The aims of this study were to establish the nutritional status of patients during hematopoietic SCT (HSCT) and to determine if body mass index (BMI) is a valid indicator of nutritional status in this population when compared with nitrogen balance (NB). In total, 50 patients were enrolled (mean age: 25.7+/-9.0 years). Patients (14%) were underweight (BMI<18.5 kg/m(2)), 58% in a normal BMI (between 18.5 and 24.9 kg/m(2)) and 28% were overweight or obese (BMI >or= 25 kg/m(2)). NB dropped after transplantation and increased from days +5 to +20 after transplantation (P=0.006). There was a significant negative relationship between patients' BMI and time to engraftment (r=-0.45, P=0.001). Engraftment of underweight patients was 3.0 days (P=0.002) and 4.0 days (P<0.001) later than in normal and overweight or obese patients, respectively. There was no significant correlation between NB before transplantation and time to engraftment (r=-0.22, P=0.16). The results of this study demonstrate that patients undergoing HSCT may have suboptimal nutritional status and that pre-HSCT-BMI rather than NB may have a greater correlation in HSCT patients with the time of engraftment. Therefore, it may be useful to consider patient's BMI before transplantation for earlier engraftment time.

D009584 Nitrogen An element with the atomic symbol N, atomic number 7, and atomic weight [14.00643; 14.00728]. Nitrogen exists as a diatomic gas and makes up about 78% of the earth's atmosphere by volume. It is a constituent of proteins and nucleic acids and found in all living cells.
D009752 Nutritional Status State of the body in relation to the consumption and utilization of nutrients. Nutrition Status,Status, Nutrition,Status, Nutritional
D009765 Obesity A status with BODY WEIGHT that is grossly above the recommended standards, usually due to accumulation of excess FATS in the body. The standards may vary with age, sex, genetic or cultural background. In the BODY MASS INDEX, a BMI greater than 30.0 kg/m2 is considered obese, and a BMI greater than 40.0 kg/m2 is considered morbidly obese (MORBID OBESITY).
D002149 Energy Intake Total number of calories taken in daily whether ingested or by parenteral routes. Caloric Intake,Calorie Intake,Intake, Calorie,Intake, Energy
D003430 Cross-Sectional Studies Studies in which the presence or absence of disease or other health-related variables are determined in each member of the study population or in a representative sample at one particular time. This contrasts with LONGITUDINAL STUDIES which are followed over a period of time.
