Miller LJ, Halliday V, Snowden JA, Aithal GP, Lee J, Greenfield DM. Health professional attitudes and perceptions of prehabilitation and nutrition before haematopoietic cell transplantation. J Hum Nutr Diet 2024; 37:1007-1021. [PMID: 38696512 DOI: 10.1111/jhn.13315] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2023] [Accepted: 04/20/2024] [Indexed: 05/04/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Nutritional prehabilitation may improve haematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) outcomes, although little evidence exists. The present study aimed to understand healthcare professional (HCP) perceptions of prehabilitation and nutritional care pre-HCT in UK centres. METHODS An anonymous online survey (developed and refined via content experts and piloting) was administered via email to multidisciplinary HCPs in 39 UK adult centres, between July 2021 and June 2022. Data are presented as proportions of responses. Routine provision denotes that care was provided >70% of time. RESULTS Seventy-seven percent (n = 66) of HCPs, representing 61.5% (n = 24) of UK adult HCT centres, responded. All HCPs supported prehabilitation, proposing feasible implementation between induction chemotherapy (60.4%; n = 40) and first HCT clinic (83.3%; n = 55). Only 12.5% (n = 3) of centres had a dedicated prehabilitation service. Nutrition (87.9%; n = 58), emotional wellbeing (92.4%; n = 61) and exercise (81.8%; n = 54) were considered very important constituents. HCPs within half of the HCT centres (n = 12 centres) reported routine use of nutrition screening pre-HCT with a validated tool; 66.7% of HCPs (n = 36) reported using the malnutrition universal screening tool (MUST). Sixty-two percent (n = 41) of HCPs reported those at risk, received nutritional assessments, predominantly by dietitians (91.6%; n = 22) using the dietetic care process (58.3%; n = 14). Body mass index (BMI) was the most frequently reported body composition measure used by HCPs (70.2%, n = 33). Of 59 respondents, non-dietitians most routinely provided dietary advice pre-HCT (82.4%; n = 28 vs. 68%; n = 17, p = 0.2); including high-energy/protein/fat and neutropenic diet advice. Prophylactic enteral feeding pre-HCT was rare, indicated by low BMI and significant unintentional weight loss. Just under half (n = 25 of 59, 42.4%) HCPs reported exercise advice was given routinely pre-HCT. CONCLUSIONS Nutrition and prehabilitation pre-HCT are considered important and deliverable by HCPs, but current provision in UK centres is limited and inconsistent.

Transplant Cell Ther 2024:S2666-6367(24)00545-1. [PMID: 39053769 DOI: 10.1016/j.jtct.2024.07.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/07/2024] [Revised: 07/05/2024] [Accepted: 07/19/2024] [Indexed: 07/27/2024]
Abstract
Advances in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT) and supportive care over the past decade have reduced transplant and relapse-related mortality, leading to a greater number of long-term survivors. However, transplant-related late effects, such as cardiovascular disease (CVD) and metabolic diseases, are becoming significant concerns for this group. This review aims to address several key questions regarding cardiovascular late effects in alloHSCT recipients, including the long-term incidence of CVD-related events, the prevalence of risk factors, screening and management recommendations, and evidence for screening and prevention strategies. A literature search was conducted in PubMed Central using the National Library of Medicine search engine, covering all relevant research from inception to 2023. The initial search identified 751 research records, of which 41 were shortlisted based on specific criteria (≥18 years of age at the time of transplant, allogeneic transplant, and inclusion of more than 30 patients). Our review highlights published evidence confirming the increased CVD risk among alloHSCT recipients. This risk is especially pronounced among individuals who have developed traditional and modifiable risk factors or have been exposed to transplant-specific risk factors. Evidence of the use of traditional cardiac risk factor calculators in the alloHSCT population is limited, in addition, there is emerging evidence that general population calculators potentially underestimate CVD risk given the increased risk of CVD in the allogeneic group as a whole. Studies that develop and validate transplant recipient-specific CVD risk stratification tools appear to be severely lacking and the field's focus needs to be shifted here in the coming years. To improve patient engagement and adherence to CVD risk factor measures, we recommend that a multidisciplinary model involving both specialists and primary care physicians is crucial in ensuring regular follow-up in the community and to potentially improve adherence.

Abstract
As hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) and cellular therapy expand to new indications and international access improves, the volume of HCT performed annually continues to rise. Parallel improvements in HCT techniques and supportive care entails more patients surviving long-term, creating further emphasis on survivorship needs. Survivors are at risk for developing late complications secondary to pre-, peri- and post-transplant exposures and other underlying risk-factors. Guidelines for screening and preventive practices for HCT survivors were originally published in 2006 and updated in 2012. To review contemporary literature and update the recommendations while considering the changing practice of HCT and cellular therapy, an international group of experts was again convened. This review provides updated pediatric and adult survivorship guidelines for HCT and cellular therapy. The contributory role of chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) to the development of late effects is discussed but cGVHD management is not covered in detail. These guidelines emphasize special needs of patients with distinct underlying HCT indications or comorbidities (e.g., hemoglobinopathies, older adults) but do not replace more detailed group, disease, or condition specific guidelines. Although these recommendations should be applicable to the vast majority of HCT recipients, resource constraints may limit their implementation in some settings.

Abstract
Gastrointestinal acute graft-versus-host disease (GI-aGVHD) is a severe early complication following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). It has been shown that the intestinal microbiota plays a critical role in this process. As metabolites of the intestinal microbiota, short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are vital for maintaining the host-microbiota symbiotic equilibrium. This article provides an overview of the protective effect of SCFAs in the gastrointestinal tract, emphasizes their association with GI-aGVHD, and explores relevant research progress in prevention and treatment research.

Abstract
Pneumonia, as well as other types of acute and chronic lung injuries, remain the leading causes of death in individuals living with HIV. Individuals with HIV who are on antiretroviral therapy continue to have a greater risk for pneumonia, including bacterial and mycobacterial infections. Alveolar macrophages and lung epithelial cells constitute the first line of host defense against invading pathogens. The predisposition of individuals living with HIV to infections despite ante-retroviral therapy is mechanistically related to HIV pro-viruses integrating into host cells, including airway epithelial cells and alveolar macrophages. Alveolar macrophages harbor latent HIV even when individuals appear to have complete suppression on ART. In parallel, pneumonia can irreversibly impair lung function in HIV-infected individuals. Cells that Macrophages exposed to HIV or HIV-related proteins have been shown to secrete exosomes that contain miRNAs. These exosomes can regulate several innate and acquired immune functions by stimulating cytokine production and inflammatory responses. Furthermore, these secreted exosomal miRNAs can shuttle between cells, causing cellular dysfunction in the case of epithelial cells; they disrupt lung epithelial barrier dysfunction, which leads to a predisposition to bacterial infections. We discuss the common bacterial infections that occur in patients living with HIV and provide mechanistic insights into how the intercellular communication of miRNAs results in cellular dysfunction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Malnutrition is common in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) patients. However, there are few studies on the association between malnutrition and post-transplant outcomes, with inconsistent results. No standard screening tool has been established for malnutrition in these patients. Previous research suggests the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria is effective in predicting outcomes in other cancers. This study investigates the link between malnutrition based on the GLIM criteria with mortality and complications following allogeneic HSCT. METHODS This single-center, observational, longitudinal, and prospective study of 98 adult leukemia patients at the Hematology Center of Shariati Hospital in Tehran, Iran, monitored patients before transplantation until 100 days after the procedure, focusing on overall survival and mortality as a primary outcome, and secondary endpoints including oral mucositis, acute GVHD, infection during hospitalization, and readmission rates. RESULTS This study involved 98 allogeneic HSCT patients with a median age of 38 years old, 64.3 % with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and 35.7 % with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Among them, 26.5 % were categorized as malnourished based on GLIM criteria. During 100 days of follow-up, 13 patients died, but there was no significant difference in overall survival and mortality between malnourished and well-nourished patients. Malnourished patients demonstrated a noticeable upward trend in the incidence of oral mucositis, hospital readmission, and infection during their hospitalization. It is important to highlight that although this observed trend is discernible, it did not attain statistical significance in statistical analyses (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION The current study determined that, when assessed using the GLIM criteria, malnutrition did not exert a statistically significant influence on survival, mortality, or complications within the specified age range of 18-55 years, underscoring its limited impact on this cohort of younger patients.

