Abstract
Medication-induced diabetes (MID) is common during induction therapy for pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and has potentially significant negative consequences. Reported risk factors for MID are variable with limited data comparing patients treated with standard-risk (SR) vs. high-risk (HR) regimens. This study aims to evaluate the incidence and risk factors for MID during induction in patients with ALL from the Maritimes over a 20-year period. We performed a retrospective single-center study of 262 patients (142 males, 120 females) diagnosed with ALL at IWK Health in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, from 2000 to 2019. Older age, higher body mass index, greater central nervous system status, Trisomy 21, and prednisone steroid type were risk factors associated with MID in our cohort. HR patients developed significantly more complications than SR patients including MID and infection. Screening for MID should be routine during ALL induction treatment, particularly in those with HR disease.
期刊介绍:
Pediatric Diabetes is a bi-monthly journal devoted to disseminating new knowledge relating to the epidemiology, etiology, pathogenesis, management, complications and prevention of diabetes in childhood and adolescence. The aim of the journal is to become the leading vehicle for international dissemination of research and practice relating to diabetes in youth. Papers are considered for publication based on the rigor of scientific approach, novelty, and importance for understanding mechanisms involved in the epidemiology and etiology of this disease, especially its molecular, biochemical and physiological aspects. Work relating to the clinical presentation, course, management and outcome of diabetes, including its physical and emotional sequelae, is considered. In vitro studies using animal or human tissues, whole animal and clinical studies in humans are also considered. The journal reviews full-length papers, preliminary communications with important new information, clinical reports, and reviews of major topics. Invited editorials, commentaries, and perspectives are a regular feature. The editors, based in the USA, Europe, and Australasia, maintain regular communications to assure rapid turnaround time of submitted manuscripts.
