Spatial and Temporal Distribution of Pediatric Cancers in Southern Ghana: A Retrospective Observational Study.

Compared to the reference category, the incidence of Leukemia (IRR: 4.87, p : < 0.001, CI: 3.31, 7.17), Burkitts Lymphoma (IRR: 2.26, p : < 0.001, CI: 1.48, 3.45), Nephroblastoma (IRR: 1.29, p : < 0.001, CI: 0.80, 2.06), Other Non‐Hodgkins Lymphoma (IRR: 2.61, p : < 0.001, CI: 1.72, 3.95), and Retinoblastoma (IRR: 2.39, p : < 0.001, CI: 1.57, 3.63) all have highly significant positive estimates and thus are more common compared to the other cancer types such as Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma (IRR: 0.29, p : 0.091, CI: 0.06, 1.22) and Hodgkins Lymphoma (IRR: 0.58, p : 0.08, CI: 0.31, 1.07).

The result of the Poisson regression indicates a positive upward trend over time (IRR: 1.08, p : < 0.001, CI: 1.02, 1.14), suggesting an increasing trend in pediatric cancer cases from 2018 to 2022.