Abstract
With advancements in cancer treatment and supportive care, there is a growing population of childhood cancer survivors who experience a substantial burden of comorbidities related to having received cancer treatment at a young age. Despite an overall reduction in the incidence of most chronic health conditions in childhood cancer survivors over the past several decades, the cumulative incidence of certain late effects, in particular diabetes mellitus (DM), has increased. The implications are significant, because DM is a key risk factor for cardiovascular disease, a leading cause of premature death in childhood cancer survivors. The underlying pathophysiology of DM in cancer survivors is multifactorial. DM develops at younger ages in survivors compared to controls, which may reflect an "accelerated aging" phenotype in these individuals. The treatment-related exposures (i.e., chemotherapy, radiation) that increase risk for DM in childhood cancer survivors may be more than additive with established DM risk factors (e.g., older age, obesity, race, and ethnicity). Emerging research also points to parallels in cellular processes implicated in aging- and cancer treatment-related DM. Still, there remains marked inter-individual variability regarding risk of DM that is not explained by demographic and therapeutic risk factors alone. Recent studies have highlighted the role of germline genetic risk factors and epigenetic modifications that are associated with risk of DM in both the general and oncology populations. This review summarizes our current understanding of recognized risk factors for DM in childhood cancer survivors to help inform targeted approaches for disease screening, prevention, and treatment. Furthermore, it highlights the existing scientific gaps in understanding the relative contributions of individual therapeutic exposures and the mechanisms by which they exert their effects that uniquely predispose this population to DM following cancer treatment.

Abstract
Many patients with hematological malignancies, such as acute myeloid leukemia, receive an allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) to cure their underlying condition. Allogeneic HCT recipients are exposed to various elements during the pre-, peri- and post-transplant period that can disrupt intestinal microbiota, including chemo- and radiotherapy, antibiotics, and dietary changes. The dysbiotic post-HCT microbiome is characterized by low fecal microbial diversity, loss of anaerobic commensals, and intestinal domination, particularly by Enterococcus species, and is associated with poor transplant outcomes. Graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) is a frequent complication of allogeneic HCT caused by immunologic disparity between donor and host cells and results in tissue damage and inflammation. Microbiota injury is particularly pronounced in allogeneic HCT recipients who go on to develop GvHD. At present, manipulation of the microbiome for example, via dietary interventions, antibiotic stewardship, prebiotics, probiotics, or fecal microbiota transplantation, is widely being explored to prevent or treat gastrointestinal GvHD. This review discusses current insights into the role of the microbiome in GvHD pathogenesis and summarizes interventions to prevent and treat microbiota injury.

Dos Santos Nunes Pereira AC, Chahin BM, Tarzia A, Vilela RM. Nutritional status and prognosis in children with immunodeficiencies undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Clin Nutr ESPEN 2022; 52:1-11. [PMID: 36513439 DOI: 10.1016/j.clnesp.2022.09.027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2022] [Revised: 08/29/2022] [Accepted: 09/26/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Primary immunodeficiencies (PID) are diseases resulting from genetic dysfunctions in the immune system, which can result in recurrent infections, autoimmunity and even malignancy. It is estimated that approximately one-third of the PID described have gastrointestinal components or symptoms involved and may present an increased risk of weight loss and failure to thrive. It is also known that, in patients with other diagnoses, malnutrition may be associated with worse outcomes after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). OBJECTIVE to characterize the nutritional status of pediatric patients with PID at the time of admission for HSCT and to establish the relationship between baseline nutritional status measures and post-HSCT clinical outcomes. METHODS a retrospective analytical observational study, based on data from pediatric patients, of both sexes and all ethnicities, with PID, submitted to HSCT in the period from 2004 to 2019. The risk factors analyzed were the Z-scores of weights for age (W/A), height for age (H/A), BMI for age (BMI/A) and Sum score, obtained by through the sum of the W/A and H/A scores. The primary outcomes were overall survival at 6 months, occurrence of acute Graft Versus Host Disease (aGVHD) at 6 months, and occurrence of chronic Graft Versus Host Disease (cGVHD) at 1 year. Secondary outcomes were occurrence and degree of mucositis, length of stay, and total number of infectious episodes. As statistical analysis, the ANOVA model, the Tukey test, ROC curves and Kaplan Meier and Log-Rank analysis were used. Multivariate survival and logistic regression models were also performed. RESULTS The study showed important indicators of malnutrition in patients with PID, especially those diagnosed with Severe Combined Immunodeficiency Syndrome (SCID) and Hemophagocytic Syndromes (HS). Among those with SCID, 60% had low or very low weight for their age, 52% had low or very short stature for their age, and 44% were classified as being thin or very thin. Among patients with HS, 75% had short or very short stature for their age. Multivariate analysis only demonstrated association between W/A score with extensive cGVHD, controlling for diagnosis, compatibility, conditioning and immunoprophylaxis. Lower W/A values were associated with higher occurrences of these events. Although W/A was only associated with cGVHD and H/A had no association with chronic or acute GVHD, when Sum scores were used, the lower values the higher rates of severe aGVHD and total cGVHD according to multivariate controlled models for diagnosis, compatibility, conditioning and immunoprophylaxis. CONCLUSIONS Our study characterized the nutritional status of children with PID undergoing HSCT and found alarming rates of underweight and short stature in patients with SCID and HS. We also demonstrated a relationship between anthropometric parameters and outcomes such as mortality, the occurrence of GVHD and severe mucositis after HSCT. In this sense, W/A and Sum score measures would be good prognostic methods for these outcomes. Henceforth, prospective studies are needed to confirm these findings and establish new nutritional assessment criteria for this population.

