Objective: China's diverse economic landscape across its regions may contribute to disparities in cancer-related financial toxicity (FT), but empirical evidence is lacking. This study examined regional disparities in cancer-related FT across economically diverse provinces in China.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among adult patients with cancer from six tertiary and six secondary hospitals across three Chinese provinces with varying economic statuses (high-, middle-, and low-income).
Background: Factors influencing health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and financial toxicity (FT) have been found to overlap, and the robust correlation between HRQoL and FT raises the possibility that FT mediates the relationships between the shared risk factors and HRQoL. However, empirical evidence supporting this hypothesis is limited.
Objective: This study aimed to explore whether FT mediates the relationships between HRQoL and its risk factors.
Objective: We assessed financial toxicity (FT) among Chinese patients with cancer and investigated associated risk factors guided by a multilevel conceptual framework.
Methods: Applying multistage stratified sampling, we selected six tertiary and six secondary hospitals across three economically diverse provinces in China. From February to October 2022, 1208 patients with cancer participated.
