3.3 Screening for predictive factors of ARE
The baseline characteristics of the patients with ARE were compared with
those without ARE. Univariate analysis identified a high LDH value and
high DIC score on admission, fever preceding induction therapy, and MYCN
amplification as possible risk factors of neuroblastoma in patients with
newly diagnosed neuroblastoma (Table 3). Uric acid and creatinine
values, which are diagnostic markers of TLS, were not associated with
ARE. (Table 3).
