Endothelial Activation and Stress Index (EASIX) at Admission Predicts Fluid Overload in Recipients of Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation

Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (AHCT) is a potential curative option for a variety of hematological malignancies. A number of complications occurring after AHCT can lead to an increased non-relapse mortality (NRM). Fluid overload (FO) has recently been recognized as a serious complication occurring after AHCT, associated with an increased non-relapse mortality (NRM). [1,2] Several non-transplant studies in critically ill patients have also reported decreased survival and increased hospital stay in patients who develop FO.
