^aOnly those attending school were included. IEP: Individualized educational program

^b% was calculated using non-missing data (n = 305). Disease severity was not documented in a consistent manner across recruitment sites as well as across cancer types and thus not reported here

^c% was calculated based on children who received radiotherapy (n = 170)
