Data were collected on 86 pediatric patients who underwent HSCT. Forty
patients (46.5%) were non-Hispanic White, 29 (33.7%) Hispanic, 10
(11.6%) Black, and 7 (8.1%) Native American. Where preliminary
analyses indicated a difference in QoL by patient race, there were no
significant differences in physical, emotional, social, and school
functioning by patient race after adjusting for transplant
characteristics (age at transplant, sex, diagnosis, donor type and
conditioning regimen) and determinants of socioeconomic status
(insurance type, estimated household income).
