Article Synopsis
- Oral mucositis (OM) is a significant issue for children undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), highlighting a discrepancy between clinical practices and available evidence in nursing care.* -
- The study aims to integrate evidence-based practices to improve nurse compliance and prevent chemotherapy-induced OM, using a comprehensive model from the Joanna Briggs Institute.* -
- After implementing these evidence-based interventions, there was a notable improvement in compliance and a reduction in the incidence and severity of OM, leading to standardized oral care procedures for better patient outcomes.*
Objective: This retrospective study evaluated nutritional status and body composition changes in paediatric β-thalassemia (β-TM) patients before and after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), and explored their relationship with HSCT outcomes.
Methods: A cohort of 40 paediatric β-TM patients undergoing allogeneic HSCT was assessed for their nutritional status, anthropometric parameters, including body mass index (BMI), weight, and height, and body composition parameters pre-and post-HSCT, focusing on BIA measurements, including intracellular water (ICW), extracellular water (ECW), fat mass (FAT), fat-free mass (FFM), Skeletal Muscle Mass (SMM), soft Lean Mass (SLM), percent body fat (PBF), Body Cell Mass (BCM), Phase angle (PA) and muscle balance pre- and post-HSCT. Post-HSCT clinical outcomes, including acute graft-vs-host disease (aGVHD), engraftment time, oral mucositis (OM), sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS), and diarrhoea in relation to nutrition status after HSCT were analysed.
