Preoperative Cytopenia in Patients Affected by High‐Risk Neuroblastoma: Just a Matter of Platelets?

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims In patients affected by high‐risk neuroblastoma (HR‐NB), complete macroscopic resection (CMR) is associated with better outcomes. These patients are often cytopenic due to intensive induction regimens. The aim of the present study is to assess the impact of preoperative cytopenia on surgical outcome in patients with HR‐NB ...

Relation of Adverse Childhood Experiences to Clinical and Patient‐Reported Outcomes for Adults With Sickle Cell Disease: A Registry Study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are stressful or traumatic events prior to age 18 that are known to have a lasting impact on individuals’ health and well‐being. There is a gap in understanding the relationship between ACEs and Other Life Stressors and health status for adults with sickle cell disease (SCD).

Body weight definitions for evaluating a urinary diagnosis of acute kidney injury in patients with sepsis

BMC Nephrology, 2018
Background We hypothesized that the use of actual body weight might lead to more frequent misdiagnosis of acute kidney injury (AKI) than when ideal body weight is used in underweight and/or obese patients.

What to Do When Medical Evidence Can Only Be Generated Through Routine Data: An Example From Pediatric Oncology

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Children undergoing allogeneic stem cell transplantation often receive off‐label rituximab treatment for Epstein–Barr virus reactivation, using adult dosing without pediatric evidence. This project aims to develop a clinical decision support tool (CDSS) that provides evidence‐based dosing scenarios by analyzing real‐world patient data.

Lifestyle Behaviors and Cardiotoxic Treatment Risks in Adult Childhood Cancer Survivors

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Higher doses of anthracyclines and heart‐relevant radiotherapy increase cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. This study assessed CVD and CVD risk factors among adult childhood cancer survivors (CCSs) across cardiotoxic treatment risk groups and examined associations between lifestyle behaviors and treatment risks.
