A study of the results of treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia in Asian (Indian and Pakistani) children living in the United Kingdom showed that they had a poorer prognosis than native white children due mainly to deaths during remission. Similar proportions of Asian and white children suffered relapse. Lower socioeconomic status, poor nutrition, and difficulties in communication may have contributed to the worse outcome in the Asian children.
一项针对生活在英国的亚洲(印度和巴基斯坦)儿童急性淋巴细胞白血病治疗结果的研究表明,他们的预后比本地白人儿童更差,主要原因是缓解期死亡。亚洲儿童和白人儿童复发的比例相似。社会经济地位较低、营养不良以及沟通困难可能导致了亚洲儿童的预后更差。
