107 Background: Adolescent and young adult (AYA) Hodgkin lymphoma survivors are at high risk for long-term and late effects. Post-treatment guidelines are available from the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) and others; however, adherence to these guidelines is unknown. The purpose of this study was to identify AYA Hodgkin survivors from an integrated health care system and examine use of post-treatment services. Methods: We identified patients diagnosed between 2000 and 2010, ages 15 to 39. We identified use of NCCN recommended services (oncology visits, labs, CT) and non-recommended services (PET scan, CT after first year). Multivariate logistic regression was used to identify associations between receipt of recommended services within first 12 months post-treatment (oncology visits, labs, CT) and patient (gender, race/ethnicity) and cancer characteristics (stage, diagnosis age, diagnosis year). Results: We identified 354 patients (see table). Almost all had recommended oncology visits within the first 5 years (96%); 70% received recommended labs. Two-thirds received a recommended CT scan within 12 months post- treatment. However, 47% received a non-recommended CT in year 2 and 35% in year 3, and 33% received a non-recommended PETs. Overall, 48% received all recommended care within the first 12 months. Diagnosis year was significant in regression, with those diagnosed 2000-2005 less likely to receive recommended care than those diagnosed 2006-2010 (OR = 0.007, p < .0001). Conclusions: Less than half of patients received recommended care within the first year post-treatment. These results will inform development of effective programs to meet survivors’ needs. Next steps include exploring risk-stratified patterns of care in long-term survivors. [Table: see text]