Abstract
Both quality and quantity of skeletal muscle are considered important for prognostic factors and clinical outcomes in solid cancers. However, few studies have examined both quality and quantity of skeletal muscle in patients with hematological malignancies. The aim of the present study was to clarify the prevalence of low skeletal muscle quantity and quality and their associated factors in patients before allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). Pretransplant plain CT imaging at the third lumber vertebra level was used to measure the psoas muscle mass index (PMI) and the intramuscular adipose tissue content (IMAC) in 113 adult patients (age 47.1 ± 14.6 years) before HSCT. We analyzed the factors associated with PMI and IMAC, respectively. Although 62.8% of all patients had low skeletal muscle mass, only 8% had poor skeletal muscle quality. Multivariable logistic analysis showed that older age [odds ratio (OR) = 2.45, confidence interval (CI) = 1.04-5.76, P = 0.04], male (OR = 4.35, CI = 0.05-0.97, P = 0.04), and low BMI (OR = 0.83, CI = 0.71-0.97, P = 0.02) were independent risk factors for low PMI before HSCT. Only age (≤ 50 years) was significantly associated with muscle quality (modified OR = 0.07, CI = 0.00-0.43, P < 0.01) in univariate analysis. Most patients already showed low skeletal muscle mass before allo-HSCT although skeletal muscle quality was relatively preserved. These results may be indicative of pre-cachexia and may be useful for its long-term management in allo-HSCT patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND 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 assessed from computed tomography (CT) images are available on muscle mass and density outcomes after HSCT. We 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 old undergoing HSCT. Body composition was assessed by chest CT (CCT), and treatment-related mortality, graft-vs-host disease (GVHD), neutrophil grafting, and overall survival were analyzed. RESULTS 148 HSCT patients were evaluated; 50 patients were eligible: 60% with autologous and 40% with allogeneic transplantation. Body mass index in patients was (female: 26.9 ± 4.7 kg/m2 ; male: 30.1 ± 4.9 kg/m2 ) - autologous and, (female: 24.3 ± 5.1 kg/m2 ; male: 26.4 ± 2.0 kg/m2 ) - allogeneic. In the autologous group, we found a positive association between age and death risk, with 63.5% increased risk of death (P = 0.006), and also Karnofsky Performance Score, with a 11.9% decrease in death risk (P < 0.001). A negative association between muscle radiodensity and death risk was observed in patients who received an allogeneic transplantation, with a risk decrease of 20.1% (P = 0.032). We found a positive association between the fourth thoracic vertebra muscle area and radiodensity and risk of acute GVHD (P = 0.028). CONCLUSION Body composition assessed by CCT showed the importance of radiodensity for better prognosis.

Abstract
According to World Health Organization, over 50,000 hematopoietic stem cell transplants (HSCTs) are performed annually worldwide. Though HSCT can extend life-expectancy and improve disease-related health burdens, it is not without risks. Post-transplant overall survival is improving; therefore, it is imperative that factors contributing to or impeding further improvements are well understood. The purpose of this systematic review is to explore current data on body composition (specifically weight loss, BMI, obesity and sarcopenia) and the relation to HSCT outcomes. A literature search was conducted via PubMed and Web of Science databases. Key words included "body composition," "sarcopenia," "hematopoietic stem cell transplant," "malnutrition," "body mass index," and "obesity." Results indicated that 16 out of 18 analyzed studies found a statistically significant relationship between body composition, in particular higher BMI and weight loss, and at least one survival-related outcome variable (eg., non-relapse mortality, overall survival and/or relapse). Based on the findings of this review, body composition, whether evaluated before or during HSCT, can impact a wide variety of post-transplant outcomes. This speaks to the importance of evaluating patients pre-transplant, identifying potential risk factors for worsened outcomes, and providing immediate interventions in order to optimize transplant outcomes.

Abstract
Outcome of allogeneic stem cell transplantation (alloSCT) is hampered by substantial non-relapse mortality (NRM). Given its impact on organ function and immune response, the nutritional status has been suggested as relevant for NRM. We aimed to evaluate the association of NRM with nutritional status prior to alloSCT and in the post-SCT course. In a retrospective single-center study, we analyzed 128 alloSCTs. Besides standard characteristics, nutrition-associated parameters BMI, serum total protein, and serum albumin were recorded before conditioning and at various time points after alloSCT. Association with NRM was evaluated by univariate and multivariate survival analysis. The cohort comprised patients with a median BMI of 26 kg/m2 (16.7–46.9 kg/m2), median serum total protein of 59 g/l (41–77 g/l), and serum albumin of 36 g/l (22–46 g/l) before SCT. NRM at d+100 was 14.8% and at 1 year 26.6%. Prior to SCT, only serum albumin deficiency was associated with increased NRM (p = .010) in multivariate analysis. After SCT (d+30 and d+100), all nutrition-associated parameters decreased (p < .002), but no association of deteriorating nutritional status with NRM was found. In multivariate analysis, serum albumin (p = .03) and severe albumin deficiency (p = .02) correlated with NRM at d+30 and d+100, while BMI and serum total protein did not. In our study, albumin deficiency, particularly prior to alloSCT, shows a strong correlation with NRM. This finding may add to monitoring, risk evaluation, and counseling of patients and serve as a rational for interventions to improve the nutritional status in patients undergoing SCT.

Abstract
The Brazilian Nutritional Consensus in Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation: Children and Adolescents was developed by dietitians, physicians, and pediatric hematologists from 10 Brazilian reference centers in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The aim was to emphasize the importance of nutritional status and body composition during treatment, as well as the main characteristics related to patient´s nutritional assessment. This consensus is intended to improve and standardize nutrition therapy during hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The consensus was approved by the Brazilian Society of Bone Marrow Transplantation.

Abstract
Cardiopulmonary performance reflects how well different organ systems interact. It is inter alia influenced by body composition, determines patients' quality of life and can also predict mortality. However, it is not yet used for risk prediction prior to allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantations (alloHCT). Thus, we aimed to examine the predictive power of peak oxygen consumption (VO2peak) as a representative of cardiopulmonary performance and that of body composition before alloHCT to determine overall survival (OS) and non-relapse mortality (NRM) 2 years after transplantation. We also compared it with the predictive power of four commonly-used risk scores: revised Pretransplant Assessment of Mortality (rPAM), Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation-specific Comorbidity Index (HCT-CI), revised Disease Risk Index (rDRI), European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT). Fifty-nine patients performed a cardiopulmonary exercise test and body composition assessments before alloHCT and were observed for 2 years. Sixteen patients died. VO2peak and most risk scores assessed pre-transplant revealed no association with OS or NRM. Body composition parameters only within univariable analyses. But higher rDRI and the male sex, were associated with shorter OS and higher NRM. We thus propose that the current risk assessments be reconsidered. The predictive value of VO2peak and body composition need further clarification, however.

