The survival of our patients diagnosed with lung cancer in 2013

Abstract

Background: Lung cancer is an important health prob- lem. To investigate the survival of our patients diagnosed in our hospital with lung cancer and the situations that effect. Methods: Using the data processing and archive system of our hospital, patients were examined who had oper- ated with C34 code in 2013. The rates of survival were calculated using Kaplan-Meier Method and compared with Long-rank method. The influence of age on survival was analyzed with Cox’s proportional hazards regression model. For multivariate analysis Cox’s proportional hazards regression model also used. The level of P<0.05 accepted as significant.
