| Abstract |
This analysis describes the impact of hysterectomy on incidence rates and trends in endometrioid endometrial cancer in the United States among women of reproductive age. Hysterectomy prevalence for states containing Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) registry was estimated using data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) between 1992 and 2010. The population was adjusted for age, race, and calendar year strata. Age-adjusted incidence rates and trends of endometrial cancer among women age 20-49 corrected for hysterectomy were estimated. Hysterectomy prevalence varied by age, race, and ethnicity. Increasing incidence trends were observed, and were attenuated after correcting for hysterectomy. Among all women, the incidence was increasing 1.6% annually (95% CI 0.9, 2.3) and this increase was no longer significant after correction for hysterectomy (+ 0.7; 95% CI - 0.1, 1.5). Stage at diagnosis was similar with and without correction for hysterectomy. The largest increase in incidence over time was among Hispanic women; even after correction for hysterectomy, incidence was increasing (1.8%; 95% CI 0.2, 3.4) annually. Overall, endometrioid endometrial cancer incidence rates in the US remain stable among women of reproductive age. Routine reporting of endometrial cancer incidence does not accurately measure incidence among racial and ethnic minorities. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 10. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 23 May 2019.
All research outputs
#3,139,802
of 23,854,458 outputs
Outputs from Cancer Causes & Control
#355
of 2,187 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#64,824
of 334,146 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Cancer Causes & Control
#3
of 13 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,854,458 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 86th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,187 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 10.2. This one has done well, scoring higher than 82% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 334,146 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 80% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 13 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 76% of its contemporaries.
