Article Synopsis
- Pediatric patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) often receive low dose ionizing radiation during cardiac catheterizations (CC) for diagnosis and treatment, but the long-term cancer risks associated with this radiation are not well understood.
- A study was conducted with a French cohort of over 17,000 children who had their first CC between 2000 and 2013, tracking them for factors leading to lympho-hematopoietic malignancies.
- The results showed no increased risk of these cancers related to the low dose radiation from CC, however, more extensive studies are suggested for better understanding the relationship between radiation exposure and cancer risk.
Purpose: The COCCINELLE study is a nationwide retrospective French cohort set up to evaluate the risk of cancer in patients who undergone cardiac catheterisation (CC) procedures for diagnosis or treatment of congenital heart disease during childhood.
Participants: Children who undergone CC procedures from 1 January 2000 to 31 December 2013, before the age of 16 in one of the 15 paediatric cardiology departments which perform paediatric CC in mainland France were included. The follow-up started at the date of the first recorded CC procedure until the exit date, that is, the date of death, the date of first cancer diagnosis, the date of the 18th birthday or the 31 December 2015, whichever occurred first.
Background: During university, students face some potentially serious health risks, and their lifestyle can have a direct effect on health and health behaviors later in life. Concurrently, university students are digital natives having easy access to the internet and new technologies. Digital health interventions offer promising new opportunities for health promotion, disease prevention, and care in this specific population.
