Impact of Physical and Occupational Therapy in New BMT Patients

Assessing the Impact of Physical and Occupational Therapy for Patients Admitted for Bone Marrow Transplant on Outcomes

This is a single-site, non-randomized, observational study designed to evaluate the impact of adding physical and occupational therapy consultation upon inpatient admission for a bone marrow transplantation (BMT). The purpose of this study is to investigate whether consultation with physical and occupational therapists as part of the general admission order set for patients scheduled for bone marrow transplant will result in reduced complications, morbidity, length of inpatient stay, 30-day readmission, and 90-day mortality. Baseline data collection will be used to determine eligibility. This study will be partially retrospective (pre-implementation of physical and occupational therapy consultation order) and partially prospective.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Age ≥ 18 years at the time of admission for bone marrow transplantation (BMT)
2. Received BMT

Exclusion Criteria:

1. No history of inpatient admission for BMT
