Linked administrative data were used to identify primary oncologists, defined as \u201cAYA experts\u201d if at diagnosis, \u2265\u200915% of the oncologist&rsquo;s previous 2\u2009years of chemotherapy billings were for patients aged 15\u201329\u2009years. Associations between seeing an AYA expert and outcomes were analysed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Results<\/strong> \u2014 Among 863 AYA with HL, 225 unique primary oncologists were identified. A total of 112 (13.0%) AYA had a primary oncologist with AYA expertise. Older patients [adjusted OR (aOR): 0.8 per year, 95% CI: 0.7\u20131.0; p\u2009=\u20090.04] and those seen in adult community hospitals [vs. regional cancer centre, aOR: 0.1, 95% CI: 0.02\u20130.4; p\u2009=\u20090.001] were less likely to see an AYA expert. Only 56 (6.4%) AYA received a fertility consult within 30\u2009days of HL diagnosis; most occurred in the later study period (2006\u20132012). Seeing an AYA expert was associated with increased odds of fertility consultation (aOR: 2.1, 95% CI: 1.0\u20134.3; p\u2009=\u20090.04). Among the full cohort, there was no association between AYA expert care and event-free survival (EFS), overall survival (OS), or subsequent live birth.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conclusion<\/strong> \u2014 A volume-based definition of AYA expertise was associated with receipt of fertility consults, but not with EFS or OS for AYA with HL. If validated in other populations and settings, seeing a volume-defined AYA expert could serve as a quality metric in AYA cancer care.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Purpose \u2014 To determine whether adolescent and young adults (AYA) with Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) who are treated by oncologists with \u201cAYA expertise\u201d improve outcomes.
