Study summary

Retrospective case-note review to determine if nutrition via the enteral compared to the parenteral route results in better outcomes after haematopoietic cell transplantation.

Read the detailed description

This is a retrospective case-note review of adults undergoing haematopoietic cell transplantation to treat a haematological malignancy who have been admitted to Hammersmith Hospital from 2000 to 2014. All patients receiving an allogeneic haematopoietic cell transplant from a matched sibling or identically matched unrelated donor will be included. We will record the route and assess the broad adequacy of nutritional intakes to determine if nutrition via the enteral compared to the parenteral route results in better outcomes after haematopoietic cell transplantation. Our outcomes are graft versus host disease incidence and severity, transplant related (early) mortality and overall survival.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of Participants With Acute Graft Versus Host Disease (GvHD) at Any Site (Grade II or Above) and Acute GvHD of the Gut of Any Grade

    Occurrence of acute GvHD at any site (grade II or above) and acute GvHD of the gut of any grade (graded according to standard criteria). Standard criteria to grade the severity of acute GvHD are quantification of rash, serum bilirubin and diarrhoea. These standard criteria have been developed and used for \> 20 years by most transplant centres to improve comparability between publications.

    Time frame: 100 days after the date of hematopoietic cell infusion

  2. Non Relapse Mortality

    Defined as death without previous relapse

    Time frame: 100 days after the date of hematopoietic cell infusion

Secondary outcomes

  1. Graft Versus Host Disease-free and Relapse-free Survival

    GvHD-free/relapse-free survival (GRFS). Events in GRFS included grade 3-4 acute GvHD, systemic therapy-requiring chronic GvHD, relapse, or death

    Time frame: 5 years after the date of hematopoietic cell infusion

  2. 5 Year Survival

    Time frame: 5 years after the date of hematopoietic cell infusion
