There is a strong effect of social and parental socioeconomic factors on school performance in healthy adolescence in Denmark. The same pattern is seen in survivors of leukemia, but a different pattern is seen in survivors of CNS tumors. This finding suggests that impairment of school-related functions differ between leukemia and CNS tumor survivors. This study contributes to knowledge on learning in adolescence in childhood cancer survivors by investigating several social and socioeconomic effect modifiers with nationwide register data and a unique statistical method particularly suitable for comparing school grades. Improved insight could make it possible to identify high-risk groups that may need different means of help.
