Parents of children ages 2-18 years who were diagnosed at Childrens Hospital Los Angeles and Children's Hospital San Diego with BT (n = 86) or acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL; n = 170) evaluated their children's HRQOL over the previous week using the parent-proxy versions of the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) 4.0 Generic Core scales, the PedsQL 3.0 Acute Cancer Module, and the PedsQL Multidimensional Fatigue scales. Multiple regression analyses were used to determine the independent effect of the child's diagnosis on HRQOL.

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.
