Host and clinical factors associated with IMI in children with
hematologic malignancies
Considering all cases with IMI compared with those who did not develop
IMI, Hispanic ethnicity was associated with an almost two-fold risk of
developing an IMI (OR: 1.94 [1.03-3.66], p=0.04). We also observed a
67% reduction in risk for cases diagnosed from 2016-2020 (OR: 0.33
[0.16-0.69], p=0.003). Children with lymphoma were less likely to
develop IMI (p=0.03) (Table 5 ).
