appeared similar when stratifying by race, although the number of Black cases was small (n = 168). CONCLUSION: Higher neighborhood social vulnerability is associated with worse EOC survival. Replicating study findings in more diverse populations can help illuminate the neighborhood factors most influencing survival and support the design and testing of programs to reduce poor EOC outcome, especially within marginalized communities.
目的:社区层面的健康社会决定因素(N-SDoH)会影响癌症生存率。然而,N-SDoH与上皮性卵巢癌(EOC)生存率之间的关系仍未得到充分研究。 方法:我们利用了匹兹堡大学医学中心2000年至2023年期间所有宾夕法尼亚州被诊断为EOC的居民的数据,以评估N-SDoH对生存率的影响。我们使用社会脆弱性指数(SVI)来描述四个N-SDoH主题以及基于每个病例诊断时所在普查区的整体N-SDoH脆弱性。总体高SVI以及按N-SDoH主题划分的高SVI被定义为在宾夕法尼亚州该指标处于第75百分位。Cox比例风险模型评估了高SVI与总体死亡率之间的关联。 结果:在4970例EOC病例中,总体高SVI与诊断时分期较晚、残留疾病较多以及接受标准护理铂类治疗的可能性较低相关。高SVI还与死亡风险增加13%相关(调整后风险比:1.13,95%置信区间:1.02-1.25)。家庭特征、种族和族裔少数群体地位以及住房类型和交通主题也与死亡风险增加相关(调整后风险比[95%置信区间]分别为:1.10[1.01-1.21]、1.23[1.08-1.39]、1.09[1.00-1.18])。社会经济地位主题与死亡风险增加具有临界显著性相关(调整后风险比1.10,95%置信区间:0.99-1.23)。按种族分层时,总体高SVI关联似乎相似,尽管黑人病例数量较少(n = 168)。 结论:社区社会脆弱性较高与EOC生存率较差相关。在更多样化的人群中重复研究结果有助于阐明最影响生存率的社区因素,并支持设计和测试旨在减少EOC不良结局的项目,尤其是在边缘化社区。
