“…The risk of dying was 0.69 times (95% CI: 0.58-0.81) lower for females than for males. Recent studies noted higher cancer incidence and mortality among males compared to females [23][24][25]. According to our results, the risk of death in patients with cancer gradually increased with age.…”

This study aimed to identify the association between moving to a high-volume hospital and the mortality of patients with cancer living in the district. The study population comprised participants diagnosed with cancer within the past nine years (2004–2012). The final sample included 8197 patients with cancer, 3939 were males (48.1%), and 4258 were females (51.9%). A Cox proportional hazard model was used to estimate the hazard ratio (HR) for death. Confounding variables including sex, age, type of social security, income level, disability, and utilization volume were incorporated into the model. Among patients with cancer living in the district, 2874 (35.1%) used healthcare services in Seoul. About 10% (n = 834) of patients died during the follow-up period. The HR for death in females (HR: 0.68, 95% CI: 0.58–0.81) was lower than that in males. Additionally, the HR for the death of patients using healthcare services in Seoul (HR: 1.30, 95% CI: 1.11–1.53) was higher than those patients who did not use healthcare services in Seoul. Among patients utilizing services in the province, wealthier patients’ survival probability was significantly higher than that of others. The cause of income differences should be identified, and accessibility to medical use of low-income families should be enhanced to prevent mortality of patients from cancer disparities.

The Impact of High-Speed Railways on Unequal Accessibility Based on Ticket Prices in Korea

The high-speed railway (HSR) has affected accessibility at diverse spatial levels. Although previous studies have examined HSR impacts on accessibility and inequality, the price attribute in estimating accessibility is less noted. This study evaluates the effects of HSR on unequal accessibility at the South Korean national level, capital and non-capital regions and according to urban population sizes by comparing ticket prices to time values. There are two major conclusions of this study. First, an increase in time value through national growth or other exogenous conditions maximizes HSR impact and, thus, increases accessibility. For example, when the time value is 9.98 USD/h, the national HSR access inequality is reduced by 0.56%. However, when the time value is 6.02 USD/h, the reduction in the national inequality by the HSR is 0.19%. Second, if considering generalized travel time, HSR impact is maximized in medium cities rather than in large cities. When the time value is 6.02 USD/h (or 9.98 USD/h), the change in inequality between cities is −0.4% (−1.29%) in medium cities, while large cities show a −0.08% (−0.9%) reduction in access inequality.

“…Besides, some scholars pay attention to the social impact of HSR [17,18]. Chen et al, and Jiang, et al take explorative analysis on the impact of HSR on regional income disparities and found that HSR can accelerate regional economic convergence and reduce the regional income disparities [19,20].…”

Does High-Speed Railway Influence Convergence of Urban-Rural Income Gap in China?

Transportation is an important factor affecting the balance of regional economic pattern. The construction of high-speed railway enhances the mobility of population, capital, technology and information resources between urban and rural areas. Will it further affect the income gap between urban and rural areas? Based on the nonlinear time-varying factor model, this paper analyzes the convergence of urban-rural income gap with the angle of high-speed railway. After rejecting the assumption of overall convergence in the traditional four economic regions, three convergence clubs of urban-rural income gap were found. For these ordered logit regression model is used to explore the initial factors that may affect the formation of “convergence club”. Empirical results show that the construction of High-speed railway has effectively narrows the urban-rural income gap in China, but it is not the cause of the formation of the three convergence clubs. The convergence effect of High-speed railway on the urban-rural income gap in China is still relatively weak.
