Abstract
AbstractPurposeThe aim was to provide evidence about the prevalence, incidence, and risk factors of cardiac electrical abnormalities in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) survivors.MethodsWe included all original studies reporting the incidence and/or prevalence of cardiac electrical abnormalities and/or risk factors associated with cardiac electrical abnormalities in childhood ALL survivors (< 21 years old at the time of their initial cancer diagnosis) who were post-treatment. Searches of the databases PubMed, Ovid MEDLINE(R) and Epub Ahead of Print, In-Process, In-Data-Review & Other Non-Indexed Citations, Daily and Versions(R), Ovid All EBM Reviews, Ovid Embase, and ISI Web of Science were completed in May 2023. The risk of bias was assessed using the standard JBI critical appraisal checklists.ResultsThe 11 studies included in this review (N = 1,264 participants) evaluated various parameters, including different cardiac electrical abnormalities. Five studies reported heart rate abnormalities (0–68%), six reported repolarization disorders (0–30%), two reported depolarization disorders (0–1%), seven reported rhythm disturbances or abnormalities (0–100%), four reported conduction disorders (0–10%), and three reported unclassified abnormalities (1–38%). No risk factors were reported.ConclusionsElectrical heart problems have been observed in childhood ALL survivors after completion of treatment. Large prospective studies in childhood ALL survivors, clear definitions of cardiac electrical abnormalities, and comparison with a control group are warranted.Implications for cancer survivorsCardiac electrical abnormalities induced by chemotherapy-related cardiotoxicity in the growing population of childhood ALL survivors need to be better characterized to ensure better long-term follow-up and improve overall survival rate.
