Neurocognitive impairment associated with chronic morbidity in long-term survivors of Hodgkin Lymphoma.

ABSTRACT: Thoracic radiation is associated with significant cardiopulmonary morbidities in survivors of long-term Hodgkin lymphoma and may affect neurocognitive outcomes. Survivors (N = 204; 52.5% female; mean [standard deviation] age, 36.6 [8.01] years) treated with thoracic radiation and age-, sex-, and race/ethnicity-matched community controls (N = 205; 51.7% female; age, 36.7 [9.17] years) completed standardized neurocognitive testing, echocardiography, pulmonary function tests, and vascular studies during the same visit. Treatments were abstracted from medical records. Cardiac (ie, left ventricular ejection fraction [LVEF], global longitudinal strain [GLS]), vascular (ie, large and small artery elasticity [SAE]), pulmonary (ie, diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide [DLCO] and forc
