[Fatigue in hematological XXXX treated with allogeneic stem cell transplantation].

@entity1 @entity5 @entity26 @entity1295 @entity1778
INTRODUCTION: Fatigue and poor physical function are well-known symptoms in @entity5 @entity1 . Allogeneic stem cell transplantation is an established treatment for certain @entity5 diagnoses, especially @entity1778 . The aim of this study was to investigate physical function and @entity1295 in relation to allogeneic stem cell transplantation. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 21 @entity1 awaiting allogeneic stem cell transplantation were included in a descriptive follow-up design. Fatigue and physical function was assessed by a standardized test programme consisting of a stair test, a test of maximum @entity26 uptake and questionnaires on physical activity and @entity1295 prior to transplantation as well as 3 and 6 months after transplantation. RESULTS: 10 @entity1 and 11 @entity1 were included. The mean age was 39 years (19-60). Prior to transplantation @entity1 had a low maximum @entity26 uptake and reported more @entity1295 than the Danish general population. Physical @entity1295 rather than mental @entity1295 was pronounced both before and after transplantation. No significant changes in the parameters were found from before transplant to 6 months after transplant. CONCLUSION: The results indicate that prior to transplantation @entity1 have poor physical function and increased physical @entity1295 . The symptoms seem to persist 6 months after transplantation. This could indicate a need for an extensive rehabilitation programme following transplantation.
