Psychiatric Disorder Incidence Among Adolescents and Young Adults Aged 15-39 With Cancer: Population-Based Cohort

Open access

Abstract

Background: Adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer survivors face physical and psychological sequelae related to having cancer decades after treatment completion. It is unclear if AYA cancer survivors are at increased risk for late psychiatric disorders. Methods: We used the Alberta AYA Cancer Survivor Study that includes 5-year survivors of cancer diagnosed at age 15-39 years during 1991 to 2013. The primary outcome was incidence of psychiatric disorder (composite outcome) including anxiety, depressive, trauma- and stressor-related, psychotic, and substance use disorders that were identified using coding algorithms for administrative health databases. A validated coding algorithm identified people who experienced a suicide attempt or event of self-harm. Secondary outcomes were incidences of diagnoses by type of psychiatric disorder. Results: Among 12 116 AYA 5-year cancer survivors (n = 4634 [38%] males; n = 7482 [62%] females), 7426 (61%; n = 2406 [32%] males; n = 5020 [68%] females) were diagnosed with at least 1 of 5 psychiatric disorders occurring at least 3 years after cancer diagnosis. Survivors of all cancer types were most often diagnosed with anxiety (males: 39.0%, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 37.6% to 40.4%; females: 54.5%, 95% CI = 53.3% to 55.6%), depressive (males: 32.7%, 95% CI = 31.3% to 34.0%; females: 47.0%, 95% CI = 45.8% to 48.1%), and trauma- and stressor-related disorders (males: 13.5%, 95% CI =12.5% to 14.5%; females: 22.5%, 95% CI = 21.6% to 23.5%). Conclusions: Anxiety, depressive, and trauma- and stressor-related disorders are common among 5-year survivors of AYA cancer. Primary, secondary, or tertiary preventive strategies for AYAs diagnosed with cancer, particularly at an early age, are needed to mitigate risk of potentially severe outcomes because of psychiatric disorders.

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.
