Children from the lowest socioeconomic status neighborhoods faced a 55% higher hazard of all-cause mortality compared to those from the highest neighborhoods.
The hazard of mortality remained elevated even among children who survived two years post-diagnosis, with a hazard ratio of 1.70.
Utilizing the National Cancer Database, a cohort of 17,044 children was analyzed to determine the effects of socioeconomic factors on leukemia survival.
Findings underscore the need for long-term support strategies for children from low socioeconomic backgrounds dealing with leukemia.
