Abstrakt: Researchers from the National University Health System in Singapore have developed a risk prediction model for life-threatening infections in children undergoing therapy for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The model aims to reduce time to first dose of antibiotics and sepsis-related mortality by allowing remote rapid triage of patients. The model was built using a retrospective analysis of 2068 fever episodes during ALL therapy and focused on 13 variables that discriminated admissions requiring critical care. The researchers suggest that the model could be applicable in low-middle income settings and should be further studied in real-world settings. [Extracted from the article]
