Overview

Retrospective analysis assesses mortality trends in esophageal cancer and respiratory failure, revealing notable disparities among older adults.

Key Points

  • This analysis aims to characterize trends in mortality due to esophageal cancer and respiratory failure among U.S. adults over a 25-year period, focusing on disparities.
  • Retrospective analysis of US deaths associated with esophageal cancer and respiratory failure from 1999 to 2024.
  • Data sourced from the CDC WONDER database, with age-adjusted mortality rates calculated per 1 million population.
  • Joinpoint regression used to estimate average annual percent changes with 95% confidence intervals.
  • Overall mortality rates increased from 8.2 to 13.7 per million, with an average annual percent change of 2.18 (95% CI: 1.70-2.67).
  • Males exhibited higher mortality rates (AAPC: 2.23; 95% CI: 1.71-2.75).
  • Non-Hispanic White individuals faced the steepest increase in mortality rates (AAPC: 2.72; 95% CI: 2.19-3.25), especially in Midwestern rural regions.
