  1. Anna Font-Gonzalez PhD Student Emma Children’s Hospital/Academic Medical Center Amsterdam, The Netherlands Burden of disease in childhood cancer survivors and consequences for the healthcare system: a follow-up study using medical record linkage Dag van de Gezondheidsstatistieken, 12th September 2013

  2. Childhood cancer survivors • Childhood cancer survivors (CCS): ↑ chronic health conditions • Serious outcome of health condition • Impact on patients’ daily life • Impact on health care system / society • Long term trends of hospitalizations over time? • Hospitalization-related health problems underlying hospitalizations?

  3. Objectives Objective 1. To define long term trends of hospitalizations in CCS over time Objective 2. To define hospitalization-related health problems in CCS hospitalizations

  4. GBA: Municipal Personal Records Database • Administrative database • Goal: provide data for population statistics • Demographic information • 1995-2008

  5. LMR: Hospital Discharge Register • Administrative register • Hospitalization-related health problems: Diagnosis at hospital discharge ICD9-CM • Hospitalization registration includes: • DoB • Gender • Postal code at the date of discharge • 1995-2005

  6. Difficulty hospitalization register  (1) Hospitalizations lost if a person changes address Postal code 1 Postal code 2 GBA X LMR

  7. Difficulty hospitalization register  (2) Hospitalized persons are not always a unique person Not unique Unique Not unique GBA LMR

  8. Cohort Study Using Record Linkage CCS eligible for linkage EKZ/ AMC cohort N=1564 Gender, date of birth and postal code BSN Excluded: Non-linked to GBA Eligible reference population 1995-2005 N=28 255 Dutch Municipal Population Registry (GBA) N=1477 Gender, date of birth and postal code at the date of discharge Corresponding year of birth, gender and calendar year (date of 5-year survival) Excluded: Non-unique after 5-year survivor Excluded:Non-unique after matched date 5-year survival Dutch National Medical Registry (LMR) 1995-2005 Unique CCS N=1382 (88%) Unique Reference Population N=26 583(94%)

  9. Practical issues • Remote access to CBS • Shared computer • Outputs

  10. Objective 1: Hospitalizations in CCS

  11. Specific Aims For Objective 1: Hospitalizations in CCS • To determine: • Average Relative Hospitalization Rates of CCS in comparison with the reference population • Hospitalization rates of CCS over time in comparison to a reference population • Hospitalization characteristics in CCS • CCS risk groups for hospitalization

  12. Methods: Hospitalization Rates • Hospitalization rates of CCS vs POP • Average relative hospitalization rates • Rates over time • Poisson regression model • Adjusted for • Gender, year of birth, follow-up time and calendar year • Recurrent events

  13. Methods: Treatment Risk Factor Analysis • Within CCS • Same Poisson model • Treatment Risk factors: • Cancer treatments

  14. Results

  15. Average Relative Hospitalization Rates

  16. Hospitalization Rate Over Time CCS POP

  17. Treatment Risk Factors Within CCS Significant risk factors:

  18. Objective 2: Hospitalization-related health problems in CCS hospitalizations

  19. Specific Aims For Objective 2: Hospitalization-related health problems 1. Average Relative Hospitalization Rate of hospitalization-related health problems in CCS compared with the reference population 2. Hospitalization rates of hospitalization-related health problems over time compared to a reference population within specific disease groups 3. Risk factors for hospitalization-related health problems (within CCS)

  20. Statistical Analysis • Longitudinal analysis: CCS vs POP • Poisson regression model • Gender, year of birth and calendar year • Recurrent events • Censored recurrences

  21. Results

  22. Average Relative Hospitalization Rates

  23. Discussion & Conclusion • Childhood cancer survivors have an increased hospitalization rate up to 30 years after primary cancer diagnosis • Previously described risks in CCS of neoplasms, endocrine and circulatory diseases translate into increased risk of hospitalizations • Implications • High and long-term burden of health conditions • Need for awareness and knowledge among all healthcare professionals • Results can inform follow-up strategies and treatment among CCS and new childhood cancer patients
