Prevalence and Risk Factors of L‐Asparaginase‐Related Thrombosis Among Acute Lymphoblastic Lymphoma Patients in a Resource‐Limited Setup of Sub‐Saharan Region

This study showed that the risk of L-asparaginase-associated thrombosis in resource-limited settings like ours is comparable with previous reports from other parts of the world, but the mortality directly attributed to thrombosis is remarkably higher. Older age above 40 years and longer time to achieve CR are independent predictors of higher thrombosis risk. Future prospective studies need to look into the contributing factors, and preventive and treatment strategies.
