CRD SUMMARY:

This review compared dexamethasone with prednisone during induction chemotherapy in children with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia and found that dexamethasone was more efficacious than prednisone but was also associated with more toxicity. Therefore, it was unclear whether this short-term superiority would translate to superior overall survival with longer follow-up. These conclusions are likely to be reliable.
