Abstract
Objective: To investigate the prevalence of death and sociodemographic factors of patients diagnosed with ovarian cancer in the city of Barbacena, Minas Gerais. Methods: Cross-sectional, descriptive-analytical observational study, which used data from medical records of patients with ovarian cancer treated at the oncology service of a hospital in the interior of Minas Gerais, in Campo das Vertentes. Results: A total of 125 medical records of women with ovarian cancer, with a mean age of 60.9 years, were analyzed. The death rate was 46.4%, being higher among patients aged 31 to 59 years (50.0%) than between 60 and 93 years (43.7%). There was a reduction in deaths between 2018 and 2021. Marital status, smoking, and family history were associated with a higher risk of death, but only family history remained significant in the multivariate analysis. Conclusion: The study demonstrated a high mortality rate (46.4%) for ovarian cancer, highlighting the severity of the disease and the need for early diagnosis. Factors analyzed such as marital status without a partner, smoking and family history of cancer without information showed an association with mortality, with the latter remaining highly significant.
