Predictors of gastrostomy placement in @entity1 with XXXX treated by umbilical cord blood transplantation.

@entity1 @entity5274 @entity204 @entity209
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: @entity1 with @entity209 ( @entity209 ) undergoing umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT) who are at risk for post-transplant failure to thrive may benefit from pretransplant @entity5274 ( @entity5274 ) placement. Here we sought to determine predictors of posttransplant failure to thrive. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was performed for IMD @entity1 who underwent UCBT at a single center from 2001 to 2011. @entity1 who received GTs were compared with controls. Multivariable logistic regression was used to determine significant predictors for @entity5274 placement. Recursive partitioning was performed to determine appropriate cut-offs for significant continuous variables. RESULTS: Two hundred and seventeen @entity1 met inclusion criteria of which twenty-three were excluded due to @entity204 within one hundred days of transplant. Forty (20.6%) of the remaining @entity1 underwent a surgical @entity5274 placement. Multivariable logistic regression demonstrated that weight percentile at time of transplant was significantly associated with @entity5274 placement (Adjusted odds ratio (AOR): 0.87 per 10th percentile, p=0.022). Recursive partitioning demonstrated that the 40th weight percentile at time of transplant was an optimal cut-off for predicting @entity5274 placement. CONCLUSIONS: @entity1 preparing for umbilical cord transplantation who are below the 40th percentile for weight may benefit from pre-emptive @entity5274 placement prior to transplant.
