Symptom Burden and Recovery in the First Year After Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

Conclusions Experiencing a high symptom burden 4 months after allo-HSCT can affect recovery 1 year after transplantation. Furthermore, low physical activity 4 months after allo-HSCT can predict both general health and sick leave 1 year after transplantation. Implications for Practice Repeated symptom assessment, including experienced distress, is central for reducing overall symptom burden and supporting recovery after allo-HSCT.
