Impact of Physical and Occupational Therapy in New BMT Patients

This is a single-site, non-randomized, observational study designed to evaluate the impact of adding physical and occupational therapy consultation upon inpatient admission for a bone marrow transplantation (BMT). The purpose of this study is to investigate whether consultation with physical and occupational therapists as part of the general admission order set for patients scheduled for bone marrow transplant will result in reduced complications, morbidity, length of inpatient stay, 30-day readmission, and 90-day mortality. Baseline data collection will be used to determine eligibility. This study will be partially retrospective (pre-implementation of physical and occupational therapy consultation order) and partially prospective.

Treatment and study plan

Primary outcomes

  1. 30-day readmission

    Time frame: Up to 30 days after bone marrow transplantation

    30-day readmission rates will be calculated using historical data (pre-intervention) and compared to rates once physical and occupational therapy consultation has been included in the inpatient admission order set for bone marrow transplantation (BMT).

Secondary outcomes

  1. The feasibility

    Time frame: 1 day (the date of bone marrow transplantation)

    The proportion of individuals who received a physical and occupational therapy consultation in the prospective group.

  2. Acute care length of stay

    Time frame: Up to 90 days after bone marrow transplantation

    Acute care length of stay will be calculated using historical data (pre-intervention) and compared to rates once physical and occupational therapy consultation has been included in the inpatient admission order set for BMT.

  3. Mortality rates

    Time frame: Up to 90 days after bone marrow transplantation

    Mortality rates will be calculated by comparing, how many subjects died pre-intervention and post-intervention, using medical record data.

  4. Complication types and rates

    Time frame: Up to 90 days after bone marrow transplantation

    Complication types and rates will be calculated and compared pre-intervention and post-intervention using medical record data.
