Smoking and renal function in people living with human immunodeficiency virus: a Danish nationwide cohort study.

abstract：BACKGROUND:A number of population-based studies have demonstrated lower cancer survival in elderly patients than among middle-aged or younger patients. Also, data quality in cancer registries has been shown to be associated with age. The objective of this study was to examine the recent age-specific cancer survival tre...
