Abstract
The presence of bone marrow involved and increased VMA were high-risk factors for infection, while NSE ≥ 200µg/L and LDH ≥ 1000 U/L were high-risk factors for hemorrhage. For those children who had experienced severe myelosuppression, the presence of bone marrow metastases, increased VMA, and LDH ≥ 1000 U/L were their risk factors. The presence of bone involvement was a high-risk factor for children to have non-myelosuppressive adverse effects. Complications that arise during induction chemotherapy could negatively impact the children's prognosis and overall quality of life. • The high-risk neuroblastoma (HR-NB) had a worse prognosis; there was a general international preference for high-intensity chemotherapeutic regimens in the induction phase to these children. • We analyzed the incidence and risk factors of complications during induction chemotherapy in children with HR-NB and tried to help clinicians predict such complications and adopt optimized therapeutic strategy.
