Data on the incidence and pattern of complications would help to guide appropriate monitoring and treatment of childhood cancer survivors.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Purpose of study is to determine endocrine and metabolic effects in childhood cancer survivors including both hematological malignancies and solid tumors due to cancer per se and treatment-related, including different chemotherapeutic agents and radiotherapy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Among 97 participants, 84 children (84.5%) had at least one endocrine or metabolic complication; 41 children (42.3%) had more than two endocrine\/metabolic complications. Common endocrine complications included precocious puberty (6.2%), short stature (6.2%), and hypothyroidism (5.1%). Among metabolic complications, dyslipidemia was the highest with an incidence of 68%, followed by fasting hyperinsulinism (32%), diastolic hypertension (18.6%), systolic hypertension (11.3%), obesity (8.8%), and metabolic syndrome (8.2%) and impaired fasting glucose (4.1%).<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Among endocrine complications, there was a significant increase in incidence of hypothyroidism among children receiving radiotherapy (odds ratio [OR]: 7.13, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.1\u201346.2), and among metabolic complications, a significant increase in incidence of metabolic syndrome in children treated with L-asparaginase compared with those not treated with L-asparaginase was observed (OR: 5.61, 95% CI: 1.07\u201329.5). There was no significant difference between incidence of observed endocrine and metabolic complications based on type of tumor, gender, and puberty status of study participants.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>This study suggests that there is significant incidence of endocrine and metabolic complications in childhood cancer survivors, hence timely and appropriate recognition of these complications by appropriate screening recommendations and pursuing further endocrine evaluation rationally is needed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0044-1792004","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,6]],"date-time":"2024-11-06T19:04:33Z","timestamp":1730919873000},"page":"563-569","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Early
