Evaluation of Body Composition and Nutritional Status in Pediatric Patients With Hematological Malignancies
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating D2O dilution technique for Childhood Cancer and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 38 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Introduction: Annually 400,000 children are diagnosed with cancer in the world. Approximately 90% live in low/middle-income countries, with survival rates of 10-30%. In Mexico, children and adolescents' hospital admissions for cancer are mainly leukemias (46%), being acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) the most common. Half of ALL patients have an altered nutritional status at the time of diagnosis. Nutritional assessment is performed using conventional anthropometric measures, which are not sensitive to changes in fat-free mass and fat mass (FFM and FFM). Our objective is to evaluate the body composition and nutritional status in pediatric patients with HM. This is a pre-test/post-test clinical trial. Children 2-14 y olds diagnosed with leukemia, myeloma and lymphoma in any stage of oncological treatment will participate. The nutritional status will be evaluated using questionnaires and body composition. Measurements will occur at the enrrollment of the study and 6 months after.

Interventions
Body composition will be measured with the deuterium dilution technique and electrical bioimpedance, as well as anthropometric indicators at the beginning and 6 months later.
