Patterns of hepatocellular carcinoma incidence in Egypt from a population-based cancer registry

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is increasing worldwide, and is frequently attributed to rising rates of hepatitis C virus infection and interactions between viral and environmental risk factors. Because of Egypt's unique risk factor profile, we analyzed data from the Gharbiah Population-Based Cancer Registry for the period 1999–2003 to characterize demographic and geographic patterns of cases in this province. Methods:  We calculated age- and sex-specific and age- and sex-standardized HCC incidence rates for the eight districts in Gharbiah. We also compared rates from Gharbiah with the USA (US Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results [SEER] database). Results:  The analysis revealed a higher incidence in males than in females, significant geographic variations among districts, and a higher incidence in Gharbiah than that reported by SEER. Conclusion:  The findings of this study document the heterogeneous distribution of HCC at regional and international levels. This population-based registry offers the opportunity for careful representative studies of various etiologies, particularly infectious and/or environmental factors that may contribute to risk.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/75374/1/j.1872-034X.2007.00299.x.pd

2019 Social Accounting Matrix for Egypt

The 2019 SAM for Egypt builds on the previous 2014/15 SAM that was built and published by Central Agency for Public Mobilization and Statistics (CAPMAS) with the support of the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI). The updated SAM also relies on information from the Supply and Use Tables and the Economic Census for 2017/18 that were produced by CAPMAS. It includes 69 sectors and 73 products. The SAM also includes 13 factors of production in three broad categories: labor, land, and capital. Labor is disaggregated across rural and urban areas and into four education-based categories. Capital is disaggregated into four subcategories: crops, livestock, mining, and other. The SAM has ten household groups that are disaggregated by national per capita expenditure quintiles, then split into rural and urban households. Overall, the 2019 SAM is composed of 177 rows x 177 columns.IFPRI1; CRP2; Open Access; 4 Transforming Agricultural and Rural Economies; 1 Fostering Climate-Resilient and Sustainable Food Supply; 2 Promoting Healthy Diets and Nutrition for all; 3 Building Inclusive and Efficient Markets, Trade Systems, and Food Industry; SAM; Nexus; Nexus SAMsDSGD; PIMCGIAR Research Program on Policies, Institutions, and Markets (PIM

Egypt Disaggregated Social Accounting Matrix, 2010/11

This data study includes disaggregated social accounting matrix (SAM) for the Egyptian economy for year 2010/11. This new SAM builds on the previous SAM 2010/11 built and published by Central Agency for Public Mobilization and Statistics (CAPMAS) with the support of the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI). This SAM was constructed with a special focus on the agriculture sector and on income distribution amongst households. It is composed of 52 activity sectors, 49 commodity sectors, three types of factors of production: labor (unskilled labor, semiskilled labor, and skilled labor), land, and capital; a government account, as well as, enterprises, households, savings and investment, and the rest of the world (ROW). The household sector is divided spatially into urban and rural households, with each disaggregated into 10 deciles according to expenditure. The disaggregated SAM allows for analyzing agricultural issues at the detailed crop level and to better understand the potential impacts of policy changes for both better off and more vulnerable households. </p
