Abstract
- Severe malnutrition evaluated by patient-generated subjective global assessment results in poor outcome among adult patients with acute leukemia: a retrospective cohort study. Moreover, although no statistically significant difference was observed, patients with malnutrition tended to have lower EFS than those without malnutrition at diagnosis (86.7 ± 7.4% vs. 94.7 ± 2.1%, I p i = 0.301) (Figure 2(c)). Over the past several decades, the 5-year relative survival for childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) has exceeded 90% due to improvements in treatment and support care [[1]]. The prevalence of patients with malnutrition (undernutrition and overnutrition) increased from 20.3% to 36.6% during induction therapy. [Extracted from the article]
