For each exposed subject, three age and deprivation matched controls from the population were selected. The primary exposed group was all females with a cancer diagnosis at age &lt;25 years and no previous pregnancy and no psychiatric admission before cancer diagnosis. The main outcome measure is admission to a psychiatric hospital with a mental health diagnosis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Findings<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Female cancer survivors had a significantly lower cumulative incidence of first psychiatric admissions than matched controls over the 38 years of follow-up for the cohort (p&lt;0.05).
