Evaluating the Prognostic Factors and Survival Rates of Endometrial Cancer Patients in a Tertiary Referral Hospital in Northeast Thailand.
Article in Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention : APJCP, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesThis study aims to determine the 5-year and 10-year overall survival rates, mortality incidence, median survival time, and factors influencing the survival of endometrial cancer (EC) patients' post-diagnosis at the largest hospital in northeast Thailand. We particularly focus on the impact of access to health insurance schemes.
methodsWe conducted a retrospective analysis of data from EC patients admitted to Srinagarind Hospital between 2010 and 2019. Overall survival was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Multivariate Cox regression analysis identified factors associated with survival, with results expressed as adjusted hazard ratios (AHR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI).
resultsAmong the 673 patients, the 5-year overall survival rate stood at 76.43% (95% CI: 72.72-79.70), and the 10-year rate at 67.86% (95% CI: 62.98-72.25). Notably, advanced age (≥60 years), stage III and IV cancer, and non-endometrioid histopathology were found to significantly increase post-diagnosis mortality risk (AHR = 2.39, 3.13, 4.62; 95% CI: 1.03-5.53, 2.07-4.74, 2.66-8.04; p-value <0.05, <0.001, <0.001). Surprisingly, we observed no significant correlation between health insurance schemes and mortality risk, suggesting that different insurance programs did not significantly affect EC patient survival in this study.
conclusionhealth insurance schemes had no significant impact on endometrial cancer patient outcomes in Thailand, likely due to comprehensive coverage. Treatment modalities, notably surgery, showed no statistically significant differences, possibly due to early diagnosis. High-risk groups may benefit from adjuvant therapy. Early surgical intervention is crucial, with its association with disease stage emphasized. These findings inform cancer care decisions and healthcare policy development.<br />.
