Popis: Background: A prospective evaluation of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) during induction therapy for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) has not been performed. Herein, we prospectively investigated the frequency, risk factors, and outcomes of NAFLD during induction therapy in children and adolescents with B-cell precursor ALL (BCP-ALL). Methods: This study enrolled 74 newly diagnosed BCP-ALL cases aged 1 year and older who were admitted to our department between January 2011 and December 2020. Median age was 6.6 years (1.3–17.5 years). Plain computed tomography (CT) of the upper abdomen was performed before induction therapy, and on days 15 and 29 after initiation of induction therapy. Patients with a liver/spleen CT ratio
