Age and Sex Differences in the Prevalence of Specific Comorbidities among Patients with Pediatric Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia and Lymphoblastic Lymphoma at Diagnosis

These findings are important as comorbidities can be considered in clinical decision-making in the management and treatment of these patients.
