Lung function in pediatric acute leukemia patients: diagnostic and prognostic issues

Abstract

While there have been notable advancements in the treatment of acute leukemia (AL), the occurrence of various complications substantially affects the prognosis for children with this condition. Lung function assessment and proper management of pulmonary complications in children with AL are crucial for enhancing their prognosis and quality of life. The objectives of the study included assessment of lung function in pediatric AL patients at different periods and determination of tolerance to physical activity in AL survivors.
