Lung function in children undergoing allo hematopoietic stem cell transplantation before the age of six

Key Points

• Lung function declines significantly after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, impacting respiratory health.
• Children frequently experience pulmonary complications, particularly those undergoing transplantation before age six.
• Assessment involves evaluating lung function metrics over a specified follow-up period to identify changes.
• Continued monitoring is vital to address long-term respiratory issues in young patients post-transplant.
