Scores on psychosocial developmental domains: comparison of survivors of childhood DTC with individuals non-affected with cancer.

	DTC survivors	Peer controls	P value	Comparison group	P value
n	39	30		508
Social development†	22 (20.3, 23)	22 (18, 23)	0.592	21 (19, 23)	0.233
Autonomy development‡	9 (8, 10)	10 (9, 11)	0.084	9 (8, 11)	0.241
Psychosexual development§	8 (6.5, 8)	8 (6, 8)	0.841	8 (7, 8)	0.556

Scores are shown as median (p25, p27). Comparisons between DTC survivors and other groups were performed using Mann–Whitney U tests. Higher scores indicate earlier achievement or achievement of more psychosocial developmental milestones; ^†scale ranges 12–24; ^‡scale ranges 6–12; ^§scale ranges 4–8. Missing values were excluded from statistical testing (pairwise deletion).
