Long-term hospitalisations in survivors of paediatric solid tumours in France.

ABSTRACT: The late effects of treatments for childhood cancers may lead to severe and multiple health conditions requiring hospitalisation. We aimed to estimate the hospitalisation rate among childhood cancer survivors (CCS) in France, to compare them with the general population and to investigate the associated factors. We matched total of 5439 5-year solid CCS diagnosed before the age of 21 between 1945 and 2000 by sex, birth year and region of residence to 386,073 individuals of the French general population. After linkage with the national hospital discharge database, we estimated the relative hospitalisation rate (RHR), the absolute excess risks (AERs) and the relative bed-day ratio (RBDR) during 2006-2018. We used generalised linear models to estimate associations between hospitalisation and s
