The research article entitled “Prephase Steroid Treatment before Remission Induction Chemotherapy in Patients with Pediatric Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Using Common Data Model-Based Real-World Data: A Retrospective Observational Study”¹, which was first-authored by the former CCADD graduate,Yoona Choi, and co-authored by the members of CCADD  has been cited in the lastest haematology guidelines on the diagnosis and managemet of tumour lysis syndrome² published by the British Society for Haematology. Moreover, the study was cited in a recent review article published in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM)³ detailing the epidemiology and pathophysiology of tumor lysis syndrome.

The British Society for Haematology produces up-to-date evidence-based guidelines on the diagnosis and treatment of haematological disease, while The New England Journal of Medicine is one of the prominent journals of new medical knowledge and clinical best practicies worldwide (Impact Factor 78.5).

This recognition highlights the clinical significance of our study in advancing evidence-based practice for pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia. CCADD takes pride in producing research that informs medical decision-making, and will continue efforts to deliver impactful studies.
