Neuropathy and Muscle Cramps in Autologous and Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation Survivors.

ABSTRACT: Although autologous and allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation are used to treat hematologic diseases, they are associated with high morbidity and mortality. The goal of this cross-sectional study was to describe the incidence, characteristics, severity and clinical correlates of neuropathy and muscle cramps, as self-reported by hematopoietic cell transplantation survivors. We included all respondents to a survey conducted July 1, 2020, to June 30, 2021. Surveys were completed online or on-paper according to participants' preferences; they received one reminder if no survey was received 1 month after distribution. Statistics are primarily descriptive comparing subgroups of patients. Of 4641 potentially eligible patients, 1745 responded and are included in the analysis. Participants
