Health-related quality of life before and after hematopoietic stem cell transplant: evidence from a survey in Suzhou, China.

CONCLUSION: The patients' overall HRQOL was severely impaired in the early stages of posttransplantation, and patients experienced the worst HRQOL at 30 days. They had improved significantly by 180 days posttransplantation. We also found that household income, transplant-related complications, and age were independent predictors of early HRQOL.We therefore concluded that the HRQOL of HSCT patients in the early stages posttransplantation deserved more attention.
