Abstract
Cardiovascular disease is up to 10 times more likely among childhood cancer survivors compared to siblings. Low cardiorespiratory fitness is a modifiable risk‐factor for cardiovascular diseases. Yet, cardiorespiratory fitness is not routinely screened in pediatric oncology, and healthy VO 2max cut‐points are unavailable. We aimed to predict cardiorespiratory fitness by developing a simple algorithm and establish cut‐points identifying survivors’...
