Abstract
Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is an uncommon subtype of acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) that was previously one of the most fatal forms of acute leukemia. With advances in diagnosis and treatment, APL has become one of the most curable myeloid leukemias. The major reason for treatment failure in APL is early death after initiation of treatment. We performed a retrospective cross-sectional analysis of the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project 2016 and 2019 Kids' Inpatient Database, with the diagnosis of APL or AML not in remission as defined by ICD-10-CM codes. We compared complications and outcomes associated with APL and AML (exclusive of APL) in hospitalized children in the U.S. and described yearly national incidence. The national incidence of APL was 2.2 cases per million children per year. Children with APL were more likely to have cardiopulmonary complications (OR 1.79; CI 1.20-2.67; p = 0.004), coagulation abnormalities or DIC (OR 7.75; CI 5.81-10.34; p < 0.001), pulmonary hemorrhage (OR 2.18; CI 1.49-3.17; p < 0.001), and intracranial hemorrhage (OR 10.82; CI 5.90-19.85; p < 0.001) and less likely to have infectious complications (OR 0.48; CI 0.34-0.67; p < 0.001) compared to children with AML. In-hospital mortality rates were similar in children with APL and AML (4.2% vs 2.6%; OR 1.62; CI 0.86-3.06; p = 0.13), while the median length of stay for children who died from APL was shorter compared to AML (2 (IQR: 1-7) versus 25 (IQR: 5-66) days; p < 0.05). Hemorrhagic complications occur more often, and infectious complications occur less often in hospitalized children with APL compared to AML.

The Burden of Late Effects and Related Risk Factors in Adolescent and Young Adult Cancer Survivors: A Scoping Review. Cancers (Basel) 2021; 13:cancers13194870. [PMID: 34638350 PMCID: PMC8508204 DOI: 10.3390/cancers13194870] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/18/2021] [Revised: 09/18/2021] [Accepted: 09/22/2021] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary It is unclear what the risk of negative health outcomes is after cancer during adolescence and young adulthood. We conducted a review to understand the risk of second cancers, chronic conditions, and death in adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer survivors and found factors that increase the risk. In total, 652 studies were identified, of which 106 were included in the review: 23 for second cancers, 34 for chronic conditions, and 54 for deaths. The number of included studies increased over time, from four studies in 2010 to 17 in 2020. The studies found that AYA cancer survivors are at an increased risk of second cancers, chronic conditions, and deaths. In particular, the following factors increased risk: radiation exposure for second cancers; younger attained age and earlier calendar period of diagnosis for chronic conditions; and non-Hispanic Black or Hispanic, low socioeconomic status, and earlier calendar period of diagnosis for deaths. Abstract Risk factors associated with late effects in survivors of adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer are poorly understood. We conducted a systematic scoping review to identify cohort studies published in English from 2010–2020 that included: (1) cancer survivors who were AYAs (age 15–39 years) at diagnosis and (2) outcomes of subsequent malignant neoplasms (SMNs), chronic conditions, and/or late mortality (>5 years postdiagnosis). There were 652 abstracts identified and, ultimately, 106 unique studies were included, of which 23, 34, and 54 studies related to the risk of SMNs, chronic conditions, and mortality, respectively. Studies investigating late effects among survivors of any primary cancer reported that AYA cancer survivors were at higher risk of SMN, chronic conditions, and all-cause mortality compared to controls. There was an indication that the following factors increased risk: radiation exposure (n = 3) for SMNs; younger attained age (n = 4) and earlier calendar period of diagnosis (n = 3) for chronic conditions; and non-Hispanic Black or Hispanic (n = 5), low socioeconomic status (n = 3), and earlier calendar period of diagnosis (n = 4) for late mortality. More studies including the full AYA age spectrum, treatment data, and results stratified by age, sex, and cancer type are needed to advance knowledge about late effects in AYA cancer survivors.
