Article Synopsis
- Sinusoidal obstructive syndrome (SOS) is a serious problem that can happen after a special type of blood stem cell transplant.
- A new ward round was created to check patients weekly for SOS, leading to faster identification and treatment.
- Out of 110 patients checked, most had risk factors for SOS, and those who did were diagnosed and treated quicker than before this new program started.
