This study was carried out to determine the prevalence of sleep disturbances in survivors of pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and to identify any risk factors for the same.Methods: Survivors of ALL aged 6-18 years, who had completed their treatment, at least two or more years ago, were enrolled. The Child Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ) was used to assess the sleep problems.Results: Out of 89 childhood survivors of ALL, 42.7% had sleep disturbances. Fears during treatment, painful memories during treatment, younger age at enrolment, and shorter interval from treatment completion were significantly more in patients having sleep problems.Conclusions: Approximately half of childhood ALL survivors had sleep problems. Fears during chemotherapy and shorter post-completion interval were significant risk factors for sleep problems in childhood cancer survivors.","PeriodicalId":13291,"journal":{"name":"Indian pediatrics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144591155","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present study compared the baseline parameters and survival outcomes in patients with ALL with and without MSK symptoms.Methods: A retrospective chart review of children aged < 18 years diagnosed with ALL was performed. Based on contemporary parameters, the patients were stratified into standard-risk (SR), intermediate-risk (IR), and high-risk (HR) groups. Clinical and laboratory features and survival outcomes were compared between ALL patients with and without MSK symptoms.Results: Out of 255 participants, 67 (26%) had MSK manifestations; of these, 9 were pretreated for JIA with glucocorticoids/methotrexate. Patients with MSK manifestations had a longer median duration of symptoms before diagnosis (4 vs 2 weeks, P < 0.001), and a higher median platelet count (53 × 109/L vs. 28 × 109/L, P = 0.002). The 3-year event-free survival (EFS) for patients with MSK and without MSK manifestations were 84.4 ± 5.2% and 78.9 ± 3.4% (P = 0.900). All 9 pretreated patients received an IR/HR protocol (4 were SR if not for the pretreatment as JIA).Conclusion: Patients with ALL with MSK manifestations have more preserved blood counts and a longer duration of symptoms before diagnosis. Pretreatment of children with ALL misdiagnosed as JIA with glucocorticoids/methotrexate can delay the diagnosis, confound the risk stratification, and upstage the risk group requiring administration of more toxic chemotherapy than necessary otherwise.","PeriodicalId":13291,"journal":{"name":"Indian pediatrics","volume":" ","pages":"489-494"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143795392","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The CSBS-ITC was administered to parents, followed by a standardized developmental assessment using the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development, Third Edition (BSID-III). Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) of CSBS-ITC were calculated.Results: Communication concerns were identified in 69% of children using the CSBS-ITC, and among these, 65% was confirmed to have language delays on the BSID-III assessment. CSBS-ITC demonstrated a high sensitivity (94%) and specificity (82%), with a positive predictive value of 87% and a negative predictive value of 80%.Conclusion: CSBS-ITC is a useful tool for screening communication delay in high-risk children aged 6-24 months, and the tool exhibits good screening accuracy.","PeriodicalId":13291,"journal":{"name":"Indian pediatrics","volume":" ","pages":"511-515"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144215618","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
