Filter by:The HEAR-study pilots and evaluates a national, low-threshold screening program to detect hearing problems in Swiss adult childhood cancer survivors. Participants will conduct a hearing test in a local hearing aid shop and report about their experiences at the shop in questionnaires and interviews. The screening program will be evaluated using the RE-AIM framework.
Children treated with intensive chemotherapy are at increased risk for life-threatening infections (sepsis). As the survival of oncology patients increased with the use of aggressive treatment protocols, there was also an increase in the need for hospitalization in intensive care units (ICU) due to sepsis.Several prognostic factors are known to affect the survival of these patients, including the number and type of damaged systems, the type of oncology disease and the duration of neutropenia. With the development of the treatment of ICU, the survival of the oncology patients hospitalized for sepsis has also increased. We will collect demographic details, details of their oncology and infections, laboratory tests and imaging. The goal is to identify prognostic factors in oncologic children hospitalized in ICU due to sepsis, as well as clinical and laboratory parameters that characterize this group of patients.
The purpose of this study is to test the efficacy of a peer support coaching intervention to improve activated chronic illness self-management versus an attention control group in 225 adolescents and young adults with childhood onset chronic conditions.
To measure coronary calcium score in adults treated during childhood or adolescence for irradiation cancer in the heart and / or anthracycline area and compare them to determine whether irradiation of the heart area is associated with increased calcium score after adjustment for other cardiovascular risk factors (age, sex, smoking, dyslipidemia, obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure and renal failure).
This is a multicentre prospective study of the feasibility and clinical value of a diagnostic service for identifying therapeutic targets and recommending personalised treatment for children and adolescents with high-risk cancer.
This study will look at your body's response to the new immunizations. We want to see how well they will protect you. Immunization is the same as vaccination. Our goal is to protect you as much as we can. We do not want you to have the measles, mumps, or whooping cough. We are doing the study because there is no standard way to re-immunize people after cancer treatments.
