Article Synopsis
- This study investigated the risk factors for acute pancreatitis (AP) in Polish children undergoing treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and its effects on their health outcomes.
- The research involved 2303 children, revealing a 4.08% incidence of AP, with older age identified as a significant risk factor, but overall mortality from AP was low at 2.13%.
- Despite some patients experiencing AP, the study found no significant differences in disease-free survival (p-DFS) and event-free survival (p-EFS) between those with AP and those without, indicating that AP does not adversely affect long-term outcomes for these children.
is a nosocomial pathogen that causes severe infections in immunocompromised patients.

The aim of the study was to analyze the incidence and mortality rates among pediatric patients with ALL who were treated in 17 Polish pediatric hematology centers in 2020-2021 during the pandemic. Additionally, we compared these results with those of our previous study, which we conducted in the years 2012-2017.

In this study, we focused on the incidence and the profile of viral infection in children with ALL treated in 17 pediatric oncology centers in Poland in the two-year periods of 2018-2019 and 2020-2021. We also compared the frequency of viral infections in 2018-2019 to that in 2020-2021.
