ABSTRACT Disparities in cancer care have been documented, however, less is known about the disparities in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). We reviewed the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database to evaluate disparities in receipt of radiotherapy (RT), and relative survival among patients diagnosed with stage I DLBCL between 1998 and 2008 on the basis of age, sex and ethnicity. African Americans and other races were significantly less likely to receive RT compared to Caucasians [adjusted odds ratio (OR) of 0.743 and 0.81, respectively]. Similarly, age 60+ years and males were less likely to receive radiotherapy compared to their counterparts (P<.001). Caucasian race, younger age and female sex were associated with better survival among patients receiving RT. This study showed that 38.2% of patients with stage I DLBCL received radiotherapy. Survival rates are significantly higher for patients who received RT.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 7. 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 29 June 2022.
All research outputs
#5,136,607
of 26,587,829 outputs
Outputs from Leukemia & Lymphoma
#374
of 4,146 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#46,405
of 246,983 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Leukemia & Lymphoma
#3
of 37 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 26,587,829 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 79th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,146 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.1. This one has done well, scoring higher than 89% 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 246,983 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 37 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 89% of its contemporaries.
