Morbidity, Mortality, and Reliability of Accounting of Patients of Different Age Groups with Liver Cancer in Russia

AbstractLiver cancer is a severe oncopathology. Mortality exceeds the number of primary patients in Russia on average. Every year in Russia, more than 8000 (8810 in 2018) cases of liver cancer and more than 10  000 (10 018 in 2018) deaths from this cause are registered. Standard methods of medical statistics and all registered primary cases of liver cancer in Russia were used. The material was developed in depth based on the database of the Population cancer register of the Northwestern Federal Distri ct of the Russian Federation. The data of the whole complex of available information in Russia as a whole was analyzed. A 20% increase was established in “rough” indicators and absolute numbers for the incidence of liver cancer in Russia over 18 years, and there was a 1.22% increase in standardi zed indicators. In women, there was a decrease in reported cases of liver cancer by 4.55%. The mortality rate of the Russian population in standardized indicators decreased by almost 3% over 18 years. The excess of the number of deaths over cases of liver cancer increases significantly in older age groups. The accounting-reliability index (ARI) is the ratio of absolute numbers or “rough” indicators of mortality to morbidity. For all malignant tumors, its value on average in Russia was 0.47, which almost coincides with the average European value. The ARI for men is 0.55, which is higher tha n the calculated indicator for women, 0.40. This is primarily due to the more favorable...
