Background: Chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) adversely impacts return to work for adult allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) survivors, but no data exist on children with cGVHD transitioning back to school. We hypothesized that cGVHD adversely impacts broad aspects of school experience of children compared to their allogeneic-HSCT peers without cGVHD.
Methods: We conducted a single center cross-sectional pilot study using a 42-item questionnaire, investigating academic performance and social-emotional aspects of schooling pre- and post-HSCT.
