Telemedicine With Wearable Technologies in Patients Undergoing Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation and Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-Cell Therapy (TEL-HEMATO Study): Prospective Noninterventional Single-Center Study

Telemedicine With Wearable Technologies in Patients Undergoing Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation and Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-Cell Therapy (TEL-HEMATO Study): Prospective Noninterventional Single-Center Study

For individuals who have undergone hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) or chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy, the posttreatment journey often involves continuous monitoring and timely intervention. Patients are susceptible to a myriad of complications (eg, infections, cytokine release syndrome, neurotoxicity, graft-versus-host disease), necessitating vigilant monitoring.

Exploring the Potential of an Eye Tissue Donor Reporting App in Enhancing the Procurement of Corneal Donors: Mixed Methods Observational Study

Exploring the Potential of an Eye Tissue Donor Reporting App in Enhancing the Procurement of Corneal Donors: Mixed Methods Observational Study

The availability of donated tissues plays a crucial role in saving and enhancing the vision of numerous patients through transplantation. However, the demand for tissues consistently surpasses the available supply, leading to longer waiting lists and compromised patient outcomes in various countries, including Poland [1-3].

Patient Engagement With and Perspectives on a Mobile Health Home Spirometry Intervention: Mixed Methods Study

Patient Engagement With and Perspectives on a Mobile Health Home Spirometry Intervention: Mixed Methods Study

The primary diagnosis resulting in a need for transplantation was classified into 5 categories: restrictive disease, obstructive disease, cystic fibrosis or bronchiectasis, pulmonary hypertension, and other disease. Rural or urban status was assigned at the zip code level using the rural-urban community area codes classification [15]. Area Deprivation Index (ADI) national percentiles, based on a patient’s US census block group location, were used as a proxy measure of socioeconomic status [16].

Mobile Technology to Monitor and Support Health and Well-Being: Qualitative Study of Perspectives and Design Suggestions From Patients Undergoing Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation

Additionally, the HCT process is so intensive that patients are required to identify at least one care partner (henceforth, this term will be used interchangeably with unpaid caregiver, eg, spouse, sibling, child, other family member, neighbor, or friend) to provide around-the-clock care for roughly 12 weeks after transplantation [4].

Health System–Level Barriers to Living Donor Kidney Transplantation: Protocol for a Comparative Case Study Analysis

Health System–Level Barriers to Living Donor Kidney Transplantation: Protocol for a Comparative Case Study Analysis

Kidney transplantation, in particular living donor kidney transplant (LDKT), is widely regarded as the best therapeutic option for patients with kidney failure. When compared with patients undergoing dialysis, those who have undergone kidney transplantation experience a 64%-75% lower risk of death by the first year following transplantation [8-13]. LDKT is a surgery that involves a healthy individual donating one kidney to a patient (recipient) with kidney failure.

Acceptability of an mHealth Family Self-management Intervention (myFAMI) for Pediatric Transplantation Families: Qualitative Focus

Acceptability of an mHealth Family Self-management Intervention (myFAMI) for Pediatric Transplantation Families: Qualitative Focus

Successful outcomes of transplantation require effective family self-management [5,6]. The first 30 days following hospital discharge is a critical time for families to self-manage the additional stressors associated with posttransplantation care including managing the child’s medical schedule (laboratory/clinic appointments, medication administration), impact on family life, and worry about transplantation complications [7-10].

The Impact of Transitioning From In-Person to Virtual Heart Transplantation Selection Committee Meetings: Observational Study

Thus, transplantation selection committees are typically large multidisciplinary groups, including physician and nonphysician members, that complete comprehensive patient evaluations to determine transplant listing eligibility [2]. The COVID-19 pandemic transformed clinical and administrative practices in heart transplantation.

Kidney Sellers From a Village in Nepal: Protocol for an Ethnographic Study

Kidney Sellers From a Village in Nepal: Protocol for an Ethnographic Study

The increasing global demand for kidney transplantation has fueled an illegal kidney trade. In 2011, 10% of all organs for transplant surgeries in the world were trafficked from a total of 100 countries [1,2]. The global phenomenon of the kidney trade finds major buyers in high-income countries and sellers in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) [3,4].

A Smartphone App to Increase Immunizations in the Pediatric Solid Organ Transplant Population: Development and Initial Usability Study

In addition, VPIs can increase the cost of transplantation by US $120,000 [4,5]. To prevent these infections, it is crucial for transplant candidates to receive all age-appropriate vaccines in the pretransplant period. However, less than 20% of pediatric liver transplant recipients are up to date on age-appropriate immunizations at the time of transplant [6].
