Background: The relationship between obesity and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) has been studied in both preclinical and clinical studies with varying results.
Objectives: We aimed to investigate the impact of obesity, as measured by body mass index (BMI), on the incidence, severity, and response to therapy of GVHD in a contemporary cohort.
Study Design: We conducted a retrospective study of patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) for acute myelogenous leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome between January 2010 and December 2021 at the Cleveland Clinic.
