Title
NSAIDS and Esophageal and Stomach Cancer
Summary
This project will examine the relationship between NSAID use and the incidence of esophageal and stomach cancer.
Aims
1. To examine the relationship between NSAIDs measured at baseline and the incidence of esophageal cancer. We will control for potential confounders, including smoking and alcohol use.
2. To examine the relationship between NSAIDs measured at baseline and the incidence of stomach cancer. We will control for potential confounders.
3. We will explore examining NSAIDs use from the SQX and how that changes the analysis based on baseline data only.
