为了评估监测、流行病学和最终结果 (SEER) 肿瘤登记中的人口对美国总人口的普遍性，我们将 198 个 SEER 县的人口与 2882 个非 SEER 县的人口进行了社会人口学因素、医生可用性和相关医院资源可用性的比较。居住在 SEER 地区的人口更加富裕，失业率较低，并且比其他地区的人口更加城市化的美国人口（每个 p < 0.001）。 SEER 地区的全科医生和家庭医生较少，但非联邦医生、普通内科医生和癌症护理相关专家较多。 SEER地区获得联合医院认证委员会认可的医院、病床和配备CT扫描仪的医院较少，但拥有骨髓移植的医院较多。从SEER推广到全国时，应考虑SEER人口与美国其他地区的差异，特别是SEER较高的社会经济地位和更多的城市人口。 (C) 1997 爱思唯尔科学公司。
To assess the generalizability of the population included in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) tumor registries to the overall United States population, we compared the population of the 198 SEER counties to the population of the 2882 non-SEER counties regarding sociodemographic factors, physician availability, and availability of pertinent hospital resources.The population residing within the SEER areas is more affluent, has lower unemployment, and is substantially more urban than the remainder of the U.S. population (p < 0.001 for each). The SEER areas have fewer general and family practice physicians, but more total nonfederal physicians, general internists, and specialists relevant to cancer care. SEER areas have fewer Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals accredited hospitals, hospital beds, and hospitals with CT scanners, but more hospitals with bone marrow transplantation.The differences between the SEER population and the remainder of the United States, especially SEER's higher socioeconomic status and more urban population, should be considered when generalizing from SEER to the entire country.
