| Popis: | Objective: To determine the relationship between anemia and 5-year survival in cancer patients. Materials and methods: Observational, analytical, and retrospective cohort study. The sample population consisted of novel diagnosed cancer patients registered for hospital care with their respective follow up from 2014 until 2019. Time to death, presence of anemia, and other variables were evaluated. Survival was determined using Kaplan Meier curves and analyzed using the log-rank test. Hazard ratio and risk were determined in turn using the Cox regression model. Results: 72 patients were included in the study, 79.2% of which correspond to solid neoplasms. Anemia was present at the time of diagnosis in 45.8% of patients. Statistically significant differences were found on survival curves for anemia, severity graded anemia, age, and clinical stage. Anemia showed a significant relation with survival (HR: 3.03; CI: 95; p |
