Abstract Oncology patients undergoing cancer treatment experience an average of fifteen unrelieved symptoms that are highly variable in both their severity and distress. Recent advances Network Analysis (NA) provide a novel approach to gain insights into the complex nature co-occurring symptom clusters identify core symptoms. We present findings from first study used NA examine relationships among 38 common large sample oncology chemotherapy. Using two different models Pairwise Markov Random...

Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) continues to be associated with substantial rates of nonrelapse mortality (NRM). Numerous factors influence glucose metabolism among HCT recipients. We hypothesized that "malglycemia," defined as hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia or increased glycemic variability, is in patients. In a retrospective cohort study Cox regression was used assess the association malglycemia after transplant day 200 NRM. A total 66,062 blood (BG) measurements from 1175...