Abstract
RATIONALE Many studies have shown the importance of body composition parameters, muscle, and fat mass, evaluated by several methods in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) outcomes. Ultrasound (US) is an efficient and low-cost method to evaluate body composition, even though there have not been many studies in HSCT. OBJECTIVES Our goal was to investigate the muscle, visceral fat (VF), and echogenicity before HSCT and after engraftment, evaluated by US and its association with outcomes. METHODS All adult patients with hematological malignances admitted for HSCT autologous and allogeneic were eligible to enter this prospective study. Their thigh muscle thickness, VF, and echogenicity were evaluated by US on the first day of hospitalization (baseline) and after engraftment (15-25 days post-HSCT). RESULTS We evaluated 50 patients; 42% were male and 58% had undergone allogeneic HSCT. Most patients were <55 years old (68%) and had normal body mass index (50%). We found a significant reduction of right and left muscle thickness (P < .001) and echogenicity (P = .002) after engraftment compared with baseline. Our elderly patients had significantly bigger right-thigh muscle thickness (P = .02) and more VF (P = .009). The following data were higher in obese patients: right and left muscle thickness (P < .001), VF (P = .003), and echogenicity (P = .04). Death in the first 100 days had a positive association with obesity (P = 0.001) and VF (P = .002). VF was the only variable independent of HSCT type and age in mortality risk. CONCLUSION Obesity and VF had an important impact in mortality. US could be a useful tool and strategy for evaluating body composition in HSCT patients.

Abstract
Changes in body composition related to metabolic syndrome are frequent among survivors of haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), but insights into predisposing factors are incomplete, and it is unknown to what degree these changes persist at long term. We cross-sectionally investigated body composition by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry in 98 male survivors of paediatric allogeneic HSCT. Median (range) age at follow-up was 28.1 (18.5-47.0) years and median (range) time from transplant was 18.3 (7.7-34.6) years. Lean Body Mass Index and Skeletal Muscle Mass Index were lower in patients compared to the reference population (mean (SD) standard deviation score (SDS) -1.29 (0.99), p < 0.001 and -1.20 (1.03), p < 0.001). Fat Mass Index was comparable to the reference population, but android/gynoid (AG) fat ratio SDS was higher (mean (SD) 0.46 (1.28), p < 0.001). These changes were found in patients treated with total body irradiation (TBI) as well as non-TBI regimens, although most pronounced in the former. Further, low lean mass was associated with chronic graft-versus-host disease, while high AG ratio was associated with lower testosterone levels. Since the combination of low lean mass and high AG ratio increases the risk of cardio-metabolic disease, these health issues should be monitored at long-term clinical follow-up after paediatric HSCT.

Abstract
It has been identified that malnutrition can influence the immune system and time of engraftment, and it's also associated with increased incidence of complications, prolonged length of hospital stays, and transplant mortality and morbidity in patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), so dynamic nutrition care is highly important. The aim of this study was to better understand the differences between clinical nutrition practices and international recommendations as well as possible barriers to the use of nutrition support in HSCT patients. An evidence-based nutrition support pathway was constructed through a systematic literature review to identify evidence and recommendations relating to the relevant issues. Then, a questionnaire consisting of 28 questions that focused on the 4 topics, namely, assessment and screening for malnutrition, nutrition support interventions, nutrition support in gastrointestinal graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and neutropenic diet was developed by the study authors and used for data collection. Responses of 18 HSCT centers from 17 provinces were received. General assessment for malnutrition was performed at 72% (13/18) centers. Parenteral nutrition (PN) was given as the first option to HSCT patients in the majority of centers, despite the fact that current guidelines recommend enteral nutrition (EN) over PN. As many as 72% (13/18) of the centers considered a neutropenic diet in the management of HSCT patients, but only one center had a formal neutropenic diet protocol in place for transplant recipients. Criteria for initiating nutrition support in patients with gastrointestinal GVHD were heterogeneous among the centers, and PN was the most widely used technique. The survey results revealed significant heterogeneity with regard to nutrition support practices among the centers, as well as between the practices and the guidelines. Standard nutrition support guidelines or protocols for nutrition support practices were absent in most of the centers.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Malnutrition in patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) can develop rapidly without appropriate nutritional support and affect morbidity and mortality. Guidance to monitor and manage nutrition status is described within the literature; however, whether this is applied in clinical practice is unclear. METHODS This paper describes a cross-sectional survey to explore current practice approaches in nutrition support management and adherence to international guidelines. RESULTS A total of 108 nurses from 108 centers across 16 countries replied to the questionnaire. A significant variation was observed regarding the availability of documents supporting the monitoring and management of nutrition status, application of recommendations, and nutritional practices. DISCUSSION The findings revealed that country was the most important factor influencing the differences in practice; however, significant differences were also observed based on patient age group (pediatrics vs. adults), department composition (hematology + HSCT unit vs. HSCT unit alone), and availability of nutrition health care professionals. Behavioral differences regarding nutritional practice approaches could be indicative of differences in knowledge or subject awareness, as well as a reflection of diversity across health care system policies. CONCLUSIONS Guideline dissemination and raising awareness through educational campaigns are suggested approaches to improve health care professionals' knowledge and sensitivity to this important topic.

Abstract
There is a paucity of information about nutrition in chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). The role of nutrition is important because malnutrition is strongly associated with severe chronic GVHD manifestations. There is a high prevalence of metabolic syndrome and osteoporosis in this setting. Here we review the literature, describe main aspects of nutrition and discuss macronutrients (ie, vitamins), micronutrients (ie, Mg, Zn, Ca, and K) and supplements (probiotics and omega 3 fatty acids). A search was carried out in March 2020 using PubMed. Databases were screened for searching terms in titles and abstracts referring to chronic GVHD, nutrition intervention, protein, and body composition. Data were extracted for the following outcomes: nutrition, nutrition intervention, chronic GVHD, nutrition deficiencies, diet, vitamin, dry eye, probiotic, protein, and body composition. In this report, we summarize interventional nutrition studies reported in oncology and metabolic syndrome settings and describe our nutritional clinical practice in hematopoietic cell transplantation and chronic GVHD. The impact of nutrition evaluation and intervention on muscle mass loss, dry eye, dysgeusia, metabolic syndrome, osteoporosis, and comorbidities associated with chronic GVHD need to be studied prospectively.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study investigated the frequency and characteristics of sarcopenia among patients after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) with a specific focus on the chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) population and its association with malnutrition, vitamin D and clinical characteristics. METHODS We assessed sarcopenia, vitamin D levels, and nutritional status in 73 patients who underwent allo-HSCT, of which 45 were diagnosed with cGVHD. Sarcopenia was diagnosed according to the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP) criteria. RESULTS Sarcopenia was diagnosed in 19.2% of patients after allo-HSCT with statistically no significant difference between cGVHD and non-cGVHD patients. The risk factor for sarcopenia was the male gender. Sarcopenia in allo-HSCT patients correlated strongly with malnutrition and with current corticosteroid treatment (p < 0.005). Among cGVHD patients sarcopenia additionally correlated strongly with the number of prior systemic immunosuppressive therapy lines (p < 0.005) and moderately with the intensity of immunosuppression, cGVHD severity global rating assessed by both the health care provider and the patient and joint and fascia cGVHD involvement (p < 0.05). Vitamin D deficiency was found in more than 54.8% of patients, but the correlation to sarcopenia was not found. CONCLUSION Sarcopenia was found to be common in long term survivors of allo-HSCT independently of the cGVHD diagnosis. Prospective longitudinal studies are needed for a better understanding of factors affecting the development of sarcopenia after allo-HSCT.

