Résumé
Objective@#To investigate the mortality trends and life loss due to pancreatic cancer death among residents in Suzhou City from 2006 to 2020, so as to provide insights into the management of pancreatic cancer.@*Methods @#The data pertaining to the death of pancreatic cancer in Suzhou City from 2006 to 2020 were collected from the Jiangsu provincial mortality surveillance system. The crude mortality, standardized mortality, years of potential life lost ( YPL L), rate of YPLL ( YPLLR ), average years of life lost ( AYLL ) and annual percent change (APC) were calculated to analyze the changing trend in mortality and life loss due to pancreatic cancer.@*Results@#The crude mortality of pancreatic cancer was 13.57/105 in Suzhou City from 2006 to 2020, appearing a tendency towards a rise ( P<0.05) with APC of 2.95%. The standardized mortality of pancreatic cancer was 6.39/105. The crude mortality of pancreatic cancer was 15.14/105 in men and 12.06/105 in women, which both showed a tendency towards a rise ( P<0.05 ) with APC of 3.18% and 2.73%. The crude mortality of pancreatic cancer appeared a tendency towards a decline in residents at ages of 30 to 45 years and 45 to 60 years ( P<0.05 ), with APC of -4.93% and -1.63%, and appeared a tendency towards a rise in residents at ages of 60 years and greater ( P<0.05 ), with APC of 0.53%. The YPLL and YPLLR of pancreatic cancer were 55 340 person-years and 0.06% in Suzhou City from 2006 to 2020, while the AYLL of pancreatic cancer was 9.81 years per person, which appeared a tendency towards a decline ( P<0.05 ), with APC of -2.35%.@*Conclusions@#The crude mortality of pancreatic cancer appeared a tendency towards a rise in Suzhou City from 2006 to 2020, and the AYLL showed a tendency towards a decline. Health education and screening of pancreatic cancer should be reinforced among men and the elderly.
