Abstract
A comprehensive overview of neurologic complications among survivors of central nervous system (CNS) tumors in childhood is lacking. We aimed to investigate the risk for these disorders in a large, population-based study with outcome measures from nationwide hospital registries. We identified 4858 five-year survivors with diagnoses of CNS tumor in childhood in Denmark, Iceland, Finland, and Sweden in 1943-2007, and 166658 matched population comparison subjects. Inpatient discharge diagnoses of neurologic disorders were used to calculate relative risks (RRs) and absolute excess risks (AERs). A neurologic disorder was verified in 1309 survivors, while 92.4 were expected, yielding an overall RR of 14.2 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 13.3-15.1) and an AER of 20 hospitalizations per 1000 persons per year. The risks remained increased more than 20 years after diagnosis (RR: 6.3, 95% CI: 5.6-7.2; AER: 11, 9-12). The most frequent diagnoses were epilepsy (affecting 14.1% of all survivors) followed by hydrocephalus (9.5%) and paralytic syndromes (4.2%), with RRs of 28.7 (95% CI: 26.0-31.6), 243 (95% CI: 190-311), and 40.3 (95% CI: 33.1-49.2), respectively. Of these outcomes, 30%-40% were diagnosed prior to or synchronously with the CNS ...Continue Reading
