Overview
Brief Summary
This was a retrospective, non-interventional, registry study based on secondary electronic medical record (EMR) data collected in Helsinki and Uusimaa hospital district (HUS data lake), hospital district of Southwest Finland (VSSHP data lake) and Pirkanmaa hospital district (PSHP data lake) as a part of their routine clinical practice. Social Insurance Institution of Finland (SII; reimbursed drug purchases) was utilized in this study to complement the medication data. The metastatic melanoma patients were stratified by first-line treatment and by hospital district.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Mean Age-standardized Annual Incidence of Metastatic Melanoma in 2014-2021
Time Frame: Up to approximately 7 years
Gender at Index Date per Hospital District
Time Frame: Index date, defined as date of metastasis diagnosis
Point Prevalence per 100,000 Population
Time Frame: Up to approximately 7 years
Point prevalence was defined as the number of metastatic melanoma patients alive at the end of 2021 divided by the total of hospital districts of Helsinki and Uusimaa hospital district (HUS), Pirkanmaa hospital district (PSHP), and Hospital district of Southwest Finland (VSSHP).
Mean Age of Patients at Index Date per Hospital District
Time Frame: Index date, defined as date of metastasis diagnosis
Mean Length of Follow-up at Index Date per Hospital District
Time Frame: Index date, defined as date of metastasis diagnosis
Number of Patients with Positive Proto-oncogene B-Raf (BRAF) Status at Index Date per Hospital District
Time Frame: Index date, defined as date of metastasis diagnosis
Number of Patients by Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) Score Category at Index Date per Hospital District
Time Frame: Index date, defined as date of metastasis diagnosis
CCI predicts the ten-year mortality for a patient who may have a range of comorbid conditions. Comorbidity was assessed using the CCI, categorized as low (0-1) and high (≥2).
Number of Patients with Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) Levels Less than the Upper Limit of Normal (ULN) at Index Date per Hospital District
Time Frame: Index date, defined as date of metastasis diagnosis
Number of Patients with Negative BRAF Status at Index Date per Hospital District
Time Frame: Index date, defined as date of metastasis diagnosis
Number of Patients by Location of Metastases at Index Date per Hospital District
Time Frame: Index date, defined as date of metastasis diagnosis
Locations of metastatic sites at study entry: * lymph node * lung * skin/subcutaneous * liver * brain * bone * kidney * peritoneum/peritoneal cavity * spleen * pancreas * intestine
Number of Patients by Most Prevalent (greater than 5%) Baseline Comorbidities per First-line Medication
Time Frame: 5 years prior to index date, where index date was defined as date of metastasis diagnosis
Number of Patients with LDH Levels Between the ULN and 1.5 Times ULN at Index Date per Hospital District
Time Frame: Index date, defined as date of metastasis diagnosis
Number of Patients with LDH Levels Greater than 1.5 Times ULN at Index Date per Hospital District
Time Frame: Index date, defined as date of metastasis diagnosis
Number of Patients by Number of Metastatic Organs at Index Date per Hospital District
Time Frame: Index date, defined as date of metastasis diagnosis
Number of Patients by Tumor, Nodes, and Metastasis (TNM) Stage per Hospital District
Time Frame: Index date, defined as date of metastasis diagnosis
