Patients were followed from the date of diagnosis until death or December 31, 2020. Kaplan\u2013Meier survival analyses and Cox proportional hazards models were used to evaluate long-term mortality outcomes according to disease groups and sociodemographic indicators, including insurance premium-based income categories and residential area.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In total, 175,813 CYP with LLCs were included. Survival patterns differed significantly across disease groups, age groups, and income levels. Disease group distribution varied by age, with premature and neonatal conditions predominating in infancy. Survival probabilities were lowest among children aged &lt; 1 year and among medical aid beneficiaries. Premature and neonatal disorders and cardiovascular diseases were associated with the shortest observed survival durations. Male patients demonstrated a higher hazard of death from cancer (hazard ratio [HR] 1.83), metabolic diseases (HR 1.61), and neurologic and neuromuscular diseases (HR 1.33) compared to female patients. Higher hazard ratios among medical aid beneficiaries were observed primarily in patients with metabolic, neurologic and neuromuscular diseases, whereas residence-related differences in survival were observed among patients with cardiovascular diseases.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Distinct survival trajectories exist across disease groups among CYP with LLCs. Early mortality predominates in premature and neonatal disorders and cardiovascular diseases, whereas more prolonged survival patterns are observed in cancer and neurologic disorders. These findings may inform the development of disease-specific integrated treatment strategies, long-term care planning, and supportive care policies for CYP with LLCs and their families.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/26323524261474071","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,31]],"date-time":"2026-07-31T19:08:19Z","timestamp":1785524899000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Sociodemographic differences in long-term survival among children and young people with life-limiting conditions: A 10-year cohort analysis using national health insurance data"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9134-6319","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Seonhwa","family":"Lee","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"National Cancer Center"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Byungmi","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Cancer Center"},{"name":"Graduate School of Cancer Science and Policy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yoonjoo","family":"Choi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Cancer Center"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Eun Jeong","family":"Choi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Cancer Center"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ji-ah","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Cancer Center"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jun Ah","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Cancer Center"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chung Ho","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Chung-Ang University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bomi","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Chung-Ang University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8538-9662","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bohyun","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Cancer Center"},{"name":"Department of Cancer AI &amp; Digital Health, Graduate School of Cancer Science and Policy Goyang-si Gyeonggi-do, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_7_2_2","volume-title":"Implementers and Managers","author":"World Health Organization","year":"2018","unstructured":"World Health Organization.
