Utility of Pre-Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation Sinus CT Screening in Children and Adolescents [PEDIATRICS]

CONCLUSIONS:
Pre-hematopoietic cell transplantation sinus CT does not meaningfully contribute to pretransplantation patient management or prediction of posttransplantation sinus disease, including invasive fungal rhinosinusitis, in children. The risks associated with CT radiation and possible anesthesia are not warranted in this setting.
