dc.description.abstract | Introduction: Fragmented cancer care, defined as receipt of care from multiple hospitals, has been shown to be associated with poor patient outcomes and high expense. However, evidence regarding the effects of hospital choice by patients with cancer on overall survival are lacking. Thus, we investigated the relationship between patterns of fragmented care and five-year mortality in patients with gastric cancer.Materials and Methods: Using the Korean National Health Insurance senior cohort of adults aged >= 60 years, we identified patients with gastric cancer who underwent gastrectomy during 2007-2014. We examined the distribution of the study population by five-year mortality, and used Kaplan-Meier survival curves/log-rank test and Cox proportional hazard model to compare five-year mortality with fragmented cancer care.Results: Among the participants, 19.5% died within five years. There were more deaths among patients who received fragmented care, especially those who transferred to smaller hospitals (46.6%) than to larger ones (40.0%). The likelihood of five-year mortality was higher in patients who received fragmented cancer care upon moving from large to small hospitals than those who did not transfer hospitals (hazard ratio, 1.28; 95% confidence interval, 1.10-1.48, P = .001). Moreover, mortality was higher among patients treated in large hospitals or in the capital area for initial treatment, and this association was greater for patients from rural areas.Discussion: Fragmentation of cancer care was associated with reduced survival, and the risk of mortality was higher among patients who moved from large to small hospitals. | - |
