“Influence of Body Composition Assessed by Computed Tomography on Mortality in Older Adults Undergoing Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation”
Abstract:Aim: The incidence of most hematologic malignancies increases with age. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) provides a potentially life-prolonging or curative option for many patients in this scenario. Limited data is available on muscle mass and density assessed from CT-images on outcomes after HSCT. We aimed to evaluate the influence of body composition on morbidity and mortality in older adults undergoing (HSCT). Methods: Retrospective longitudinal study conducted with 50 patients ≥ 60 years unde… Show more
