No role for electroencephalogram in the initial work-up of pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to verify whether there is a prognostic benefit of electroencephalogram (EEG) performed during initial work-up of children with newly diagnosed acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).

Methods

In this retrospective monocenter study, we analyzed the value of electroencephalogram (EEG) performed during initial work-up of children with newly diagnosed acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). All pediatric patients were included in this study who were diagnosed with de novo ALL in our institution between January 1, 2005, and December 31, 2018, and in whom an EEG was performed for initial work-up within 30 days of diagnosis of ALL. EEG findings were associated with the occurrence and the etiology of neurologic complications occurring during intensive c
