Activity Levels in Bone Marrow Transplant Patients

Recruiting
Conditions
Bone Marrow Transplant
Registration Number
NCT04115241
Lead Sponsor
Michael Tomasson
Brief Summary

Participants in this study will be receiving a bone marrow transplant. This study is designed to evaluate correlations between activity levels and length of stay, quality of life, and hand grip strength.

Detailed Description

Participants in this study will be receiving a bone marrow transplant. Participants will be given actigraphs to wear around their waists starting 3 weeks prior to bone marrow transplants until they are discharged from the hospital. Participants will be asked to complete quality of life questionnaires and hand grip tests at three separate time points during their hospitalizations. All data gathered from these activities will be compared with patients' activity levels gathered from the actigraphs both before and during the hospitalization. This study is designed to determine the relationship between activity levels and length of stay, quality of life, and hand grip strength.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
To determine the correlation between activity levels and length of stay in hospitalFrom study intitiation for up to 5 years

Participants will be given actigraphs to wear around their waists starting 3 weeks prior to bone marrow transplants until they are discharged from the hospital. Activity prior to and during hospitalization will be correlated with length of stay.

To determine the correlation between activity levels and hand grip strengthFrom study intitiation for up to 5 years

Participants will be given actigraphs to wear around their waists starting 3 weeks prior to bone marrow transplants until they are discharged from the hospital. Hand grip strength will be measured at three time points during hospitalization. Activity prior to and during hospitalization will be correlated with hand grip strength.

To determine the correlation between activity levels and quality of lifeFrom study intitiation for up to 5 years

Participants will be given actigraphs to wear around their waists starting 3 weeks prior to bone marrow transplants until they are discharged from the hospital. They will be provided with quality of life questionnaires at three time points during hospitalization. Activity prior to and during hospitalization will be correlated with quality of life

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
To determine barriers to activity for patients recovering from bone marrow transplantation and design an intervention to increase activity levels in patients post-transplantationFrom study intitiation for up to 5 years

Barriers to physical activity will be determined using a validated questionnaire at three time points during hospitalization.
