Research on the average age of onset of endometrial cancer based on data mining / 中国医师杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the average age at onset of endometrial cancer (EC) and the differences between domestic and international factors.Methods:Pubmed, Wanfang Database, VIP Information Resource System, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) were selected to extract clinical research data related to EC. Through data mining methods such as frequency analysis and cluster analysis, we compared the differences in the average age of onset of EC between domestic and foreign countries.Results:A total of 280 articles that met the inclusion criteria were selected, and frequency analysis found that the average age of onset of EC in the Chinese population was mostly concentrated under 57 years old, while in European and American countries, it was mainly concentrated above 57 years old. Through cluster analysis, it was found that the average age of onset in China was clustered in one category with most Asian countries, while European and American countries and Australian countries were clustered in another category. Through analysis of domestic and foreign articles, it was found that the average age of onset of EC did not show a significant upward or downward trend with years.Conclusions:There are differences in the average onset age of EC among different countries and regions. The onset age of EC in Asian populations is significantly earlier than that in European and American populations. The average onset age of EC in Chinese populations is 54 years old, and there is no trend towards a younger onset of EC.
