Abstract:Objective: To verify the association between pre-HSCT functional capacity and the variables of pulmonary function, fatigue and length of hospital stay.
Methods: This is a cohort study, involving patients admitted to the Bone Marrow Transplantation. The individuals were submitted to an evaluation in the first 24 hours of hospitalization. The length of stay variable was checked on the day of hospital discharge. Functional capacity was assessed through the 6MWT, the 30-second sit-to-stand test (TSL30) was perfor… Show more
