Overview
Prospective, multicenter, spontaneous, non-interventional, non pharmacological. Study aimed at evaluate kinetics, diagnostic and prognostic value of pro-ADM (proadrenomedullin) as compared to PCT (procalcitonin) in patients presenting with infections or other complications post hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT)
Description
Evaluation of diagnostic performance of pro-ADM as compared to palliative care therapy (PCT) in paediatric and young adult patients with any type of complications after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or with transplant related complications.
