“…In contrast, it has been found that patients with Turkish origin have a lower participation in prevention and screening programs. 5,7,11 In several studies, area-level sociodemographic conditions have been found to be associated with diabetes healthcare and outcomes.…”

“…Second, a wellvalidated name-based algorithm was used. [11][12][13] Family and first names of the patients were compared with a large data set of Turkish names. The algorithm has been proven to identify Turkish origin with a sensitivity and specificity of > 0.975, respectively.…”

“…The algorithm has been proven to identify Turkish origin with a sensitivity and specificity of > 0.975, respectively. [11][12][13] Patients with origin from other countries were excluded. Age, sex, diabetes duration, body mass index SD score (BMI-SDS), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), number of outpatient visits in 2009, and the daily number of blood glucose measurements were taken from the DPV documentation (mean of values when multiple visits in 2009).…”

Aim: This study investigated insulin pump therapy in pediatric patients with type 1 diabetes and Turkish origin compared with those without migration background in Germany. Subjects and Methods: Using a nationwide documentation program, we estimated the prevalence of insulin pump therapy in patients < 20 years of age with Turkish origin and those without migration background. Logistic regression was used to adjust for age, sex, diabetes duration, body mass index SD score (BMI-SDS), glycated hemoglobin, number of outpatient visits, number of daily blood glucose self-measurements, and area-based socioeconomic conditions. Results: In 1,695 pediatric type 1 diabetes patients with Turkish background and 19,802 patients without migration background (respectively: 51.2% and 53.0% boys; mean age, 12.4 -4.1 and 12.6 -4.2 years; mean diabetes duration, 4.7 -3.9 and 5.3 -4.0 years), fully adjusted prevalences of insulin pump therapy were 18.5% and 30.9%, respectively (odds ratio 0.51, 95% confidence interval 0.43-0.60, P < 0.001). Age, sex, BMI-SDS, outpatient visits, and blood glucose self-control were significantly associated with the prevalence of insulin pump therapy but did not alter the difference substantially. Conclusions: The prevalence of insulin pump therapy is roughly half among pediatric diabetes patients with Turkish background compared with those without migration background. Several covariates could not explain this difference. Individual characteristics or access barriers within the healthcare system may play a role. Further research is needed.

“…The part that the improvement of the cancer registration system in Denizli has had on this increase cannot be ignored. However, it is a fact that there are daily important increases in cancer cases in both Turkey (Fidaner et al, 2001;Turkish Republic Health Ministry Fighting Cancer Department, 2002;Bitiren et al, 2��3;Kılıç et al, 2��4;Genç and Avunduk, 2��5� and in the rest of the world (Razum et al, 2000;Bray et al, 2002;Eaton, 2003;Parkin et al, 2005;Jemal et al, 2007). The increase in incidence rates has been evidenced also in France; rates increased from the 1970s to 1980, and then in 1990s they leveled off in males but continued to increase in females (Menegoz et al, 1997).…”

ABSTRACT. Objective information about cancer incidence is important for planning control programs. We examined the distribution of cancer cases recorded in Denizli province, Turkey. A total of 2185 cancer cases reported to the Denizli Province Health Ministry's Cancer Early Diagnosis Center during the years 2000-2004 were evaluated for sociodemographic characteristics, cigarette use, family history, and organ systems. Among these cases, 56% were male and 44% were female; 45.1% of the patients had smoked cigarettes at some time and there was a 10-fold increase in lung cancer and a 4-fold increase in urinary cancers among cigarette smokers (P < 0.001). We found that 34.4% of the cancer cases were diagnosed as localized, 27.9% had a more extensive distribution and 21.8% were in metastasis. The most frequent types were urinary cancers at 26.4%, gastrointestinal cancers at 19.2% and respiratory cancers at 18.9%; there was a significant increase in gastrointestinal, blood and skin cancers over the years. Lung (14.9%), breast (14.1%), bladder (8.0%), prostate (5.3%), and lymphatic (4.8%) cancer cases were the most common.

“…Wegen der zunehmend geringeren Aussagekraft des Indikators Nationalität werden neuerdings auch namensbezogene Ansätze als Alternative genutzt [25,26]. In Deutschland haben wir einen Namensalgorithmus entwickelt und eingesetzt, um die Krebsinzidenz von Menschen türkischer Herkunft mit denen der Mehrheitsbevöl-kerung auf Basis der Daten des Krebsregisters des Saarlands zu vergleichen [24,27]. Der Algorithmus wird derzeit in gemeinsamen Studien mit dem Deutschen Kinderkrebsregister und dem Medizinischen Dienst der Krankenversicherung Westfalen-Lippe angewendet und soll in weiteren Untersuchungen zum Einsatz kommen.…”

In recent years, Germany has become an important immigration country. Health services in Germany thus have to face the needs of a growing migrant population. The health of migrants is affected by the process of migration in various--positive as well as negative--ways. Epidemiological research can help to reveal health inequalities between migrants and the majority population as well as to identify causes of disease. Standard epidemiological study designs may have to be adapted for migrant health research so they can be employed in migrant studies. While a large number of descriptive studies on migrant health have been conducted in Germany based on routinely available data sources, analytical migrant studies are still scarce. This paper presents an overview of methods and findings of epidemiological studies related to migrants in Germany. It also describes needs and challenges for future research.
