Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Completion of course on oral hydration regimenTimepoint: 54 hours from start of high dose methotrexate infusion; at the end of oral hydration regimen, when oral LV rescue is complete.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Cumulative adherence rate (CAR): Proportion of required volume of fluid actually taken by the child, calculated for the total duration of oral hydration.Timepoint: Time point at the end of oral hydration regimen, when oral LV rescue is complete.;Median change in serum sodiumTimepoint: The time in hours from the start of intravenous methotrexate infusion at which the first serum methotrexate level is measured, given that the time point at the start of intravenous methotrexate infusion is 0 hours. Time point at the end of oral hydration regimen, when oral LV rescue is complete.;MTX T2 - Serum methotrexate level at timepoint T2Timepoint: Time point 2 (T2): The time in hours from the start of intravenous methotrexate infusion at which the second serum methotrexate level is measured, given that the time point at the start of intravenous methotrexate infusion is 0 hours.;Need for NG placementTimepoint: A time point 24 hours from the start of oral hydration regimen.;Occurrence of Febrile neutropenia, Anemia: Grade 3 or more, Thrombocytopenia: any grade, Nausea: Grade 2 or more, Vomiting: Grade 2 or more, Oral mucositis, Transaminasemia, Hyperbiliruinemia, Elevated creatinine, DermatitisTimepoint: Until the start of next course of HDMTX or 28 days from start of HDMTX, whichever is earlier.
