Longitudinal changes in nutritional status during induction chemotherapy and their association with treatment outcomes in pediatric patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia
Clinical Report: Nutritional Status Changes During Induction Chemotherapy in Pediatric AML
Overview
This study highlights the significant impact of nutritional status changes during induction chemotherapy on treatment outcomes in pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients. Key findings indicate that greater declines in weight Z-score and serum albumin are associated with lower remission rates and higher treatment-related mortality.
Background
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a prevalent hematologic malignancy in children, with induction chemotherapy being critical for treatment success. Nutritional status is a modifiable factor that can influence chemotherapy tolerance and overall outcomes. Understanding the dynamics of nutritional changes during treatment can inform timely interventions to improve patient prognosis.
