Abstract:
The nutritional status after bone marrow transplant plays an important role in the outcome of patients. Post-allograft dietary instructions are therefore essential to ensure quality nutrition while minimizing the risk of infection. For patients, this is one of their main concerns on discharge from hospital. With the aim of harmonizing post-allograft dietary instructions, a multidisciplinary working group has been set up within a number of French centers performing hematopoietic stem cell allogenic transplantation. The dietary guidelines have been updated by this working group, through videoconference meetings, an online questionnaire, a review of the literature and deliberations at harmonization days. These instructions will be incorporated into the next update of the adult and pediatric post-transplant follow-up booklet.
