At-home autologous hematopoietic cell transplant for adults with hematological malignancies. How frailty impacts and evolves during HCT procedure. An observational, longitudinal, and prospective study
There was no association between the duration of at-home transplant hospitalisation and readmissions and the presence of frailty syndrome. Moreover, no patient died due to transplant-related toxicity. The results presented in this study support that at-home auto-HCT can be performed in fit, pre-frail, and frail adults with an experienced and multidisciplinary team. Although conclusions are limited by the reduced sample size, the observed differences on frailty incidences during patient's follow-up support that frailty is dynamic, and potentially amendable with specific interventions.
