NCT03324620

Brief Summary

The objective of the study is to evaluate the benefits and costs of a comprehensive rehabilitation program (physical, psychological, social and educational) for patients receiving hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). It is a prospective longitudinal study with a control group. Patients will be included who will perform a transplant in the hospital environment. The variables of the study will be: number and type of complications, days of hospitalization, readmissions, economic cost of the program, exercise tolerance, assessment of muscular atrophy, health related quality of life, knowledge and self-management of the disease, all of them adjusted for the variables age, sex and hematological disease, as well as comorbidities. The evaluations will be performed before transplantation (between one and three months before), during the conditioning phase (intensive chemotherapy), before discharge, after immediate discharge and after discharge up to one year. The nursing team will perform the patient's therapeutic education, stimulation for physical activity, as well as evaluation and follow-up measures. Early detection of the needs of the rest of the rehabilitation team will be carried out. There will be a support function for the physiotherapist in regard to physical activity. In Spain there is no interdisciplinary team that provides comprehensive care and rehabilitation to this type of patients and few studies are dedicated to rehabilitation beyond physiotherapy as a preventive tool for future disabilities.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

  • Cost of interventions assesed by the cost of hospitalization for HSCT

    For the calculation the days of hospitalization in each hospitalization unit care are counted. Then, the total number of days spent in each unit (D): (intensive care unit, ICU (A), isolation chamber (B), single room (C). The cost of hospitalization for HSCT: (a: price / day in the ICU, b: price / day in isolation chamber, c: price / day in single room, in euros). Dd = (Aa) + (Bb) + (Cc), in euros.

    Admission

  • Cost of interventions assesed by the cost incorporation of a physiotherapist into the team

    To calculate the cost, a physiotherapist will be hired 4 hours / day for the intervention group. Day of hospitalization for the transplant (D) multiplied by the cost per day of the physiotherapist (euros).

    Admission

  • Cost of interventions assesed by the number (number), characteristics and incidence of the immediate complications of HSCT

    Incidence expressed as a percentage. Comparison between the two groups (total number and percentage)

    Admisssion

  • Cost of interventions assesed by antimicrobials used in infectious complications and chemotherapy conditioning.

    expressed in euros

    Admission

Secondary Outcomes (12)

  • Adherence to the program and evaluation of the knowledge acquired by the patient.

    Prior to hospital discharge or the same day discharge day. 1,3, 6, 12 months post discharge.

  • Referred quality of life: quality of life as assessed by the FACT (Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy) leukemia questionnaire (Scale info can be included in the description.)

    Admission.

  • Referred quality of life: quality of life as assessed by the FACT (Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy) lymfhoma questionnaire (Scale info can be included in the description.)

    Admission.

  • Referred quality of life: quality of life as assessed by the FACT (Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy) multiple myeloma questionnaire (Scale info can be included in the description.)

    Admission.

  • Referred quality of life: quality of life as assessed by the FACT (Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy) Bone marrow transplant (Scale info can be included in the description.)

    Prior to hospital discharge or the same day discharge day. 1,3, 6, 12 months post discharge.

  • +7 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

pre active HSCT

EXPERIMENTAL

Candidates for transplantation of hematopoietic progenitors since May 12, 2012, regardless of sex and age, who agree to participate in the study and sign informed consent. In the pre-transplantation visit with the physiotherapist: Measures of muscle mass and strength, quality of life questionnaires, program presentation, fitness assessment and lifestyle determination. The exercises will be personalized, stimulating your practice before admission and involving the family. During admission, the team will encourage the patient to remain active by adapting to the symptoms. At discharge, measures of resistance, exercise tolerance and quality of life at discharge, in the month after discharge, 3 months after discharge, 6 months after discharge and 12 months after discharge.

Other: Specific program functional and respiratory rehabilitation

control group

NO INTERVENTION

Patients' candidates for transplantation of hematopoietic progenitors prior to May 12, 2012, regardless of gender and age, who meet the inclusion criteria and are collected correlatively until completing 104 subjects. Clinical history review to calculate the days of hospitalization in the different hospitalization units during the transplant. As well as the number and type of complications and the use of health resources. Status vitae. Baseline review of functional tests and exercise tolerance.

Interventions

It is a question of introducing a small program of physical activation pre-transplantation of hematopoietic progenitors, to continue developing it during the hospitalization and to use the functional measurements as a measure of its impact, as well as the different quality of life questionnaires.
