Objective:To investigate the allogeneic blood transfusion (ABT) characteristics of children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in different risk stratification during vincristine, daunorubicin, L-asparaginase and prednisone (VDLP) induction remission.Subjects and Methods:By referring to electronic medical records, the demographic characteristics, diagnosis, test, and treatment information including ABT were collected. According to the risk stratification of the CCCG-ALL-2015 protocol, ABTs between groups were compared, and the differences were statistically analyzed.Results:One hundred sixty-three newly treated children with ALL were enrolled in this study, who received 643.5 U of red blood cells and 377.6 U of platelets (PLTs) during the VDLP. The amount of ABT in the intermediate-risk (IR) group (n=102) was significantly higher than that in the low-risk group (n=61), which were reflected in the red blood cells in the first half of VDLP (P=0.033) and the PLTs in the second half of VDLP (P<0.001). Meanwhile, the PLT counts in the IR group were significantly lower in the same period. The time node was bounded by the minimal residual disease test on the 19th day.Conclusions:Children in the IR group or with unsatisfactory induction may need more ABTs during the VDLP, and the relatively low PLT counts seem to contribute to this. The results of this study can provide a basis for patient blood management, as well as a reference for studying the long-term effects of ABT on children with ALL.
