Summary

This study tested a new decision rule to help doctors tell which children with fever and low white blood cells after chemotherapy are at high risk for a serious infection. Researchers looked at 1,900 children aged 1 to 18 with cancer or blood disorders. The goal was to see if the rule works well across many hospitals so doctors can treat kids more safely.
