Methods: The study is based on data extracted from Delhi Population based cancer registry (PBCR).
Age-period-cohort (APC) using natural cubic splines, Power link function and joinpoint regression models
are applied to assess the past trend and future projection of cervix cancer in Delhi.
Result: Between 1990 to 2014 a total of 20505 females were diagnosed with cervical cancer and
contributed 14.6% of total female cancer during 25-year period. Median age of diagnose of cervix cancer
was 51.3 years. There was a significant decreasing trend of CC observed during 25-period in Delhi with
an annual percentage change of -2.98% using Join point analysis and representing a 55% decrease
from 1990 to 2014. The percentage of cervical cancer to total female cancer decrease significantly from
21.86% in 1990 to 9.63% in 2014. The rate of decrease was greater among the younger women <50
as compared to >=50 years. The Joinpoint and APC using Splines and power link methods predicted a
decrease of 30.3%,19.9%, 23.0% in age-adjusted rate per 100,000 of population in 2030 from 2014.

Conclusion: Cervix cancer has down trend during 25-year but still it is second most common cancer
among the women in Delhi as well as In India. CC is preventable cancer and load of these cancer can be
controlled with spreading the adequate awareness and increasing the screening program.

Abstract

Mortality is an important health indicator to access the quality of life and it is also considered as a
sensitive indicator of the health status of women of a nation. Reducing maternal mortality is one of the
key components in the development of a country. The present study aims to investigate the relationship
between the maternal’s educational levels and maternal deaths in Sikkim, a northeast state of India.
The study was a descriptive study. Secondary data published by the Government of Sikkim were used
for the present study. A non – paramatric test Kendall’s tau (τ) correlation showed significant association
between those mothers who were educated below matric and maternal deaths. There were no significant
association between those mothers who were educated above matric and maternal mortality. The finding
indicates that by giving importance to the secondary level of the girls in the education system will help to
reduce the maternal mortality in the state.