Gait Analysis of Patients After Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation Reveals Impairments of Functional Performance. Integr Cancer Ther 2020; 19:1534735420915782. [PMID: 32368937 PMCID: PMC7236089 DOI: 10.1177/1534735420915782] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: After allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation
(alloHCT), patients often report functional impairments like reduced gait speed
and muscle weakness. These impairments can increase the risk of adverse health
events similar to elderly populations. However, they have not been quantified in
patients after alloHCT (PATs). Methods: We compared fear of falling
(Falls Efficacy Scale–International) and temporal gait parameters recorded on a
10-m walkway at preferred and maximum gait speed and under dual-task walking of
16 PATs (aged 31-73 years) with 15 age-matched control participants (CONs) and
17 seniors (SENs, aged >73 years). Results: Groups’ gait
parameters especially differed during the maximum speed condition: PATs walked
slower and required more steps/10 m than CONs. PATs exhibited greater stride,
stance, and swing times than CONs. PATs’ swing time was even longer than SENs’.
The PATs’ ability to accelerate their gait speed from preferred to fast was
smaller compared with CONs’. PATs reported a greater fear of falling than CONs
and SENs. Conclusion: Gait analysis of alloHCT patients has
revealed impairments of functional performance. Patients presented a diminished
ability to accelerate gait and extending steps possibly related to a notable
strength deficit that impairs power-generation abilities from lower extremities.
Furthermore, patients reported a greater fear of falling than control
participants and even seniors. Slowing locomotion could be a risk-preventive
safety strategy. Since functional disadvantages may put alloHCT patients at a
higher risk of frailty, reinforcing appropriate physical exercises already
during and after alloHCT could prevent adverse health events and reduce the risk
of premature functional aging.

Abstract
The nutritional status of patients submitted to hematopoietic stem cell transplant is considered an independent risk factor, which may influence on quality of life and tolerance to the proposed treatment. The impairment of nutritional status during hematopoietic stem cell transplant occurs mainly due to the adverse effects resulting from conditioning to which the patient is subjected. Therefore, adequate nutritional evaluation and follow-up during hematopoietic stem cell transplant are essential. To emphasize the importance of nutritional status and body composition during treatment, as well as the main characteristics related to the nutritional assessment of the patient, the Brazilian Consensus on Nutrition in Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant: Adults was prepared, aiming to standardize and update Nutritional Therapy in this area. Dietitians, nutrition physicians and hematologists from 15 Brazilian centers thar are references in hematopoietic stem cell transplant took part.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Malnutrition is a common finding in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT) patients, and there is some evidence that malnutrition might negatively affect the transplant outcomes. METHOD We performed a retrospective study with 148 patients aged 18-75 years, who underwent alloHSCT between 2011 and 2017. Patients were classified according to the body mass index (BMI) and the Subjective Global Assessment (SGA). The SGA was assessed on the day of hospitalization for the transplant, and classifies patients into three groups: A (well-nourished), B (moderately malnourished) and C (severely malnourished). RESULTS The SGA classified 49 (33%) patients as well-nourished, 54 (37%) as moderately malnourished, and 45 (30%) as severely malnourished. SGA-C was also associated with severe acute graft versus host disease (aGVHD) with a cumulative incidence (CI) of 31% vs. a CI of 14% for combined well-nourished or moderately malnourished group (SGA-A or -B, P = 0.017). In multivariate analysis, SGA-C compared to SGA-A or -B, remained as an independent risk factor for aGVHD (hazard ratio - HR 1.68, 95% confidence interval - 95% CI 1.02-2.74), and nonrelapse mortality (NRM - HR 3.63, 95% CI 1.76-7.46), worse progression free survival (HR 2.12, 95% CI 1.25-3.60), and worse overall survival (HR 3.27, 95% CI 1.90-5.64). CONCLUSION Malnutrition increases the risk of aGVHD and NRM and has a negative impact on survival.

Abstract
The Brazilian Nutritional Consensus in Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation: Elderly was elaborated by nutritionists, nutrologists and hematologists physicians from 15 Brazilians reference centers in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, in order to emphasize the importancy of nutritional status and the body composition during the treatment, as well as the main characteristics related to patient's nutritional assessment. Establishing the consensus, we intended to improve and standardize the nutritional therapy during the hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The Consensus was approved by the Brazilian Society of Bone Marrow Transplantation.

Sarcopenic obesity derived from PET/CT predicts mortality in lymphoma patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Curr Res Transl Med 2018; 67:93-99. [PMID: 30583985 DOI: 10.1016/j.retram.2018.12.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/05/2018] [Revised: 11/07/2018] [Accepted: 12/15/2018] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Sarcopenic Obesity (SO) is associated with worse survival among chemotherapy recipients. Research on SO is scarce among lymphoma patients receiving Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT). AIM assess prevalence of SO pre-HSCT (T0) and 3 months post-HSCT (T1) in lymphoma patients and determine the power of SO at T0 and T1 in predicting survival. METHODS Consecutive patients (age ≥16 years) having B and T cell lymphoma who underwent SCT and who had PET/CT scan pre-SCT and 3 months post SCT were included in the study. A cross sectional image was analyzed at the level of the 3rd Lumber Vertebrae to assess body composition parameters. RESULTS 93 patients [mean age: 38 (range: 17-70 years), 52 (55.9%) males, 45 (48%) Hodgkin and 48 (52%) Non-Hodgkin lymphoma, 81 (87%) autologous and 12 (13%) allogeneic SCT)] met the inclusion criteria. From T0 to T1, Sarcopenia rates increased (27% at T0 to 38% at T1, p = 0.013), Visceral adiposity decreased (46% at T0 to 30% at T1, p = 0.03) and SO decreased (42% at T0 to 20% at T1, p < 0.01). Length of stay, overall survival and progression free survival were significantly better in patients without sarcopenic obesity at T1. Cox-regression revealed SO at T1 was a risk factor for mortality [Adjusted Hazards Ratio = 8.2 (95% Confidence Interval: 1.9-36.2)]. CONCLUSION Sarcopenic obesity, prevalent in 42% of patients pre-HSCT, decreased 3 months post HSCT as lymphoma patients lost skeletal muscle and visceral adipose tissues. SO at T1 was the most impactful risk factor for mortality.

