Patient-reported symptom burden and impact on daily activities in chronic graft-versus-host disease

Jingbo Yu et al.

Summary: This study investigated the symptom burden and impact on activities of daily living (ADL) in patients with chronic GVHD. The results showed a high symptom burden and significant interference with physical function and ADL in patients with chronic GVHD.

Impact of chronic graft-versus-host disease on quality of life and cognitive function of long-term transplant survivors after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation with total body irradiation

Isabella Gruber et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the impact of chronic Graft-versus-host disease (cGvHD) on cognitive function and quality of life in long-term hematopoietic stem cell transplant survivors. The results showed that active cGvHD had a negative impact on patients' quality of life, but did not impair cognitive function.

Summary: This study developed a standardized Post-transplant Multimorbidity Index (PTMI), with results showing that chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGvHD) was significantly associated with PTMI, while age and prior acute GvHD were not.

Late complications and quality of life assessment for survivors receiving allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation

Jaekyung Cheon et al.

Summary: The study found that younger patients, those with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, chronic graft-versus-host disease, and continuous use of immunosuppressants post-HSCT are at significant risk for poorer quality of life and depression. In addition, younger survivors tend to experience more fatigue and anxiety compared to older survivors, and females tend to have lower physical well-being and higher distress than males.

Sleep Disruption, Fatigue, and Depression as Predictors of 6-Year Clinical Outcomes Following Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation

Kelly E. Rentscher et al.

Summary: This study found that biobehavioral symptoms, such as depression, sleep disruption, and fatigue, may be associated with chronic graft-versus-host disease, disease relapse, and mortality in patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation. Specifically, sleep disruption and fatigue interference were identified as significant predictors of increased risk for relapse and mortality after HCT.

Burden and Needs of Patients with Severe GvHD from the Supportive and Palliative Care Perspective-A Literature Review

Freya Wenzel et al.

Summary: Severe graft-versus-host disease can lead to a change in treatment goals from curative to palliative care. Despite the lack of specific studies on this patient group, research in this area is necessary to optimize care for patients with severe forms of GvHD, who may have greater impairment and symptom burdens compared to milder cases.

Biobehavioral Research and Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation: Expert Review from the Biobehavioral Research Special Interest Group of the American Society for Transplantation and Cellular Therapy

Debra Lynch Kelly et al.

Summary: Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) is a potentially curative treatment for many hematologic conditions, but there are significant comorbidities that threaten survivorship. Stress-related biobehavioral processes impact immune recovery and function in HCT recipients, yet research in this area is lacking compared to other cancer populations.

Predictors of quality of life in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation survivors

Lisa Brice et al.

Summary: Factors such as time since transplant, female gender, attendance at outpatient appointments, health screening uptake, exercise, and resumption of travel were associated with improved QoL in long-term survivors of allo-HSCT, while chronic morbidities, psychological distress, failure to resume sexual activity, low income, and decline in work status were linked to impaired QoL.
