Timing and combinations of cardiovascular diseases in survivors of childhood, adolescent, and young adulthood cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Children, adolescents, and young adults with cancer (referred to as CAYAs) are at risk of long-term health complications, with cardiovascular disease (CVD) being a major concern. In addition, sociodemographic characteristics and traditional cardiovascular risk factors may also contribute to disparities in outcomes compared with those of the general population. The aim of this study was to investigate the timing, patterns, and combinations of CVDs, as well as associated morbidity, mortality, and sociodemographic factors, in CAYAs with CVD compared with matched controls with CVD.

Methods

A register-based cohort study consisting of all Swedish cancer patients under 25 years old and during a 63-year observation time was used. CAYAs and controls with CVD (n = 58,981) w
