Abstract

Research Objectives:The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) uses hospital readmissions as an indicator of quality of care during the index hospitalization. Patients with hematologic malignancies are at high risk of abnormal blood glucose levels, in particular hyperglycemia. Hyperglycemia during hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) is associated with adverse outcomes such as infection, delayed engraftment, and prolonged length of stay. Little is known about the association between pre-stem cell infusion glucose patterns as a prognostic indicator of patient outcomes.
