Our results suggest that both preterm and postterm infants have an elevated risk of developing AML. In addition, postterm birth increased the risk of childhood leukemia and ALL in cohort studies. However, more studies are warranted to validate these results and explore the biologic mechanisms underlying these relationships.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
