📊 Summary Table – Ferritin & Folate Status in Childhood Cancer Outcomes

Theme	Key Insights	Key Findings / Quotes
Objective	To examine the relationship between ferritin and folate levels with clinical outcomes in pediatric cancer patients.	- Focused on nutritional biomarkers during treatment. - Studied outcomes like treatment intensity, infection, and hospitalizations.
Ferritin Status	High ferritin levels were common, likely due to inflammation and disease process. Elevated ferritin associated with poor outcomes.	"Ferritin concentrations above reference range were associated with increased risk of febrile neutropenia and hospitalization."
Folate Status	Majority had normal to high folate levels; deficiencies were rare. No strong correlation between folate levels and clinical complications.	"Folate concentrations were not significantly associated with adverse clinical outcomes."
Clinical Relevance	Monitoring ferritin may help predict infection risk and morbidity. Folate screening may not be as clinically necessary unless deficiency suspected.	- Suggests potential role for inflammatory markers in interpreting ferritin levels.
Implications for Practice	Emphasizes nutritional monitoring, especially iron markers, during oncology care.	"Ferritin may be a useful clinical marker for identifying patients at risk of complications during treatment."
Limitations	Small sample size; confounding factors like inflammation influencing ferritin not fully adjustable.	- Findings need validation in larger, multi-center cohorts.
