Abstract

Background: Physical function prior to allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) is associated with survival and may be associated with patient physical activity (PA). Tools to evaluate PA prior to HCT are scarce. We aimed to evaluate the impact of easily obtained patient-report of PA prior to HCT on survival.

Methods: HCT recipients between January 1, 2011 and July 5, 2018 and who completed an International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form were included. This patient survey captures self-reported activities over the preceding week to determine PA level.

Results: We report a retrospective study of 587 adult (age ≥18) HCT recipients. The median age for the cohort was 57.9 years (range 19.9–76.1) with 149 patients (25.4%) age ≥65. Younger patients reported higher PA (low, median age 59.7 years; moderate, 56.1; high, 55.7; p < 0.001). High activity level was reported by males (66.7%; p < 0.001). Patients with low PA had HCT-comorbidity index (HCT-CI) ≥ 3 (68.1%, p = 0.002). When controlling for HCT-CI and disease risk index, higher PA was associated with improved overall survival (HR 0.954, 95% CI 0.921–0.988, p = 0.009). After adjusting for HCT-CI, higher PA was associated with reduced non-relapse mortality (NRM) (HR 0.931, 95% CI 0.891–0.972, p = 0.0013). Subgroup analysis in adults age ≥65 years also found that PA was lower in this population and associated with NRM mortality (HR 0.95, 95% CI 0.90–0.99, p = 0.041).

Conclusion: Patient-reported PA is a predictor of post-HCT survival. Future studies to validate incorporation of self-report tools to better predict patient-related adverse risk are warranted.
