Outpatient autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant (AHSCT) shows comparable effectiveness and reduced morbidity versus inpatient AHSCT. This approach significantly lowers bed occupancy, potentially impacting community nursing workloads.

Area of Science:

  • Hematology
  • Oncology
  • Health Services Research

Background:

  • Autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant (AHSCT) is a critical treatment.
  • Traditional inpatient AHSCT is resource-intensive.
  • North American healthcare systems have explored outpatient AHSCT to reduce costs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of outpatient AHSCT compared to inpatient AHSCT.
  • To assess differences in bed occupancy and patient morbidity between the two AHSCT settings.

Main Methods:

  • A mini-review of literature was conducted.
  • Searches included Cochrane Library, Medline, Embase, and CINAHL.
  • Four non-randomized control trials were identified and analyzed.

Main Results:

  • Outpatient AHSCT demonstrated no increased patient morbidity.
  • Studies showed outcomes favoring the outpatient group or no significant difference.
  • A significant reduction in bed occupancy was consistently observed with outpatient AHSCT.

Conclusions:

  • Outpatient AHSCT appears achievable and safe for selected patients.
  • The model offers substantial benefits in reducing hospital bed occupancy.
  • Further high-quality trials are needed in the UK to inform implementation.
