Abstract
Aim
Purpose of our research was to assess the survival rate amongst women who were suffering from cervical
cancer.
Methodology
A retrospective-cohort study was conducted amongst 200 patients from Jan 2021 to Jan 2022. A systematic
random sampling method was employed to select the study participants. Data were extracted from the patient
card, and through phone calls. The data was collected using the android version CS-Entry tool. Data was
analysed by SPSS version 25. Kaplan and Meier’s method was used to estimate survival functions and Coxproportional hazard regression analysis was carried out in order to identify the independent predictors of time to
death.
Results
The overall incidence of death was 31 per 100 person-years of follow up. The median (IQR) follow-up time of
the entire cohorts was 18.55 (8.96–49.65) months. The independent predictors for time to death included; age
older than 50 years [AHR: 1.4; 95% CI: 1.1–1.9], late stage of CC at diagnosis [AHR: 2.2; 95% CI: 1.7–2.9],
No CC treatment [AHR: 2.1; 95% CI: 1.5–3.1].
Conclusion
The death rate of CC patients was high. The significant predictors associated with shorten time to death of CC
patients were older age, advanced cancer stage at diagnosis.
