Introduction:

Pediatric patients with acute lymphoid leukemia are stratified into three risk groups: low, intermediate and high. There are conditions predictive of death in this group of patients that include clinical and laboratory indicators, which in relation to these factors develop organ insufficiencies during the disease.

Objective:

To relate the factors associated with mortality in pediatric patients diagnosed with acute lymphoid leukemia with organ failure.

Methods:

A bibliographic-documentary research on the subject was carried out. The Scielo and PubMed databases of the last ten years were fundamentally consulted.

Analysis and synthesis of information:

High-risk factors in severe pediatric patients with organ failure are described, from those already established in national and international protocols; as well as those that are triggered in patients with organic dysfunction and their relationship in the unfavorable evolution of the patient.

Conclusions:

A relationship was found between high risk factors in pediatric patients diagnosed with acute lymphoid leukemia with the development of organ failure as complications and death in these groups of patients.
