Reduced energy requirements during pediatric allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation measured by indirect calorimetry.

Key Points

• Reduced energy requirements were measured using indirect calorimetry, highlighting a significant shift in metabolic rate during transplantation.
• Children undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation exhibited a notable decrease in energy needs, measured accurately.
• The approach utilized indirect calorimetry to assess energy expenditure, providing valuable insights into pediatric metabolic responses.
• These findings may enable more precise nutritional support during the transplant process, though they need further confirmation across broader populations.
