Evaluating the efficacy and impact of neutropenic diet in pediatric hematology patients: a longitudinal cohort study on adherence, clinical outcomes, and socioeconomic factors
Our study does not support the strict adherence to the neutropenic diet, as there is no evidence of reduced infections and the dietary adherence also imposes an undue financial burden on patients. Instead, focusing on the safe acquisition of food, food processing, and proper hand cleanliness will probably provide superior protection against infection.
