Clinical, epidemiological and survival profile of transplant recipients with hematopoietic stem cells: a retrospective cohort

Abstract

Aim: to characterize the clinical and epidemiological profile of patients who underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and to estimate the overall survival of transplant recipients. Method: this is a quantitative approach study, of the retrospective cohort, descriptive and analytical type, hospital-based with 272 patients who underwent HSCT in a referral service. Results: the profile of the patients presented a discrete male prevalence. The overall survival of transplanted patients showed a statistically significant difference when compared according to sex. Concerning death, the majority occurred in male patients, with a statistically significant difference for those who had been followed for more than seven months and for those who presented acute lymphoblastic leukemia as the main indicative diagnosis for HSCT. Conclusion: in relation to clinical variables, the results were similar to those found in similar studies; however, survival rates were relatively low.
