TL;DR
The course of life of young adults grown up with esophageal atresia was not delayed compared with that of their peers, whereas that of survivors of childhood cancer and patients with end-stage renal disease was delayed most.
Abstract
Health care providers should help to minimize the harm for children who grow up with a chronic or life-threatening disease by encouraging parents to stimulate social contacts and autonomy. Attention should especially be directed at children and adolescents growing up with childhood cancer or with end-stage renal disease.
