abstract = {While nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have
been shown to improve survival in certain cancers, data in
patients with endometrial cancer (EC) is conflicting. This
study investigated use of aspirin and nonaspirin NSAIDs
(NA-NSAIDs) and EC-specific-and all-cause death. This
nationwide cohort study linked data from the Cancer Registry
of Norway with The Norwegian Prescription database. Patients
diagnosed with EC from 2004 to 2018 were included.
Post-diagnosis exposure to aspirin and NA-NSAIDs was defined
as ≥3 consecutive prescriptions ≥30 days after EC
diagnosis, with pre-diagnosis use as ≥2 filled
prescriptions <6 months prior to diagnosis. Follow-up
started 10 months after diagnosis. Hazard ratios for the
risk of death were calculated with multivariable
Cox-regression models. Our study population included 7751
individuals with EC, 685 $(9\%)$ were aspirin users and 620
$(8\%)$ were NA-NSAIDs users. The median follow-up time was
5.0 years, with 1518 $(20\%)$ deaths observed (n = 728
$(9\%)$ EC-specific). In multivariable analysis, aspirin use
was significantly associated with a $19\%$ higher risk of
all-cause death compared to non-users (HR = 1.19, $95\%$ CI
[1.01-1.41]). The association was stronger among combined
pre- and postdiagnosis use (HR = 1.35 [1.12-1.64]).
NA-NSAIDs use increased risk of cancer-related death (HR =
1.25 [0.99-1.58]) and there was a dose-response association
with significantly higher risk of cancer-specific death with
higher cumulative doses (HR = 1.33 [1.02-1.75]). We found a
higher risk of cancer-specific-and all-cause death among
patients that used aspirin and NA-NSAIDs after a diagnosis
of EC. Further studies on the biological mechanisms
underlying these associations are needed.},
