dc.description.abstractBackground - The aim was to investigate the distribution of health problems in general practice (GP) among adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of lymphoma and to compare problem rates with the general population.<p> <p>Methods - All GP consultations between 2006 and 2020 were identified from the national GP claims register. Diseases and complaints presented 3–10 years after the cancer diagnosis were identified using the International Classification of Primary Care codes (ICPC-2) and compared by applying logistic regression models, presented with odds ratio (OR) and 95%CI.<p> <p>Results - A total of 2,500,557 AYAs, of whom 1105 were diagnosed with lymphoma, and over 50 million GP consultations were included. The most common causes of consultation among AYA survivors of lymphoma were related to Hodgkin’s disease (13%), pregnancy (11%), respiratory diseases (9%), psychological problems (8%), musculoskeletal system (6%) and fatigue (4%). Almost all these problems were significantly higher among AYA lymphoma survivors compared to the general population (OR ranging from 1.1 to 1.5).<p> <p>Conclusion - Compared to the general population, young lymphoma survivors have increased contact with the GP for a considerable number of health problems for up to 10 years post-diagnosis. This emphasizes the importance of robust follow-up and a good flow of information between hospital and primary care.en_US
