Maintenance of appropriate nutrition status within hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is of great significance in both improving treatment response and reducing morbidity and mortality (1, 2). There is a particular lack of observational research within HSCT studying the extent to which oral intake is inhibited in transplant recipients. Using data available in the electronic medical records at the study institution, this retrospective chart review calculated patient caloric intake on each inpatient day during transplant for all patients in 2010. Of 213 patients, 190 were eligible for inclusion into the study. The researchers calculated percentage of EER met on each day of transplant with the goal of calculating the percentage of patients, aggregated by preparatory regimen, who went an extended period of time (at least 10 consecutive days) without adequate oral intake (at least 50% EER). 21% of patients met the criteria for extended inadequate intake. When aggregated by preparatory regimen extended inadequate intake ranged from 7.7%-60%. This study had demonstrated the potential to tailor nutrition interventions to the HSCT recipients’ preparatory regimen, and further research should investigate the feasibility and effectiveness of proposed interventions such as aggressive oral diet counseling, enteral nutrition interventions and parenteral nutrition support.
