The Association between Patient's Age and Head and Neck Cancer Treatment Decision-A Population-Based Diagnoses-Related Group-Based Nationwide Study in Germany.

Investigations on the association between patient's age and head and neck cancer (HNC) treatment decision are sparse. Nationwide diagnoses-related group-based data of 1,226,357 cases hospitalized with primary HNC in Germany from 2005 to 2018 were included. Negative binomial regression was performed to study the development of the treatment rates over time.

Mortality during In-Hospital Treatment for Head and Neck Cancer in Germany: A Diagnosis-Related Group-Based Nationwide Analysis, 2005-2018.

Background: Data on in-hospital MR (IHMR) of head and neck cancer (HNC) are sparse.

Methods: IHMR was determined in Germany between 2005 and 2018 using nationwide population-based diagnosis-related group (DRG) data of 1,090,596 HNC.

Results: The overall average IHMR was 0.

Trends in Treatment of Head and Neck Cancer in Germany: A Diagnosis-Related-Groups-Based Nationwide Analysis, 2005-2018.

Advances in head and neck cancer (HNC) treatment might have changed treatment strategies. This study determined, with focus on gender disparity, whether treatment rates have changed for inpatients in Germany between 2005 and 2018. Nation-wide population-based diagnosis-related groups (DRG) data of virtually all HNC cases (1,226,856 procedures; 78% men) were evaluated.
