Relationship between work performance and quality of life in long-term survivors of pediatric and adolescent hematopoietic cell transplant.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To assess work status, missed time at work (absenteeism), work performance (presenteeism), and their relationship with quality of life (QOL) among long-term survivors of childhood hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT).

Methods

A single-center cross-sectional survey study of adult survivors of childhood allogeneic HCT (performed between 1985 and 2010). Work and QOL data were captured using the World Health Organization Health and Work Performance Questionnaire and the National Institutes of Health Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS), respectively. Higher absenteeism and presenteeism scores meant higher missed time at work and productivity, respectively. PROMIS domains were scored on a T-score metric with a mean score of reference population
