The study was conducted using various instruments, including paediatric-modified total neuropathy scale for CIPN, handheld dynamometer for muscle strength, bioimpedance analyser for muscle mass, timed up-and-go test for physical performance, and national comprehensive cancer network (NCCN) guidelines for scoring cancer-related fatigue at 3-time points. The collected data were analysed by IBM Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 29 using Z-scores with standard deviation for distinct ALL\/LBL types. In addition, the Paired <jats:italic>t<\/jats:italic>-test compared the baseline outcome to the 3<jats:sup>rd<\/jats:sup> and 6<jats:sup>th<\/jats:sup> time points.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"st3\">\n<jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>The study evaluated 25 children with ALL undergoing chemotherapy based on the UKALL 2003 protocol during their maintenance phase. The study found that 25 children experienced CIPN, with changes in sensory and pin sensibility scores at 3 and 6 months. The study found a significant change in handgrip strength, body mass index, and muscle mass at 3 months, with no significant change in physical performance over time. Fatigue scores increased from baseline to 3 months, with significant changes observed for the 7\u201312 years age group at 3 months but not for the 5\u20136 years age group at 6 months.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"st4\">\n<jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Children with ALL\/LBL undergoing chemotherapy experience CIPN and other side effects such as sarcopenia and fatigue. The study highlights the potential benefits of physiotherapy interventions and supportive care strategies aimed at managing the adverse effects of chemotherapy in children with ALL\/LBL.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.25259\/ijpc_143_2023","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,21]],"date-time":"2023-10-21T12:14:49Z","timestamp":1697890489000},"page":"426-431","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.25259\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Evaluation of Chemotherapy Induced Peripheral Neuropathy, Sarcopenia and Fatigue in Children with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia and Lymphoma in Tertiary Care Hospital, Dakshina Kannada"],"prefix":"10.25259","volume":"29","author":[{"given":"Nishtha","family":"Singhal","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiotherapy, Kasturba Medical College, Mangalore, Manipal Academy of Higher Education, Manipal, India,"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stephen Rajan","family":"Samuel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiotherapy, Kasturba Medical College, Mangalore, Manipal Academy of Higher Education, Manipal, India,"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vijaya K.","family":"Kumar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiotherapy, Kasturba Medical College, Mangalore, Manipal Academy of Higher Education, Manipal, India,"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Harsha","family":"Prasad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Paediatrics, Kasturba Medical College, Mangalore, Manipal Academy of Higher Education, Manipal, India,"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M.
