Determining the Prostate Cancer Road Map Hypothesis in 49 Countries: From Iron-Deficiency Anemia (IDA) to Death | Chapter 14 | New Frontiers in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 9
Background: Deaths due to prostate cancer (PCa) in 2016 had in common iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) in 2000, according to a follow-up analysis of the San Valentino (Italy) screening of cardiovascular illnesses. Aims: The study compared total mortality for PCa in terms of ASDRs (Age-Standardized-Death Rate x 100000 population) to ASDRs of IDA and diseases that may cause IDA from the year 2000 to ASDRs of IDA and diseases that may cause IDA. Methods: Researchers looked at the relationship between PCa, IDA, and 16 additional variables that could be linked to IDA in 49 nations. The ASDRs (Age-Standardized Death Rate x 100000 population) were used to extract data from WHO records (2018) in 49 countries for the years 2000, 2010, and 2016. WHO assessed the 49 selected countries (SC) to have "excellent completeness and quality of cause-of-death assignment" and "may be used for priority setting and policy evaluation." PCa, IDA, and 16 diseases: TB, gonorrhoea, syphilis, ...
