Factors Influencing Morbidity, Mortality, and Survival in Lymphoma Patients: A Population-Based Study from Xiamen, China

Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to analyze the factors influencing morbidity, mortality and survival outcomes in patients diagnosed with lymphoma. Methods Data were collected from all newly diagnosed lymphoma cases in Xiamen City between 2011 and 2020. The data were evaluated to assess morbidity and mortality rates, with statistical analyses conducted using SAS 9.4 software. Results The results of this study indicated that the incidence rate of lymphoma is higher in males than in females and higher in urban areas than in rural ones (ASIR 6.44 per 100 000 versus 4.34 per 100 000), the lymphoma mortality rate is higher in males than in females (ASMR 3.57 per 100 000 versus 2.10 per 100 000) and greater in urban areas compared to rural areas(ASIR 3.14 per 100 000 versus 2.10 per 100 000). Six variables (age, suburb, marital status, education, lymphoma type, and diagnosis year) significantly impacted prognosis, as shown by the multivariate Cox analysis. Conclusion Developing lymphoma prevention and control programs for people of different genders, ages, living environments, and literacy levels can effectively reduce lymphoma morbidity and mortality and improve survival.
