Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Children aged 18 years or younger diagnosed with hemato lymphoid malignancy Febrile neutropenia defined as Single oral temperature greater than or equal to 38.3 degrees Celsius or greater than or equal to 38.0 degrees Celsius sustained for more than 1 hour Absolute neutrophil count less than 500 cells per cubic millimeter or expected to fall below 500 within the next 48 hours Presentation within 24 hours of onset of fever

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Patients who have received antibiotics within 24 hours prior to presentation Children with pre existing autoimmune or metabolic disorders that may interfere with biomarker or metabolomic analysis

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Identification of clinical and laboratory patterns predictive of progression to sepsis and septic shock in paediatric febrile neutropenia Timepoint: all the available outcomes data will be collected at 0, 24 and 48hr after the FN episode

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Development & validation of paediatric specific risk prediction score by integrating clinical patterns & presepsin dynamics. Timepoint: Presepsin levels will be assessed at 0hr, 24hr, & 48hr timepoints after the FN episode.
