A Population-Based Study of Sex Differences in Cardiovascular Disease Mortality Among Adults with Ocular Cancer in the United States, 2000-2021.

We evaluated the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases mortality after the diagnosis of ocular cancer in the United States.

We used competing risk models to estimate hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI).

About 55% of adults were male, with uveal melanoma being the most common ocular cancer (72.1%).

In models adjusted for sociodemographic and clinico-pathophysiological factors, male adults had elevated risk for cardiovascular diseases mortality (HR: 1.54, 95%CI: 1.31-1.81).
