Predictors of Avascular Necrosis of Bone in Long-Term Survivors of Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation.

The article presents a study, which describes the risk magnitude in individuals, who survived a year or more following a hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). Result shows that the avascular necrosis (AVN) is considered a debilitating condition reported following a chronic steroid use. It is concluded that AVN is expected to develop targeted interventions in such a way that chronic debilitating condition can be prevented.
