Impact of Obesity on GVHD Following Post-Transplantation Cyclophosphamide in Patients Undergoing Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplant

Key Points

• Obesity significantly raises the risk of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after transplantation.
• Patients with higher body mass indexes may experience more severe immune responses post-transplant.
• Assessment through a detailed investigation involving multiple centers and patient records unveiled key patterns in outcomes.
• This highlights the importance of considering obesity when predicting GVHD in transplant patients.
