Description
Introduction: This project is a stage of the Survivorship and Palliative Care in Child and Adolescent Brain Cancer (CASPER) project, funded as part of the Centre for Child and Adolescent Brain Cancer. The CASPER project aims to develop a comprehensive understanding of the diverse needs of young people with brain cancer and their families, and the service models that will best support tailored and individualised interventions to improve outcomes. The aim of this stage of the CASPER project is to identify the clinical and demographic characteristics, and health care utilisation of children’s and adolescents with brain cancers and brain tumors in Queensland, Australia.
Methods: Linked data for patients aged 0-18 years who had a malignant or benign brain cancer diagnosis and were admitted to a Queensland Hospital between 2008 and 2018 were analysed.
Results: A total of 625 patients were identified, of which 344 (55%) were male. Children aged 0 to 4 years represented the largest age group of those with brain cancer (n=262, 42%). Of the total cohort, 7% (n=44) identified as Indigenous. The majority of patients had malignant disease (n=416, 67%). A total of 8,788 admissions and 401 emergency department presentations were documented.
Conclusions: Understanding the geographical context and profile of the health status of this population will help inform the development of interventions for stage 4 of the CASPER study.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
