Morphofunctional parameters as predictors of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation outcomes.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

There is a lack of predictive factors for specific complications in patients who undergo autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. A complete morphofunctional assessment is not usually performed before the procedure. Malnutrition is related to lower survival in cancer patients. Our aim is to identify both risk and protective factors for such complications to refine management and improve outcomes.

Methods

We have implemented the program 'RHeNutrir', which involves a systematic malnutrition and sarcopenia screening, as well as a complete nutritional and functional assessment of transplant candidates. We examined the predictive value of different morphofunctional, clinical and analytical parameters in the context of autologous transplantation.
