Measure:Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplant Rate in the ALL Cohort
Time Frame:Up to 24 months
Safety Issue:
Description:The incidence of allogeneic stem cell transplant will be analyzed.
Measure:Changes Over Time in Patient Reported Outcomes (PRO) Scores in the ALL and NHL Cohorts
Time Frame:Up to 15 years
Safety Issue:
Description:The PRO scores will be measured by the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) for children and adolescents and European Quality-of-Life-5 Dimension (EQ-5D) for all participants.

Transformed total, physical health summary, and psychosocial health summary scores range from 0-100 with higher scores indicating better health-related quality of life. The EQ-5D is a generic questionnaire for assessing the participant's overall health status. The EQ-5D consists of a 5 dimension descriptive system including mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/comfort, and anxiety/depression and a visual analogue scale (EQ-VAS) which allows the respondent to record health. The VAS allows a participant to indicate self-reported health on a vertical scale, ranging from 0 (worst imaginable health state) to 100 (best imaginable health state). The PedsQL scores and EQ-5D scores will be reported.
