The Aetiology of Elevated Total Serum Immunoglobulin E in Children

Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim The paucity of real‐world data on the aetiology of elevated total serum immunoglobulin E (TS‐IgE) in children afflicts families and health care systems with diagnostic uncertainty. We explored a cohort of children with TS‐IgE levels over 1000 kU/L, focusing on the prevalence of atopic and non‐atopic conditions, the aetiology of extremely ...

Can we identify individuals at risk to develop multiple myeloma? A machine learning‐based predictive model

British Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
Individuals who may develop multiple myeloma within 5 years. Stage I (left) identifies patient and control groups and variables that differ between them. Stage II (middle) develops a complex SGBOOST model to predict future MM patients. Stage III (right) develops a simplified model.

Late infections after high‐dose therapy and autologous stem cell transplantation for lymphoma: A Danish population‐based study

British Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
Summary Infectious complications after high‐dose therapy and autologous stem cell transplantation (HDT‐ASCT) for lymphoma are the leading cause of late non‐relapse mortality. Characterizing the risk of infectious complications over time is important for rational follow‐up and because alternatives to HDT‐ASCT exist for some patients.
