Background. Generally, a younger age at diagnosis indicates a better prognosis, with younger women
having an average survival of at least 2 years longer than older women. It is estimated that in young women
the disease is diagnosed more quickly in the early stages when compared to older women.
Method. A cohort retrospective study. This research was conducted at the Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo
Makassar Hospital by taking the medical records of ovarian cancer patients from January 2014 to December
- The study subjects were 263 patients. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate survival rate
and Cox Regression to investigate the effect of variable.
Results. The survival of ovarian cancer patients within 30 months is 78%. Ovarian cancer patients who
survived to the 30th month based on age ? 60 years were 79% whereas > 60 years to 30th month none had
survived with an HR score of 2.74 (95% CI: 1.09-6.88 ). Multivariate analysis HR values were obtained for
age 2.65 (95% CI: 1,07-6,52) after being controlled by stage, and performance status.
Conclusion. Age affects the survival of ovarian cancer patients. Patients aged> 60 years are more at risk of
dying compared to patients aged ? 60 years
