Frailty in long‐term Dutch adult survivors of childhood acute myeloid leukaemia, neuroblastoma, and Wilms' tumour

Abstract Background Several simultaneous impairments in physical ability may be an indication of frailty in adult survivors of childhood cancer (CCS). The aim of our study was to assess the occurrence of frailty and to explore potential determinants in a selected Dutch cohort of long‐term adult CCS. Methods In this cross‐sectional study, we used data of 70 very long‐term CCS [median age 28.8 years (interquartile range: 23.9–34.6)] of acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) ( n = 17), neuroblastoma (NBL) ( n = 25), and Wilms' tumour (WT) ( n = 28). Prefrailty and frailty were defined as having, respectiv... Mehr ...
