PG - 1425-1431 LID - S0003-9993(23)00161-2 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.apmr.2023.03.002 [doi] AB - OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between adverse events (AEs) and critical events (CEs) during and after rehabilitation in cancer patients post-hemopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) or bone marrow transplant (BMT) and to identify whether particular laboratory values are associated with increased risk of AEs or CEs. DESIGN: A retrospective chart review (2012-2017) of hospitalized patients ages 18-75 years who received a diagnosis of cancer and BMT or HSCT receiving rehabilitation services SETTING: Urban Midwest tertiary, research and academic hospital. PARTICIPANTS: In total, 99 hospitalized adults with HSCT or BMT participated in 300 rehabilitation sessions. INTERVENTIONS: Physical or occupational therapy using a symptom-based approach in which patient symptoms were monitored and therapy was adjusted in real time MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Incidence of AEs or CEs occurring during or within 48 hours of rehabilitation. RESULTS: A total of 300 rehabilitation sessions were carried out where 99.7% had 1 or more laboratory values outside reference range. In only 3.3% of therapy sessions an AE occurred during or within 2 hours of rehabilitation. Within 48 hours postrehabilitation, AEs occurred in 22.3% and CEs in 4%. No laboratory value was significantly associated with increased risk of AEs or CEs during rehabilitation. A hemoglobin <8.0 g/dL conferred an increased risk of AEs (odds ratio [OR], 2.85-6.89) depending on timeframe analyzed and overall risk of CE (OR, 3.75). Lower hemoglobin levels (<7.5 g/dL and <7.0 g/dL) did not increase this risk. Low platelets (<25 k/muL) increased the risk of AEs on day 1, 2 and overall (OR, 2.5-2.72) and overall risk of CEs (OR, 6.62). CONCLUSIONS: Our research demonstrates a low rate of AEs and CEs during or within 2 hours of rehabilitation but supports the need to monitor patients when hemoglobin is <8 g/dL or platelets are <25 k/muL due to the increased risk of events.
