Prevalence of malnutrition in adult patients previously treated with allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation

Malnutrition is a frequent consequence of allo-HSCT, and may occur several months or years after allo-HSCT, particularly if malnutrition existed before allo-HSCT. Our findings support the need for specialized nutritional care for both before and after allo-HSCT. Furthermore, assessment of muscle mass may be a pertinent parameter of malnutrition in this instance.
