Lower OM and CSM was observed in patients who underwent any type of treatment. [...] All intervention strategies were associated with improved survival outcomes. Earlier diagnosis may improve outcomes, as available interventions are associated with lower mortality when feasible at diagnosis. The study paves the way for further prospective and retrospective studies to focus on the identification of patient subsets that may benefit from early mesothelioma screening. [...] Outcomes Overall mortality due to any cause at the end of the study was categorized as “yes”, and patients who survived were classified as “no”. [...] Cancer-specific mortality, referring to patients who died of MPM at the end of the study, was categorized as “yes”, and patients dying of other causes were classified as “no”. 2.3.3. [...] The majority of patients were married (66.4%) and had distant metastasis at the time of diagnosis (71.6%). [...] Non-Hispanic Whites constituted the majority (78.13%), with a prevalent annual income of $75,000þ (38.03%) and residence in metropolitan areas (60.02%). [...] Feasible surgical resection of the primary tumor was observed in up JOURNAL OF COMMUNITY HOSPITAL INTERNAL MEDICINE PERSPECTIVES 2024;14:14e20 15 RESEARCH ARTICLEto a third of patients (26.36%), and approximately half underwent chemotherapy (52.25%). [...] Crude analysis of factors associated with all-cause mortality and MPM related mortality among US patients between 2010 and 2017. [...] However, patients with pleural effusion and negative cytology exhibited a higher CSM in various cancers23,24 and no effect on OM, indicating complications of MPM, rather than the disease itself as a driving factor.
