Abstract
Background: Psychosocial risk factors (PSRFs) have emerged as important nontraditional risk factors for poor medical outcomes but have not been well-studied in the field of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT).
Objectives: In this study, we retrospectively examined in-hospital and short-term outcomes in patients with PSRFs who underwent HSCT.
Methods: We used the National Readmission Database (NRD) to identify patients who underwent HSCT between 2011 and 2020. Patients were stratified based on the presence of either 0 or ≥ 1 PSRFs, which included factors such as mental illness, substance abuse, cognitive problems, a low income level, and an uninsured status. Patients were also classified into allogeneic-HSCT (allo-HSCT) and autologous-HSCT (auto-HSCT) groups. Our primary endpoints were in-hospital and short-term outcomes.
Results: In this nationally representative cohort, 90,747 patients underwent auto-HSCT, while 26,600 patients underwent allo-HSCT. In the auto-HSCT group, individuals with PSRFs exhibited notably higher in-hospital mortality (2.4% vs. 2.8%; p < 0.001) and 30-day all-cause readmission rates (14.4% vs. 17.8%; p < 0.001) compared to those without PSRFs. Similarly, within the allo-HSCT group, patients with PSRFs had significantly higher in-hospital mortality (5.4% vs. 6.4%; p < 0.001) and 30-day all-cause readmission rates (27.3% vs. 31.2%; p < 0.001) compared to those without PSRFs. After adjusting for risk factors, the presence of PSRFs emerged as a substantial predictor for heightened 30-day readmission in allo-HSCT and auto-HSCT.
Conclusion: The presence of PSRFs is correlated with poorer in-hospital and short-term outcomes after both allo-HSCT and auto-HSCT, with a more pronounced effect observed in allo-HSCT. This research underscores the significance of pinpointing high-risk patients and implies support for merging PSRFs after HSCT is beneficial.
期刊介绍:
Psycho-Oncology is concerned with the psychological, social, behavioral, and ethical aspects of cancer. This subspeciality addresses the two major psychological dimensions of cancer: the psychological responses of patients to cancer at all stages of the disease, and that of their families and caretakers; and the psychological, behavioral and social factors that may influence the disease process. Psycho-oncology is an area of multi-disciplinary interest and has boundaries with the major specialities in oncology: the clinical disciplines (surgery, medicine, pediatrics, radiotherapy), epidemiology, immunology, endocrinology, biology, pathology, bioethics, palliative care, rehabilitation medicine, clinical trials research and decision making, as well as psychiatry and psychology.
This international journal is published twelve times a year and will consider contributions to research of clinical and theoretical interest. Topics covered are wide-ranging and relate to the psychosocial aspects of cancer and AIDS-related tumors, including: epidemiology, quality of life, palliative and supportive care, psychiatry, psychology, sociology, social work, nursing and educational issues.
Special reviews are offered from time to time. There is a section reviewing recently published books. A society news section is available for the dissemination of information relating to meetings, conferences and other society-related topics. Summary proceedings of important national and international symposia falling within the aims of the journal are presented.
