Background
The aim of this study is to evaluate how cumulative burden of clinically relevant, self‐reported outcomes in childhood cancer survivors (CCSs) compares to a sibling control group and to explore how the burden corresponds to levels of care proposed by existing risk stratifications.
Methods
The authors invited 5925 5‐year survivors from the Dutch Childhood Cancer Survivor Study (DCCSS...
Background
Cancer‐related fatigue is a debilitating late effect after treatment for childhood cancer. The prevalence of fatigue in childhood cancer survivors (CCSs) and associated factors for fatigue has varied widely in previous studies. Two important aspects of cancer‐related fatigue, its severity and chronicity, are often not assessed. This study investigated the prevalence of, and risk factors...
We systematically reviewed outcome assessment methods, outcome classification, and severity grading of reported outcomes in studies investigating the burden of physical long‐term morbidity in childhood cancer survivors (CCS).
A MEDLINE and EMBASE search identified 56 studies reporting on three or more types of health conditions in 5‐year CCS, for which information was extracted on outcome types and...
Background
Childhood cancer survivors (CCS) are at risk of developing long‐term morbidity, which is likely to be presented to a primary care physician (PCP). Therefore, insight into CCS's PCP‐based health care use is needed. We investigated the volume and underlying health problems of PCP‐based health care use and the determinants for PCP‐based health care use in CCS.
