Association of Patient-Reported Physical Activity on Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplant Outcomes.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Physical function prior to allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) is associated with survival and may be associated with patient physical activity (PA). Tools to evaluate PA prior to HCT are scarce. We aimed to evaluate the impact of easily obtained patient-report of PA prior to HCT on survival.

Methods

HCT recipients between January 1, 2011 and July 5, 2018 and who completed an International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form were included. This patient survey captures self-reported activities over the preceding week to determine PA level.

Results

We report a retrospective study of 587 adult (age ≥18) HCT recipients. The median age for the cohort was 57.9 years (range 19.9-76.1) with 149 patients (25.4%) age ≥65. Younger patients reported h
