Bone mineral density (BMD)
Both baseline and day 100 BMD data were available for 27 patients (77%) in the control group and 32 patients (82%) in the intervention group. After transplant, BMD at lumbar spine, total hip, and femoral neck were all within the normal range (≥ -1.0), but BMD declined significantly at total hip in both groups at day 100. Femoral neck BMD was significantly lower after transplant in the control group (pre vs. post-aHSCT: -0.4±1.6 vs. -0.7±1.7, p = 0.04) (
