Abstract
BACKGROUND: Previous reports have shown that lung cancer incidence and mortality were increasing both in male and female; however, the temporal trends in lung cancer eliminated life expectancy and potential years of life lost (PYLL) are very rare. Thus, we examine the temporal trends in lung cancer eliminated life expectancy and PYLL in Kunshan city, Jiangsu province, 1981-2015. METHODS: Data were collected from vital registry of Kunshan city. Lung cancer eliminated life expectancy and the PYLL were calculated by sex. The Chinese population in 2000 was used to calculate age-standardized PYLL. Estimate annual percentage changes (eAPC) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were used to examine the temporal trendss. RESULTS: During 1981 to 2015, substantially increasing trend was observed for the lung cancer eliminated life expectancy, which increased by 0.34 years in 1981 to 0.86 in 2015 (APC=3.2%, 95%CI: 2.8%-3.6%), and a significant increasing trend was found for male (APC=3.0%, 95%CI: 2.5%-3.5%) and female (APC=3.6%, 95%CI: 3.0%-4.2%). Moreover, the age-standardized PYLL among both sex (APC=-0.1%, 95%CI: -0.6%-0.4%) and male (APC=-0.5%, 95%CI: -1.1%-0.1%) were stable, but increasing trend was observed in females (APC=1.5%, 95%CI: 0.3%-2.7%). CONCLUSIONS: Although there was no significant change over the past 3 decades regarding the effect of premature deaths due to lung cancer, a substantial increasing trend was observed in lung cancer eliminated life expectancy, which suggested that targeted lung cancer prevention and control measures are urgently need.
