Longer hematologic engraftment duration is linked to older age and lower hemoglobin post-ASCT, highlighting critical predictors.
In a cohort of 43 patients, median engraftment duration was 12 days, with age and hemoglobin being significant indicators.
Assessment of CT-derived morphometric parameters showed only visceral-to-subcutaneous fat area ratio linked to delayed engraftment.
The study findings suggest that pre-transplant assessment could enhance risk stratification for patients undergoing HDCT/ASCT.
