Popis: BackgroundDespite improved overall survival outcomes, chemotherapy has brought concerns for heart disease–related death (HDRD) among cancer patients. The effect of chemotherapy on the risk of HDRD in anaplastic astrocytoma (AA) patients remains unclear.MethodsWe obtained 7,129 AA patients from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database from 1975 to 2016. Kaplan–Meier and Cox regression analysis were conducted to evaluate the effect of chemotherapy on the HDRD risk. Based on the competing risk model, we calculated the cumulative incidences of HDRD and non-HDRD and performed univariate and multivariate regression analyses. Then, a 1:1 propensity score matching (PSM) was used to improve the comparability between AA patients with and without chemotherapy. Landmark analysis at 216 and 314 months was employed to minimize immortal time bias.ResultsAA patients with chemotherapy were at a lower HDRD risk compared to those patients without chemotherapy (adjusted HR=0.782, 95%CI=0.736–0.83, P
