PURPOSE
To determine the feasibility of conducting survivorship research for long-term health outcomes with survivors of cancer diagnosed as an adolescent or young adult (AYA) and enrolled in Kaiser Permanente Southern California (KPSC), an integrated managed care organization.
METHODS
Survivors diagnosed at ages 15-39 during 1990 and 2000 at KPSC were included. A 1:5 age-, gender-, and calendar-year-matched non-cancer KPSC comparison group was also identified. Date of cancer diagnosis was defined as the study baseline. KPSC insurance retention rate was calculated at 5 and 10 years post-baseline among survivors. Multivariable logistic regression was used to examine demographic and cancer characteristics associated with KPSC insurance retention at ≥5 years after baseline.
RESULTS
A total of 6170 AYA cancer patients were identified: 4745 (77%) and 4471 (72%) survived at 5 and 10 years after diagnosis respectively. Of these survivors, 3654 (77%) and 2817 (63%) remained insured at KPSC at 5 and 10 years post-cancer diagnosis respectively. Those aged 20-29 years when diagnosed and those with stage 4 cancer were less likely to retain KPSC insurance than other survivors. For non-cancer comparison subjects, the KPSC insurance retention rate was lower: 66% at 5 years and 51% at 10 years post-baseline. Younger age, female gender, white race, and later calendar years of study baseline were associated with a lower likelihood of KPSC insurance retention.
CONCLUSION
These results demonstrate the feasibility and potential limitations of conducting survivorship research to characterize long-term health outcomes for survivors of AYA cancer in a large, integrated managed care organization.
