[Purpose]To analyze the death causes of malignant tumor among residents in Qinghai Province from 2017 to 2021.[Methods]The death cause surveillance data and resident popula-tion data in Qinghai Province from 2017 to 2021 were collected.The crude mortality rate(CMR),age-standardized mortality rate by Chinese standard population(ASMRC),composition of death,rank of cause of death were analyzed by Excel 2021 and SPSS 21.0 software.[Results]From 2017 to 2021,the CMR of all cancers of residents in Qinghai Province was 89.64/105,the ASMRC was 103.17/105.The cancer mortality rate of males was higher than that of females.The mortality rate of stomach cancer ranked the first,and followed by liver cancer,lung cancer,esophageal cancer and colorectal cancer.The top 10 cancer deaths accounted for 83.73％of all cancer deaths.Mortality increased with age,there were significant differences in cancer mortality rate among age groups.The cancer mortality rate was highest in pastoral areas,followed by rural areas and urban areas.The ranking of cancer deaths varied in different areas.Stomach cancer was the leading cause of death in rural and pastoral areas,while lung cancer was the leading cause in ur-ban areas.[Conclusion]The mortality rates of stomach,liver and lung cancers are high in Qinghai Province.The targeted and comprehensive prevention and control strategies should be taken ac-cording to the epidemic characteristics of malignant tumors in different regions and populations.

Background Occupational pneumoconiosis is the most common occupational disease in Qinghai Province and China. From the perspective of public health, it is important to assess the disease burden using disability-adjusted life years (DALY) and economic losses. Objective To evaluate the disease burden of occupational pneumoconiosis in Qinghai Province, and to provide a basis for the formulation and implementation of relevant prevention and control strategies. Methods Based on the registered data, a database of occupational pneumoconiosis cases confirmed and reported in Qinghai Province was established. The survival status and death dateof occupational pneumoconiosis patients from 2015 to 2019 were confirmed by on-site visit, telephone survey, matching search of Death Information Registration and Management System, and consulting other departments. The life loss due to occupational pneumoconiosis from 2015 to 2019 was assessed using DALY as an indicator and data from the Global Burden of Disease 2019 (GBD 2019) study. Inpatients with officially diagnosed occupational pneumoconiosis from a hospital in Qinghai Province in 2019 were selected as study subjects, the direct economic loss was evaluated with hospitalization expenses, and the indirect economic loss due to occupational pneumoconiosis in Qinghai Province in 2019 was calculated by human capital approach. Results From 2015 to 2019, 505 new cases of occupational pneumoconiosis were reported in Qinghai Province, and there were 348 death cases. Prevalent cases and years lost due to disability (YLD) due to occupational pneumoconiosis were increased, while DALY and years of life lost (YLL) due to occupational pneumoconiosis decreased firstly and then increased. In each year, there were 87% or more of the DALY, YLL, or YLD attributed to silicosis and coal workers' pneumoconiosis. In 2019, the occupational pneumoconiosis-associated DALY was 2173.55 person years. The total hospitalization expense incurred by 42 inpatients with occupational pneumoconiosis was 1256345.19 yuan. The total hospitalization expense and average daily cost of the inpatients with stageⅡand Ⅲ pneumoconiosis were higher than that of the inpatients with stageⅠ (P<0.05), and the hospitalization expense was higher in the ≥60 years age group than in the <60 years age group (P<0.05). In 2019, the indirect economic burden incurred by occupational pneumoconiosis in Qinghai Province was 44108581.65 yuan, and accounted for 0.15‰ of the gross domestic product (GDP) of the province. Conclusion The disease burden associated with occupational pneumoconiosis in Qinghai Province are outstanding. Silicosis and coal workers' pneumoconiosis are the key contributors. Targeted intervention measures including dust hazard control, enterprise management, follow-up and rehabilitation management of pneumoconiosis should be taken to prevent and control the occurrence and progression of pneumoconiosis and alleviate disease burden of pneumoconiosis.
