In the pre-transplant period, the percentage of individuals who were UW,
NW, OW, and OB were 5.4%, 54.5%, 22.2%, and 17.8% respectively. At
the five-year post-transplant mark, those numbers were 10.6%, 48.2%,
16.5%, and 24.7%. Overall, BMI was found to increase 0.00094 ± 0.0001
kg/m2 each day after transplant (p <
0.001), with older individuals demonstrating greater trends of BMI
increase. Further, there was a larger BMI increase in those who did not
receive TBI compared with those who received TBI (1.29 ± 0.49, p=0.008).
The rates of acute graft vs. host disease (GVHD), chronic GVHD, and
viral infection, in addition to time to platelet and neutrophil
engraftment and 5-year survival estimate, were not significantly
different among weight groups.
