Abstract
Purpose
Neighborhood socioeconomic deprivation has been linked to adverse health outcomes. Yet, it is unclear if neighborhood-level social determinants of health (SDOH) measures impact overall survival in adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer patients.
Methods
This study utilized a diverse cohort of AYA cancer patients (N = 10,261) seen at MD Anderson Cancer Center. Zip codes were linked to Area Deprivation Index (ADI) values, a validated neighborhood-level SDOH measure, with higher ADI representing worse SDOH.
