The impact of counseling on nutritional status among hematopoietic stem cell recipients: results of a randomized controlled trial by Jabbour, Jana

“…Studies assessing malnutrition rates in HSCT showed that malnutrition rates are low at admission (ranging between 4 and 6%), elevated at hospital discharge (ranging between 35 and 60%), and gradually decreases post discharge [2, 3]. A prospective cohort study suggested that even though patients had improved quality of life, physical activity levels, and lean body mass post HSCT, they did not regain their pre-HSCT levels 100 days post transplantation compared to admission. …”
