“…Fourth, the diagnoses of all comorbid conditions were based on ICD-9-CM or ICD-10-CM codes in this study. Nevertheless, because the Taiwan Cancer Registry Administration periodically audits files and penalizes hospitals with the evidence of abnormal charges or improper practices identified through medical chart reviews and patient interviews, the Taiwan Cancer Registry long-form data most likely have a high degree of accuracy [ 43 ]. Therefore, given the magnitude and statistical significance of the present results, our conclusions are unlikely to be affected by the aforementioned limitations.…”

Purpose: To investigate the effects of preexisting sleep disorders on the oncologic outcomes of patients receiving standard treatments for oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Methods: The patients recruited from the Taiwan Cancer Registry Database who had received surgery for stage I–IVB OSCC. The Cox proportional hazards model was used to analyze all-cause mortality, locoregional recurrence (LRR), and distant metastasis (DM). The patients were categorized into those with and without sleep disorders (Groups 1 and 2, respectively) through propensity score matching. Results: In the multivariate Cox regression analysis, the adjusted hazard ratios for all-cause mortality, LRR, and DM for Group 1 compared with Group 2 were 1.19 (95% confidence interval (CI): 1.04–1.36; p = 0.011), 1.47 (95% CI: 1.23–1.75; p < 0.001), and 1.15 (95% CI: 1.02–1.44; p = 0.025), respectively. Conclusion: OSCC patients with sleep disorders demonstrated poorer oncologic outcomes than did those without sleep disorders. Therefore, before OSCC surgery, patients with OSCC should be screened for preexisting sleep disorders because they may serve as predictors for survival in these patients. Future studies investigating the survival benefits of pharmacological and behavioral treatments for sleep problems in patients with OSCC are warranted.

“…The Taiwan Cancer Registry is a national population-based cancer registry system with comprehensive, high-quality data. 29 , 30 , 31 Because all deaths must be registered by law within 1 month of occurrence with the Department of Statistics of the Ministry of Health and Welfare, the computerized death registry database in Taiwan is complete and accurate. National population numbers were derived from the Department of Statistics of the Ministry of the Interior.…”

Aim Risk of treatment‐related life‐threatening toxicity is high in childhood acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), and access to intensive care units (ICU) is crucial. We explored the ICU admission rate and outcome after intensive care in childhood AML in Sweden. Methods Patients diagnosed between 2008 and 2016 were identified from the Swedish Childhood Cancer Registry (SCCR), a national quality registry. Data from SCCR was cross‐referenced with clinical questionnaire data from paediatric oncology centers and the Swedish Intensive Care Registry (SIR), another national quality registry. Results According to combined data, 46% of the children (58/126) were admitted to ICU, 17% (21/126) within 1 month from diagnosis. Overall, ICU mortality per admission was 12% and 6% during first‐line treatment. There was a discrepancy between admission rate from the clinical questionnaires and SCCR (29%; 36/126 children) and SIR (44%; 55/126) All deaths during first‐line treatment occurred at or after ICU care. Conclusion Although admission rate under AML treatment was high, the treatment‐related mortality under first‐line treatment was low. No child died under first‐line treatment without admission to ICU, suggesting good availability. The discrepancy between the two registries, SCCR and SIR, highlights the need for future validation of registry data.
