Bayesian statistical models for understanding health-related outcomes for women screened for breast cancer
Description
This thesis aims to understand the effects of women's residential location on breast cancer outcomes associated with screening, with a focus on women living in Queensland, Australia. It examines the spatial survival inequalities in health outcomes among these women by means of Bayesian spatial models and presents the inequalities with thematic maps across the state. The thesis investigated the spatial inequalities of various patient demographic, clinical and geographic factors as well as the intended use of cancer treatment among women with screen-diagnosed breast cancer.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
