AI Article Synopsis
- The study examines cognitive, educational, and motor skills in pediatric survivors of hematopoietic progenitor cell transplantation (HPCT) up to two years post-transplant.
- Performance IQ showed improvement over time, influenced by factors like maternal depression, child’s age, and time since diagnosis.
- Overall, while cognitive abilities surpassed norms, educational outcomes were lacking, highlighting the importance of maternal and child factors on development post-transplant.
Article Abstract
Objectives: Investigate cognitive, educational, and perceptual motor skills up to 2 years posttransplant of pediatric hematopoietic progenitor cell transplantation (HPCT) survivors and their correlates.
Methods: Survivors were assessed at baseline, 12, and 24 months after transplant.
Results: Performance IQ improved over time and was negatively related to maternal depression. Full IQ and educational outcomes were positively related to child's age and mother's age. Low depression scores were associated with high Verbal IQ one and 2 years post-HPCT, and with high visual motor scores 2 years post-HPCT. Poor educational outcomes were related to increased time since diagnosis. Two years post-HPCT, Performance IQ and Processing Speed were above the norm values whereas arithmetic and motor scores were below.
Conclusions: Pediatric HPCT survivors do better cognitively than educationally. Maternal age and depression, child's age, and time since diagnosis are critical factors for these outcomes.

Non-myeloablative haematopoietic progenitor cell transplantation (HPCT) from matched related donors (MRD) has been increasingly utilized in sickle cell disease (SCD). A total of 122 patients received 300 cGy of total body irradiation (TBI), alemtuzumab, unmanipulated filgrastim-mobilized peripheral blood HPC and sirolimus. The median follow-up was four years; median age at HPCT was 29 years.

Objectives: To describe longitudinally different sources of perceived social support by children and adolescents who undergo haematopoietic progenitor cell transplant (HPCT).
Methods: Thirty-six (20 males, 16 females) survivors of paediatric HPCT, aged 8-18 years (Mean = 11.73), were assessed pre-HPCT and 6 months, 1 year and 2 years post-HPCT.
