    Estimating LOCP cancer mortality rates in small domains in Spain using its relationship with lung cancer
    (Nature Research, 2021) Retegui Goñi, Garazi; Etxeberria Andueza, Jaione; Ugarte Martínez, María Dolores; Estatistika, Informatika eta Matematika; Institute for Advanced Materials and Mathematics - INAMAT2; Estadística, Informática y Matemáticas; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa
    The distribution of lip, oral cavity, and pharynx (LOCP) cancer mortality rates in small domains (defined as the combination of province, age group, and gender) remains unknown in Spain. As many of the LOCP risk factors are preventable, specific prevention programmes could be implemented but this requires a clear specification of the target population. This paper provides an in-depth description of LOCP mortality rates by province, age group and gender, giving a complete overview of the disease. This study also presents a methodological challenge. As the number of LOCP cancer cases in small domains (province, age groups and gender) is scarce, univariate spatial models do not provide reliable results or are even impossible to fit. In view of the close link between LOCP and lung cancer, we consider analyzing them jointly by using shared component models. These models allow information-borrowing among diseases, ultimately providing the analysis of cancer sites with few cases at a very disaggregated level. Results show that males have higher mortality rates than females and these rates increase with age. Regions located in the north of Spain show the highest LOCP cancer mortality rates.

    Statistics and health research are closely related. Statistical methods and analysis are essential components in any research field and have acquired a relevant role in recent decades. In this context, the Universidad Pública de Navarra offered a summer course entitled ‘Statistics in Health Sciences. A look from research’ in order to divulge the role of statistics in health sciences research. To this end, health research professionals with extensive experience, with different backgrounds and areas of profesional interest (academic, health, epidemiological or statistical) were convened to present their vision of the topic. All participants agreed on the need of setting multidisciplinary teams, including health and statistician professionals, and greater synergy between the health and academic fields.The statistical profile is becoming more relevant role within health research teams, especially after the acquisition of complementary skills in epidemiology and public health.
