Outcome of Acute Respiratory Failure Secondary to Engraftment in Children After Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant
Conclusion: Our results suggest that children who develop ARF during engraftment have better ICU survival rates than do those with other etiologies of ARF post-HSCT. Furthermore, fluid overload contributes to mortality in these children; therefore, strategies to prevent and address fluid overload should be considered.
