with hepatic and digestive chronic GvHD. McQuellon et al in 1198 reported that the recovery path of transplanted patients present a parabolic tendency improving after day 100. We observed a worse QoL by FACT-BMT on patients being on the 2 years post-HSCT. This suggests that the first years post-transplant is when the evaluation of the quality of life could bring more benefit to patients. When comparing the two tests used FACT-BMT (version 4) and SF-36, no statistically significant relationship was found between the results of both, which suggests that the application of a single test may be insufficient when assessing the patient's integral form. Allo-HSCT impacts on a negatively on QoL of patients, especially on those developing GvHD and we need to develop new tools allowing us to evaluate globally the patients.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