BMC Cancer 2018; 18:920. [PMID: 30253746 PMCID: PMC6156963 DOI: 10.1186/s12885-018-4813-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/29/2018] [Accepted: 09/12/2018] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hospitalized cancer patients undergoing intensive or high-dose chemotherapy often experience a considerable decline in functional performance associated with the increased risk of adverse health events. Exercises, particularly resistance-based exercises that may counteract this decline are restricted by therapy-related side effects. Since whole body vibration (WBV) is known to efficiently stimulate the neuromuscular system without significantly raising blood pressure, we hypothesize that especially WBV is particularly feasible even during intensive or high-dose chemotherapy (primary endpoint) and thus induces beneficial functional adaptations. METHODS Twenty hospitalized patients with hematological malignancies scheduled for intensive or high-dose chemotherapy were randomly allocated to an intervention group (IG) undergoing WBV, or an active control group (CG) cycling. Feasibility was determined by comparing the IG's and CG's training compliance. Furthermore, to assess feasibility, WBV-induced changes in chemotherapy-related side effects, blood pressure, and heart rate immediately after exercising were documented. To assess patients' functional performance, we measured jump height (cm), the duration (sec) of performing the chair rising- (CRT) and timed-up-and-go test (TUG), maximum power output during jumping and CRT (watt/kg) as well as sway path (mm) during balance tasks. RESULTS Training compliance was similar between groups (IG: median 62%, range 39-77; CG: 67%, 58-100; p = 0.315). Moreover, we observed neither the IG's reported side effects worsening, nor any increase in blood pressure after WBV. IG's jump height (+ 2.3 cm, 95%CI 0.1-4.4, p = 0.028) and TUG performance (- 1.3 s, 95%CI -2.53 - -0.65, p = 0.027) improved significantly, while sway paths in semi-tandem stance were augmented after the intervention (eyes open: + 60 mm, 95%CI 2-236, p = 0.046; eyes closed: + 88 mm, 95%CI 49-214, p = 0.028). The CG's performances did not change over time. Maximum power output during CMJ and CRT and time during CRT did not change. CONCLUSION Our study is the first proving the feasibility of WBV during intensive/high-dose chemotherapy of hospitalized cancer patients. Additionally, WBV-induced neuromuscular adaptations resulted in functional benefits relevant to patients' autonomy. We believe that WBV can be implemented as an alternative training method during intensive chemotherapy, although the relative benefit compared to conventional resistance training requires more evaluation in future studies.

Abstract
Allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is considered to be the strongest curative immunotherapy for various malignancies (primarily, but not limited to, haematologic malignancies). However, application of allo-HSCT is limited owing to its life-threatening major complications, such as graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), relapse and infections. Recent advances in large-scale DNA sequencing technology have facilitated rapid identification of the microorganisms that make up the microbiota and evaluation of their interactions with host immunity in various diseases, including cancer. This has resulted in renewed interest regarding the role of the intestinal flora in patients with haematopoietic malignancies who have received an allo-HSCT and in whether the microbiota affects clinical outcomes, including GVHD, relapse, infections and transplant-related mortality. In this Review, we discuss the potential role of intestinal microbiota in these major complications after allo-HSCT, summarize clinical trials evaluating the microbiota in patients who have received allo-HSCT and discuss how further studies of the microbiota could inform the development of strategies that improve outcomes of allo-HSCT.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW A growing number of pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) survivors reach adulthood and face long-term health-related problems. We review risk factors and the prevalence of the metabolic syndrome (MetS), a cluster of obesity-related comorbidities, including abdominal obesity, atherogenic dyslipidemia, elevated blood pressure, impaired glucose metabolism, and type 2 diabetes in ALL and HSCT survivors. RECENT FINDINGS Components of the MetS are already detected during the first year of ALL maintenance therapy and significantly worsen over time. The prevalence of MetS increases at a faster rate in this setting than in the general population. Factors found to be of the greatest potential risk to the development of the MetS are central obesity, increased BMI, irradiation therapy, older age, poor diet, and low level of physical activity. The early onset of MetS and its components among ALL and HSCT survivors calls for early and continuous screening to identify those at risk and to implement preventive measures.

Abstract
Bone marrow transplantation (BMT) offers curative potential for patients with high-risk hematologic malignancies, but the post-transplantation period is characterized by profound immunodeficiency. Recent studies indicate that the intestinal microbiota not only regulates mucosal immunity, but can also contribute to systemic immunity and hematopoiesis. Using antibiotic-mediated microbiota depletion in a syngeneic BMT mouse model, here we describe a role for the intestinal flora in hematopoietic recovery after BMT. Depletion of the intestinal microbiota resulted in impaired recovery of lymphocyte and neutrophil counts, while recovery of the hematopoietic stem and progenitor compartments and the erythroid lineage were largely unaffected. Depletion of the intestinal microbiota also reduced dietary energy uptake and visceral fat stores. Caloric supplementation through sucrose in the drinking water improved post-BMT hematopoietic recovery in mice with a depleted intestinal flora. Taken together, we show that the intestinal microbiota contribute to post-BMT hematopoietic reconstitution in mice through improved dietary energy uptake.

Abstract
Sarcopenia, the loss of muscle mass, has been identified as a potential risk factor for adverse outcomes in hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) recipients. However, much remains unknown about change in body composition following HCT. We retrospectively evaluated computed tomography (CT) imaging from 315 lymphoma patients undergoing HCT at our institution between 2000 and 2014. Cross-sectional areas of lean muscle, subcutaneous adipose tissue, and visceral adipose tissue were measured on CT at the level of the third lumbar vertebral body before HCT, 1-year post-HCT, and 2.5 years post-HCT. The incidence of sarcopenia before HCT was 47% in the autologous HCT (auto-HCT) cohort (n = 218) and 55% in the allogeneic HCT (allo-HCT) cohort (n = 97). Older age (odds ratio [OR], 1.04; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.01 to 1.04; P < .001) and male sex (OR, 4.59; 95% CI, 1.42 to 4.93; P < .001) were associated with sarcopenia before HCT. Increasing body mass index (OR, .78; 95% CI, .73 to .84; P < .001) was protective against sarcopenia before HCT. A significant decline in total lean body mass (β = 1.96; 95% CI, .79 to 3.13; P = .001) and increased sarcopenia incidence (OR, 1.72; 95% CI, 1.13 to 2.62, P = .012) was observed over time for patients in the allo-HCT cohort when compared with the trend in the auto-HCT cohort. Both auto-HCT and allo-HCT recipients experienced an increase in total body fat mass over time (β = 3.75; 95% CI, 2.77 to 4.73; P < .001). In multivariate analysis of patients undergoing allo-HCT, the presence of sarcopenia on baseline imaging before HCT was associated with a lower risk of acute graft-versus-host disease (OR, .30; 95% CI, .09 to .98; P = .047). In conclusion, we found that total body fat mass increases after both auto-HCT and allo-HCT. Following allo-HCT, total lean body mass significantly decreases corresponding to increased incidence of sarcopenia. Future studies are needed to further characterize changes in body composition in HCT recipients and investigate its impact on HCT outcomes.

Abstract
Since its introduction more than 50 years ago, hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HSCT) has transformed from an inescapably fatal procedure to one where cure from malignant and other nonmalignant hematologic diseases is becoming increasingly common. Nevertheless, longevity is not entirely restored. New causes of mortality have emerged; of particular importance is that of increased cardiovascular disease (CVD), related to metabolic syndrome and its components. Controversy exists over whether the metabolic abnormalities induced are a direct effect of HSCT itself or a consequence of other therapies involved. Analysis of the mechanisms that promote the changes in metabolic components will give insight into future HSCT therapy as well as CVD pathogenesis and prevention.

