The regional differences in mortality attributable to tobacco in the czech republic in 2017

Original language description

BACKGROUND: Smoking, as the leading cause of premature death, has many negative consequences and represents an economic burden across the globe. There are several diagnoses caused wholly or partially by tobacco use. The groups of diagnoses that are mainly related to tobacco use are neoplasms and diseases of the circulatory and respiratory system. AIMS: This study aims to examine whether the probability of dying because of neoplasms and circulatory diseases is higher in the case of tobacco smokers compared to non-smokers. Supposing that there are economic differences between the regions of the Czech Republic, the differences between regions in terms of the number of deaths attributable to selected groups of diagnoses was examined. The differences between groups of regions based on the number of deaths related to neoplasms and diseases of the circulatory system were analysed. METHODS: To compare the probability of dying, the relative risks in the Czech Republic from 1994 to 2017 were calculated. Cluster analysis was conducted to compare the regions of the Czech Republic with regard to the number of deaths attributable to smoking. The comparisons are made within two disease categories. RESULTS: The results show the differences in regional mortality attributable to tobacco use in the Czech Republic. The probability of dying of a disease diagnosed as a smoking-related neoplasm is higher in comparison to that of death from a disease diagnosed as a smokingrelated disease of the circulatory system. The level of deaths as a result of smoking differs between the genders. CONCLUSION: Our findings demonstrate a relationship between smoking as a death risk factor and neoplasms and diseases of the circulatory system. The specificity of diagnoses might be the reason for the greater disparities in the mortality connected to neoplasms. (C) 2019, Sdruzeni SCAN. All rights reserved.
