Impact of Body Mass Index on Outcomes in Pediatric Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation Recipients: A Single-Center Retrospective Study
This study highlights the importance of nutritional assessment and management in pediatric patients undergoing allo-HSCT to optimize post-transplant outcomes, as deviations from a normal BMI can significantly impact post-transplant health. These findings underscore the importance of integrating BMI assessment throughout the entire pre-HSCT therapeutic course to identify patients at higher risk for complications and to define more effective nutritional management strategies.