Abstract
A number of studies have shown that autologous and allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) contribute to an increased incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and worsening of cardiovascular risk factors that could contribute to further CVD over time. These observations, combined with a notable increase in the number of survivors after HCT in recent years, highlight the need for studies aimed at modifying risk or preventing these outcomes by changing specific approaches and/or post-HCT interventions. To address these issues, the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute and National Cancer Institute co-sponsored an international initiative on late effects after HCT. This report summarizes the major gaps in knowledge along with detailed recommendations regarding study priorities from the Cardiovascular Disease and Associated Risk Factors Committee, a multidisciplinary panel of international experts. The committee calls for specific studies aimed at understanding and preventing arterial disease and cardiac dysfunction (heart failure, valvular disease, and arrhythmias), as well as decreasing cardiovascular risk factors (hypertension, hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, and sarcopenic obesity) after HCT.

Revisiting nutritional support for allogeneic hematologic stem cell transplantation-a systematic review. Bone Marrow Transplant 2017; 52:506-513. [PMID: 28067888 DOI: 10.1038/bmt.2016.310] [Citation(s) in RCA: 57] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/25/2016] [Revised: 10/05/2016] [Accepted: 10/17/2016] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
In 2009, the American Society of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition and its European counterpart (Euopean Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition) published guidelines regarding nutritional support of patients with hematologic stem cell transplantation. Our aim was to do an up-to-date literature review regarding benefit of nutritional interventions and treatment recommendations. We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE and Cochrane Library for interventional and observational clinical studies. We extracted data based on a predefined case report form and assessed bias. Out of 459 potential abstracts, 13 studies of mostly moderate quality with a total of 18 167 patients were included. Two very large trials reported negative associations of malnutrition and survival, transplant-related mortality and relapse risk. Some trials found enteral nutrition (EN) to be as effective as parenteral nutrition (PN) with lower complication rates. In addition, EN was associated with better survival, less acute GvHD and faster neutrophil recovery. A neutropenic diet was not superior regarding overall survival, but in contrast resulted in higher infection risk. Current moderate quality studies show negative associations of malnutrition and clinical outcomes, with EN being superior to PN. There was no benefit of neutropenic diets. Large, randomized controlled studies are needed to better understand optimal nutritional support in this patient population.

Abstract
Intensive cancer treatment followed by hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) results in moderate to severe fatigue and physical inactivity, leading to diminished functional ability. The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of an exercise intervention, strength training to enhance early recovery (STEER), on physical activity, fatigue, muscle strength, functional ability, and quality of life after HCT. This single-blind, randomized clinical trial compared strength training (n = 33) to usual care plus attention control with health education (UC + AC with HE) (n = 34). Subjects were stratified by type of transplantation and age. STEER consisted of a comprehensive program of progressive resistance introduced during hospitalization and continued for 6 weeks after hospital discharge. Fatigue, physical activity, muscle strength, functional ability, and quality of life were assessed before HCT hospital admission and after intervention completion. Data were analyzed using split-plot analysis of variance. Significant time × group interactions effects were noted for fatigue (P = .04). The STEER group reported improvement in fatigue from baseline to after intervention whereas the UC + AC with HE group reported worsened fatigue from baseline to after intervention. Time (P < .001) and group effects (P = .05) were observed for physical activity. Physical activity declined from baseline to 6 weeks after hospitalization. The STEER group was more physically active. Functional ability tests (timed stair climb and timed up and go) resulted in a significant interaction effect (P = .03 and P = .05, respectively). Subjects in the UC + AC with HE group were significantly slower on both tests baseline to after intervention, whereas the STEER group's time remained stable. The STEER group completed both tests faster than the UC + AC with HE group after intervention. Study findings support the use of STEER after intensive cancer treatment and HCT. Strength training demonstrated positive effects on fatigue, physical activity, muscle strength, and functional ability. The exact recovery patterns between groups and over time varied; the STEER group either improved or maintained their status from baseline to after intervention (6 weeks after hospital discharge) whereas the health education group generally declined over time or did not change.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW In the context of the worldwide obesity epidemic, bariatric surgery is the only therapy associated with a sustainable weight loss and to midterm prevention of obesity-related complications. However, nutritional and behavioral multidisciplinary medical preparation, as well as long-term postoperative nutritional follow-up, is strongly advised to avoid postoperative surgical, nutritional, or psychiatric complications. RECENT FINDINGS Due to a long history of restrictive diets and large body weight fluctuations, preoperative nutritional assessment and correction of vitamin and trace elements deficiencies are mandatory. A rapid and massive weight loss induces the loss of muscle mass and fat-free mass that could lead to malnutrition and osteoporosis. Dietetic counseling is advised to prevent postoperative food intolerance syndrome, malnutrition, and weight regain. Protein intake should be at least 60 g/day. Planned and structured physical exercise should be systematically promoted to maintain muscle mass and bone health. SUMMARY Bariatric surgery is mostly successful if patients are well prepared and monitored. The perfect patients' selection remains difficult in the absence of well defined predictive criteria of success. Future research is needed to define optimal perioperative nutritional management and its influence on long-term outcome, including quality of life and healthcare-related costs.

