Abstract:
Objective To explore the potential transformation patterns and influencing factors of symp-toms and physical function in children with acute leukemia during chemotherapy.Methods A total of 109 children with acute leukemia who were treated in a children's hospital in Shanghai from March 2021 to Sep-tember 2022 were selected as the study subjects.The general information questionnaire and the Chinese ver-sion of the Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System(C-C-Ped-PROMIS)were used to e-valuate the symptoms and physical function at 1-3 days before chemotherapy(T1)and 7-17 days after chemotherapy(T2).Potential transition analysis was used for data processing.Results Three similar latent class features were identified at T1 and T2:the low distress group(T1:25.7%;T2:23.8%),the moderate dis-tress group(T1:42.2%;T2:43.6%)and the high distress group(T1:32.1%;T2:32.7%).The probability of maintaining the original group in the middle distress group and the high distress group was 60.3%and 72.3%,respectively.The probability of transition from the low distress group to the medium distress group and the high distress group was 40.2%and 22.3%,respectively.The probability of transition from the middle dis-tress group to the high distress group was 37.0%.In this study,16 cases(14.7%)were transitioned from the low distress group or the middle distress group to the high distress group,and there was a statistically signifi-cant difference in the distribution of daily fatigue within seven days at T1(P<0.05).Conclusion The symp-toms and physical function of children with acute leukemia during chemotherapy are heterogeneous.The fa-tigue assessment at baseline can provide reference information for potential state transfer.Medical staff should give accurate supportive intervention for different stages of chemotherapy.
