Educational achievement among long-term survivors of XXXX : a Danish population-based follow-up study.

@entity1 @entity154 @entity245 @entity299 @entity2008 @entity204 @entity4297
BACKGROUND: @entity4297 @entity1 may experience @entity245 . We investigated their educational attainments from basic schooling to higher education. @entity1 AND METHODS: Using administrative databases, we identified all Danish @entity1 with a @entity299 diagnosis born from 1 January, 1977 to 1 January, 1991 and alive at age 13 years. As a comparison cohort, we randomly sampled 10 @entity1 per @entity1 . We obtained information on educational attainment from Denmark's Database for Labour Market Research. The study population was followed until achievement of educational levels, @entity204 , emigration, or 1 January, 2006. We estimated the hazard ratio of attaining given educational levels, conditional on completing preceding levels, using discrete-time Cox regression and adjusting for socio-economic factors. Analyses were repeated for a sub-cohort of @entity1 and controls born at term and without @entity154 or @entity2008 . RESULTS: We identified 2986 @entity1 . Their probability of completing compulsory basic schooling was approximately 10% lower than that of control individuals (adjusted hazard ratio = 0.79, ranged from 0.75 to 0.82 0.79; 95% confidence interval: 0.75-0.82). Their subsequent probability of completing secondary school was lower than that of the controls, both for all @entity1 (adjusted hazard ratio = 0.74; 95% confidence interval: 0.69-0.80) and for the sub-cohort (adjusted hazard ratio = 0.80; 95% confidence interval: 0.73-0.86). The probability of attaining a higher degree, conditional on completion of youth education, was affected both for all @entity1 (adjusted hazard ratio = 0.88; 95% confidence interval: 0.76-1.01) and for the sub-cohort (adjusted hazard ratio = 0.92; 95% confidence interval: 0.79-1.07). CONCLUSION: The probability of educational attainment was reduced among long-term congenital @entity299 survivors.