Abstract
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a constellation of cardiovascular risk factors that increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus and all cause mortality. Long-term survivors of hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) have a substantial risk of developing MetS and cardiovascular disease, with the estimated prevalence of MetS being 31-49% among HCT recipients. Although MetS has not yet been proven to impact cardiovascular risk after HCT, an understanding of the incidence and risk factors for MetS in HCT recipients can provide the foundation to evaluate screening guidelines and develop interventions that may mitigate cardiovascular-related mortality. A working group was established through the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research and the European Group for Blood and Marrow Transplantation with the goal of reviewing literature and recommend practices appropriate to HCT recipients. Here we deliver consensus recommendations to help clinicians provide screening and preventive care for MetS and cardiovascular disease among HCT recipients. All HCT survivors should be advised of the risks of MetS and encouraged to undergo recommended screening based on their predisposition and ongoing risk factors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Survivors of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) treated with haematopoietic stem cell transplantation and total body irradiation (HSCT/TBI) have a high cardiometabolic risk despite lacking overt clinical obesity. This study characterised body composition using different methodologies and explored associations with reduced insulin sensitivities in a group of ALL survivors treated with/without HSCT/TBI. PROCEDURE Survivors of childhood ALL treated with HSCT/TBI (n = 20,10 M) were compared with Chemotherapy-only (n = 31), and an obese non-leukaemic controls (n = 30). All subjects (aged 16-26 years) were investigated with: auxology (BMI, waist and hip circumferences), DEXA (total and regional fat, fat-free mass), abdominal MRI (subcutaneous, visceral, intramuscular fat), oral glucose tolerance tests (impaired glucose tolerance or diabetes, insulin sensitivity) and serum adiponectin. RESULTS HSCT/TBI Group displayed a higher prevalence of abnormal glucose tolerance (45%); lower insulin sensitivity; lower lean mass with higher prevalence of reduced fat-free mass index (from DEXA); higher visceral and intramuscular, and lower subcutaneous fat on MRI, compared with the Chemotherapy-only and Obese controls. BMI was lowest in HSCT/TBI Group. Waist-to-hip and android-to-gynoid ratios were similar between HSCT/TBI and Obese Groups. Insulin sensitivity adjusted for visceral fat mass was lower in the HSCT/TBI than the Chemotherapy-only and Obese groups. Adiponectin in the HSCT/TBI Group was lower than the Chemotherapy-only group, and correlated negatively with time post HSCT/TBI. CONCLUSIONS HSCT/TBI survivors have an increased risk of abnormal glucose tolerance and reduced insulin sensitivity with reduced subcutaneous and increased visceral fat distribution, increased total fat mass and reduced lean mass.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVES To examine symptom reports and physiologic parameters in adolescents using the Eating After Transplant (EAT!) intervention during recovery after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). DESIGN Repeated measures design. SETTING HSCT service at a pediatric teaching institution in the southern United States. SAMPLE 16 adolescents recovering from a first-time allogeneic HSCT. METHODS Use of EAT! was monitored electronically, symptom reports were obtained from a questionnaire, and physiologic parameters were obtained from the medical record at HSCT hospital discharge and 20, 40, and 60 days postdischarge. MAIN RESEARCH VARIABLES EAT! use, symptom prevalence, symptom-related distress, and physiologic parameters including weight, body mass index (BMI), pre-albumin, and albumin. FINDINGS Symptom prevalence was highest at hospital discharge and steadily declined; however, mean symptom distress scores remained stable. Mean weight and BMI significantly declined during the first 60 days postdischarge; pre-albumin and albumin markers were unchanged. No correlation was noted among use of EAT! and any research variables. CONCLUSIONS The most frequent symptoms were not always the most distressing symptoms. Weight and BMI significantly declined during HSCT recovery. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING Nurses should assess symptom frequency and distress to fully understand patients' symptom experiences. Nurses should monitor weight and BMI throughout HSCT recovery.

Abstract
Malnutrition is a known complication of chronic GVHD (cGVHD), but has not been well described in the context of organ-specific manifestations and the recent National Institutes of Health (NIH) criteria. Here, 210 cGVHD patients were analyzed, in a cross-sectional study design, for demographics, transplant-related history, clinical assessments, symptoms, function, quality-of-life, laboratory values and survival in order to determine their associations with nutritional status. Most patients had long-standing, moderate or severe cGVHD and had failed many lines of therapy. Twenty-nine percent (60/210) of subjects were malnourished, using the subjective Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA) questionnaire and evaluation. No demographic or transplant characteristics were associated with malnutrition; cGVHD of the lungs, gastrointestinal (GI) tract and mouth, NIH global score, cGVHD symptoms, worse functioning, low albumin, poorer survival and low BMI were associated with malnutrition. A predictive model was developed from all variables of significance: cGVHD of the lungs, GI tract, mouth and BMI accurately predicted 84.2% of malnourished patients as well as 87.2% of well-nourished patients. The PG-SGA questionnaire may be a useful tool in diagnosing nutritional deficits in cGVHD patients undergoing one-time evaluations. Longitudinal prospective studies should assess the utility of nutritional support interventions in cGVHD.

Abstract
The increasing number of haemopoietic stem cell transplantations (HSCT) taking place worldwide has offered a cure to many high risk childhood malignancies with an otherwise very poor prognosis. However, HSCT is associated with an increased risk of morbidity and premature death, and patients who have survived the acute complications continue to face lifelong health sequelae as a result of the treatment. Endocrine dysfunction is well described in childhood HSCT survivors treated for malignancies. The endocrine system is highly susceptible to damage from the conditioning therapy, such as, alkylating agents and total body irradiation, which is given prior stem cell infusion. Although not immediately life-threatening, the impact of these abnormalities on the long term health and quality of life in these patients may be considerable. The prevalence, risk factors, clinical approaches to investigations and treatments, as well as the implications of ongoing surveillance of endocrine disorders in childhood HSCT survivors, are discussed in this review.

Abstract
Adverse changes in nutrition-related outcomes including quality of life (QoL) occur after PBSC transplantation. This randomised controlled trial aims to evaluate the impact of nutrition and exercise counselling provided at hospital discharge on nutritional status, body composition and QoL post transplantation. Usual care (UC) (n=19) received no intervention after discharge; extended care (EC) (n=18) received fortnightly telephone counselling from a dietitian and exercise physiologist up to 100 days post transplantation. Nutritional status (patient-generated subjective global assessment, and diet history), QoL (EORTC QLQ-C30 version 3) and body composition (air displacement plethysmography) were assessed at pre-admission, discharge and 100 days post transplantation. Intervention groups were compared using two-sample t-tests of changes in the outcomes; results were adjusted using analysis of covariance. EC exhibited clinically important but not statistically significant increases in protein intake (14.7 g; confidence interval (CI) 95% -6.5, 35.9, P=0.165), cognitive functioning (7.2; CI 95% -7.9, 22.2, P=0.337) and social functioning (16.5; CI 95% -7.3, 40.3, P=0.165) compared with UC. Relative to pre-admission, EC experienced less weight loss than UC (-3.3 kg; CI 95% -6.7, 0.2, P=0.062). Physical activity was not significantly different between the groups. Ongoing nutrition and exercise counselling may prevent further weight loss and improve dietary intake and certain QoL components in autologous PBSC transplantation patients following hospitalisation.

Bone mineral density, vitamin D, and nutritional status of children submitted to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Nutrition 2013; 30:654-9. [PMID: 24613437 DOI: 10.1016/j.nut.2013.10.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/15/2013] [Revised: 10/15/2013] [Accepted: 10/28/2013] [Indexed: 10/26/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) on bone mineral density (BMD), serum vitamin D levels, and nutritional status of 50 patients between ages 4 and 20 y. METHODS We conducted pre-HSCT and 6-mo post-HSCT evaluations. We measured BMD at the lumbar spine (LS) and total body (TB) by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA); body composition by bioimpedance analysis, and dietary intakes of calcium and vitamin D using the 24-h recall and semiquantitative food frequency questionnaire methods. RESULTS We observed a significant reduction in BMD 6 mo post-HSCT. Nearly half (48%) of patients had reductions at the LS (average -9.6% ± 6.0%), and patients who developed graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) had the greatest reductions (-5.6% versus 1.2%, P < 0.01). We also found reductions in serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OHD), from 25.6 ± 10.9 ng/dL to 20.4 ± 11.4 ng/dL (P < 0.05), and in body weight. Corticosteroid treatment duration, severity of chronic GVHD, serum 25-OHD levels, and family history of osteoporosis were all risk factors associated with variations in BMD at the LS. CONCLUSION HSCT in children and adolescents negatively effects their BMD, nutritional status, and vitamin D levels. We suggest that early routine assessment be done to permit prevention and treatment.
