Utilisation of healthcare in children born to lymphoma survivors in Sweden.

ABSTRACT:

Background and purpose

Advances in lymphoma treatment lead to a growing population of lymphoma survivors in childbearing ages who might be concerned about the impact of their disease on their children's health. In this study, we aim to explore healthcare utilisation patterns that were associated with parental history of lymphoma.

Patients/material and methods

Children born to lymphoma survivors (diagnosed over the period 2000-2018) were identified by linking the Swedish Cancer Register to national population registers. Each child born to a lymphoma survivor was matched on maternal age at childbirth to five children born to lymphoma-free parents. Information on in- and outpatient diagnoses and drug dispensations up to age five were obtained for all children.
