Cancer Incidence and Survival after Emergency Department Care in the U.S. Midwest: An Opportunity for Cancer Interception
This cohort analysis shows that cancer incidence over 6 years was lower among participants after an ED visit than among matched non-ED participants, whereas cancer-specific mortality was higher in the ED group (HRAdjusted = 1.76; 95% CI, 1.49-2.08; P = 3.62 × 10-11), suggesting the potential benefit of preventive interventions.
