Psychological Outcomes, Health-Related Quality of Life, and Neurocognitive Functioning in Survivors of Childhood Cancer and Their Parents
Open accessAbstract
Childhood cancer disrupts the lives of patients and their families and affects acute and long-term psychological health. This article summarizes (1) psychological challenges, including depression, anxiety, worries, and posttraumatic stress, as well as positive outcomes such as benefit finding and posttraumatic growth in young survivors and parents; (2) health-related quality of life; (3) interventions to support survivors and parents with psychological difficulties; and (4) neurocognitive problems and interventions to help alleviate them. Although many survivors and parents fare well in the long term, many survivors may benefit from interventions. Interventions should be further evaluated and integrated into routine clinical care.

“With the exception of the eSCCIP [23], most interventions are also implemented face-to-face, limiting benefits to rural-remote families [7,25,27,33].”

Checked by a reasoning model — may be wrong.
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThe source backs part of the claim, not all of it — or backs it for a different population, condition or comparison.
In the citing paper
“In line with other studies, we found that CCS with certain socio-demographic characteristics, including female sex, lower educational attainment, and unemployment, along with cancer-related medical characteristics, such as a CNS tumor diagnosis, reported poorer psychosocial outcomes [4, 8].”

“Despite the benefits of cancer treatment, this can be a vulnerable time for parents/caregivers, who can experience poor quality of life (QOL),_ENREF_9 anxiety, depression, loneliness _ENREF_8 [3,4,5,6,7], and fear of their child’s cancer recurring [4,5].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
