Objective: To describe the association between mortality due to gastric adenocarcinoma and type of health insurance in Peru. Methods: Retrospective cohort study performed in a referral public hospital in Lima, Peru. The outcome was time until event, from the date of diagnosis to the date of death or the date of censorship, whereas the exposure was the type of health insurance of the patient. Cox regression was used to evaluate associa-tions of interest reporting Hazard Ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals. Results: A total of 429 patients were enrolled. The age mean was 57.6 years (SD 13.8), 256 pa-tients were women (48.4%). According to the type of health insurance 311 (77.7%) pa-tients had “Seguro Integral de Salud” (SIS), provided by the Health Ministry; 63 (11.9%), had no health insurance; and 65 (10.4%), had other health insurance. During follow-up, 408 (77%) patients died, mean of survival was 336 (IQR: 131-651) days and mortality was associated with the presence of metastasis at diagnosis, type of histology, degree of differentiation, and type of treatment. In adjusted model, those with SIS were at higher risk of mortality (HR = 1.63, CI: 1.08-2.45) compared to those with contributory insur-ance. Conclusions: Patients with gastric adenocarcinoma with SIS health insurance had 63% more probability of dying than those with other health insurance; while there was no association in those without health insurance.
