<p>The Outcome of Unscreened Population in Colorectal Cancer: The Impact of Sex and Other Determinants on Cancer Stage</p>

Abstract: Background: In Saudi Arabia, there is no population-based colorectal cancer (CRC) screening, and more than two-thirds of patients are diagnosed with a late stage. We assessed the association between sex and distant metastasis CRC and hypothesize that females, younger age, non-married, and patients with colon cancer would present with metastatic tumors. Patients and Methods: The retrospective cohort study used data from the Ministry of National Guard Cancer Registry. Logistic regression was used to assess the a… Show more

“…In the multivariable analysis, metastatic patients had 3.86 higher odds of 30-day hospital readmission compared to those with localized disease, similar to previous findings [22,23]. Several studies from Saudi Arabia have shown that a sizable percentage of Saudi CRC patients were diagnosed at an advanced stage [2,9], a risk factor that has been shown to increase readmission in our population. Moreover, we found that patients discharged to locations other than post anesthesia care unit were more likely to be readmitted.…”

“…Whether the rate and predictors of CRC readmissions are the same in the Saudi population remains unknown. This is vital given the poor characteristics of CRC in the Saudi population such as late-stage at diagnosis and low survival [9].…”

“…A retrospective cohort study assessed data in Saudi Arabia, where there is no population-based CRC screening, to see if there is any association between sex and metastatic CRC adjusting for patient covariates. They found over just one thousand CRC patients, and found that female patients were 20% more likely than males to present with a metastatic tumor (RR = 1.20, 95%CI: 1.04-1.38)[ 57 ]. Their reasoning for this discrepancy was that women had less access to healthcare compared to men.…”

“…For instance, women with BMI ≥ 23 at age 18 had a 63% higher risk of early-onset CRC compared to women with a BMI of 18.5-20.9 (10). Third, there is currently no population-based screening for CRC in Saudi Arabia, leading to delayed CRC detection, increased late-stage diagnosis, and poor survival across all age groups (11)(12)(13).…”
