ABSTRACT
Few studies have assessed the predictive factors for the length of hospital stay for children with malignancies admitted with a diagnosis of presumed infection. We performed an observational prospective study of children 13 years old or younger with hematologic malignancies and neutropenia admitted for presumed infection to set up a predictive model for the length of stay using variables available at admission. Episodes in which children were on induction chemotherapy were excluded from the study. In a multivariate linear regression model, age 6 years or older, an ill appearance, relapse of the hematologic malignancy, and the presence of a central venous catheter were the factors associated with longer lengths of stay for these children.
