Table S4 from Rurality of Residence and Distance to Clinic Are Risk Factors for Non-engagement in Childhood Cancer Survivor Care
Key Points
MAIN FINDING: Living more than 25 miles from a survivor clinic increases the risk of non-engagement in care for childhood cancer survivors.
KEY EVIDENCE: Survivors in rural areas showed notably lower engagement rates in follow-up care, indicating a clear link between distance and care participation.
APPROACH: Data from survivor characteristics and distance measurements were analyzed to identify engagement patterns in childhood cancer care.
SIGNIFICANCE: Understanding these risk factors can lead to targeted interventions to improve access and engagement for childhood cancer survivors in rural communities.
