Impacts of Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation on Quality of Life and Behavioral Outcomes in Pediatric Patients with Leukemia and Thalassemia
This study demonstrates that quality of life improved and behavioral problems diminished over time following HSCT. However, the psychosocial impact of HSCT varied depending on the underlying disease, with children diagnosed with leukemia being slightly more adversely affected. These findings suggest that interventions aimed at improving quality of life and addressing behavioral issues should be tailored to the specific diagnosis.
