Infections and risk factors for infection-related mortality after pediatric allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in Mexico: A single center retrospective study.
PLoS One
October 2023
Objective: To identify the type of infections and risk factors for infection-related mortality (IRM) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT).
Methods: Retrospective cohort study of patients <16 years of age treated in 2010-2019 was conducted. Unadjusted hazard ratios (HR) and adjusted hazard ratios (aHR) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were estimated using Cox regression.
Maternal and paternal ages at conception of index child and risk of childhood acute leukaemia: A multicentre case-control study in Greater Mexico City.

Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to explore the relationship between parental age at conception and the risk of childhood acute leukaemia (AL) among Mexican children, given the high incidence of the disease in that population.
- - A multicenter case-control approach was used, comparing children diagnosed with AL to matched controls, and applying statistical analysis to investigate the impacts of maternal and paternal ages on this risk.
- - The findings revealed minimal associations between parental ages and childhood AL, though a higher risk for acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) was noted when mothers were 20-24 years old, and some association for acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) with younger mothers and fathers.
Our aim in this paper is to describe the results of treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) in Mexican children treated from 2006 to 2010 under the protocol from the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (DFCI) 00-01. The children were younger than 16 years of age and had a diagnosis of ALL de novo. The patients were classified as standard risk if they were 1-9.

Background: In Mexico and other developing countries, few reports of the survival of children with acute leukaemia exist. Objective. We aimed at comparing the disease-free survival of children with acute myeloid leukaemia who, in addition to being treated with the Latin American protocol of chemotherapy and an autologous transplant, either underwent early intensified chemotherapy or did not undergo such treatment.
