ABSTRACT

Existing comorbidity indices were not developed for adolescent and young adults (AYA) 15-39 years of age. The aim of this study was to assess impact of comorbidities on healthcare service needs and health status among AYA cancer survivors using the newly developed AYA HOPE comorbidity index in comparison with the existing indices.
