Repeated Measures Models for Predictors of BMI z-Score During and After Treatment in Pediatric ALL Survivors

From diagnosis to end of treatment
From end of treatment to 5 years post-treatment
β 95% CIa P β 95% CIb P
Male gender 0.17 −0.11, 0.46 0.22 0.21 −0.09, 0.52 0.17
Receiving CRT 0.16 −0.24, 0.56 0.43 −0.42 −0.94, 0.10 0.11
Age at diagnosis −0.01 −0.04, 0.03 0.67 −0.004 −0.04, 0.03 0.82
High risk ALL −0.37 −0.69, −0.06 0.02 −0.002 −0.36, 0.35 0.99
Months since diagnosis −0.004 −0.01, 0.005 0.38 0.001 −0.003, 0.005 0.56
BMI z-score at diagnosis 0.46 0.34, 0.59 <0.0001 0.91 0.69, 1.12 <0.001
Overweight/obese at diagnosis 1.02 0.64, 1.41 <0.0001 0.80 0.10, 1.50 0.03
Change in BMI z-score during treatment 0.82 0.59, 1.04 <0.001
a

Adjusted for gender, receiving CRT, age at diagnosis (continuous), treatment risk category (high vs. standard risk ALL), months since diagnosis (continuous), and BMI z-score at diagnosis (continuous). Weight status at diagnosis (overweight/obese vs. healthy weight/underweight) was evaluated in separate models with all predictors except for BMI z-score to avoid collinearity;

b

β and 95%CI were additionally adjusted for change in BMI z-score during treatment (continuous).
