Quality of life trajectories during the first year following hematopoietic cell transplantation: an inception cohort study

Quality of life trajectories during the first year following hematopoietic cell transplantation:... Background Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) affects quality of life (QOL). Patient-reported outcomes examine symptoms, side effects, distress, and physical and social problems, but positive outcomes have been ignored. This inception cohort study followed people over the first year following HCT to document positive and negative outcomes. Methods People with hematologic cancers treated by HCT completed complementary self-report instruments at four milestones: (a) pre-transplant (N = 88); (b) engraftment (N = 80); (c) short-term post-discharge (N = 60); and (d) long-term post-discharge (N = 45). We examined symptoms, side effects, illness intrusiveness, depressive symptoms, positive and negative affect, and self- esteem. We compared QOL in HCT with diverse published values. Results QOL deteriorated following HCT. Most variables returned to baseline by short-term post-discharge, but self-esteem and illness intrusiveness required more time. Illness intrusiveness at 1 year post-discharge was higher in HCT than other cancer groups; negative affect, too, was higher, but HCT survivors also reported higher positive affect.

Abstract

Background Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) affects quality of life (QOL). Patient-reported outcomes examine symptoms, side effects, distress, and physical and social problems, but positive outcomes have been ignored. This inception cohort study followed people over the first year following HCT to document positive and negative outcomes. Methods People with hematologic cancers treated by HCT completed complementary self-report instruments at four milestones: (a) pre-transplant (N = 88); (b) engraftment (N = 80); (c) short-term post-discharge (N = 60); and (d) long-term post-discharge (N = 45). We examined symptoms, side effects, illness intrusiveness, depressive symptoms, positive and negative affect, and self- esteem. We compared QOL in HCT with diverse published values. Results QOL deteriorated following HCT. Most variables returned to baseline by short-term post-discharge, but self-esteem and illness intrusiveness required more time. Illness intrusiveness at 1 year post-discharge was higher in HCT than other cancer groups; negative affect, too, was higher, but HCT survivors also reported higher positive affect.
