PY - 2017 T2 - Comprehensive Pediatric Hospital Medicine, 2e AB - Thousands of hematopoietic stem cell transplants (HSCT) are performed in children and adolescents annually in the United States. HSCT is being used to treat a growing number of indications including malignancies, nonmalignant hematologic diseases, immunologic disorders, inborn errors of metabolism, and autoimmune disorders (Table 134-1). HSCT is not the first line of therapy for many of these diseases, but is reserved for patients for whom first-line therapy is not sufficient or is ineffective. While most pediatric transplants are performed at tertiary care centers, post-transplant patients receive a portion of their care in community hospitals and local oncologists’ offices. It is important for the pediatric hospitalist to have a general understanding of the medical issues facing HSCT patients who may present to their emergency departments or get admitted to inpatient units.
