Multilevel Characteristics of Cumulative Symptom Burden in Young Survivors of Childhood Cancer

CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: In this cross-sectional study of young childhood cancer survivors, symptom burden was prevalent. Caregiver anxiety and disparity-related neighborhood factors were associated with greater symptom burden, whereas meaning and purpose was a protective factor. Greater specific symptom burden contributed to poorer HRQOL. The findings suggest that interventions targeting resilience and neighborhood adversity may alleviate symptom burden and improve HRQOL.PMID:38713463 | DOI:10.1001/jamanetworkopen.2024.10145
