Key Points

This research aims to assess the hospitalisation rates and associated costs of chronic health conditions in long-term survivors of childhood, adolescent, and young adult cancers.
Conducted an observational analysis of hospitalisation records
Focused on long-term cancer survivors
Identified high-cost chronic conditions such as schizophrenia and chronic kidney disease
High hospitalisation rates were observed in this population for chronic health conditions
Significant economic burden associated with conditions like schizophrenia and chronic kidney disease was found
Implementing targeted care could potentially reduce healthcare costs

Implication

Observational analysis identifies high-cost conditions in long-term cancer survivors, suggesting improved care strategies to lower costs.

Abstract

Implementing targeted survivorship care and preventative measures for high-cost conditions such as schizophrenia and chronic kidney disease may optimise healthcare resource use and reduce the economic burden for this population.
