Clinical Trial Summary

Febrile neutropenia (NF) is the leading cause of unscheduled hospitalization in children with cancer. Management classically involves emergency admission to hospital for intravenous antibiotic treatment until resolution of fever and neutropenia. However, children with NF are a heterogeneous group with varying risks of severe infection (10-29%). This approach, which is recognized as excessive for low-risk episodes of severe infection, particularly in terms of quality of life and cost, is no longer recommended. Management should move to a more personalized model that takes into account the individual probability of severe infection. Clinical decision rules (CDRs) have been proposed to facilitate risk stratification, but none are useful in our French population because of insufficient reproducibility or effectiveness.
