Abstract: Background: Outcomes of hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) have markedly improved over the past 2 decades, underscoring a need to better understand the long-term health effects of this intensive treatment modality. We describe the burden of comprehensively assessed chronic medical conditions and frail health among survivors of childhood hematologic malignancies treated with HCT (n = 112) compared to those treated with conventional therapy (n = 1106).
