Survival Analysis of Ovarian Cancer Patients based on Age at The Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo Makassar Hospital in 2014-2018

Abstract

Background. Generally, a younger age at diagnosis indicates a better prognosis, with younger women having an average survival of at least 2 years longer than older women. It is estimated that in young women the disease is diagnosed more quickly in the early stages when compared to older women. Method. A cohort retrospective study. This research was conducted at the Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo Makassar Hospital by taking the medical records of ovarian cancer patients from January 2014 to December The study subjects were 263 patients. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate survival rate and Cox Regression to investigate the effect of variable. Results. The survival of ovarian cancer patients within 30 months is 78%. Ovarian cancer patients who survived to the 30th month based on age ? 60 years were 79% whereas > 60 years to 30th month none had survived with an HR score of 2.74 (95% CI: 1.09-6.88 ). Multivariate analysis HR values were obtained for age 2.65 (95% CI: 1,07-6,52) after being controlled by stage, and performance status. Conclusion. Age affects the survival of ovarian cancer patients. Patients aged> 60 years are more at risk of dying compared to patients aged ? 60 years
