The aim of this study was to access the prevalence of OC in the Al-Baha region and its association with the social determinants and risk factors in this population.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A retrospective cohort hospital-based study was conducted in Al-Baha Region between January 2012 and December 2019. Data collected from all the patients diagnosed with OC were extracted. OC was assessed based on the hospital records, histopathological data, and Tumor, Nodes, Metastasis (TNM) staging aided in cancer assessment. Detailed demographic data associated with OC was collected using semistructured telephonic interviews. Risk assessment was reviewed based on population, exposure of interest, and outcome.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 19\u00b0C patients out of 421 cancer patients were diagnosed. The mean age for OC in males was 59.72 \u00b1 15.83 years and 69.14 \u00b1 5.86 years in females. Oral squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue was the most with one case of metastasis. The average estimate per day smoking, E- cigarettes, water pipe smoking was 14.55 \u00b1 7.15, 11.15 \u00b1 3.55, and 0.52 \u00b1 4.7, respectively, with males\u2019 habits more than females.
