Utilisation of healthcare in children born to lymphoma survivors in Sweden
Children born to lymphoma survivors had slightly increased healthcare utilisation during early childhood. However, no strong or consistent disease- or drug-specific clusters explained this increase. Findings therefore suggest that the elevated healthcare use may reflect heightened health-seeking behaviour among cancer survivors, rather than underlying morbidity in their children. These results provide reassurance for lymphoma survivors considering parenthood.
