To explore current practices of nutrition and metabolic screening, assessment and management
      prior to Haematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant (HSCT) in UK and ROI transplant centres.

      Nutrition and metabolic parameters assessed in the survey include glycaemic control, lipid
      function, liver function, nutritional screening, nutritional assessment, nutrition
      intervention (tube feeding, diet, micronutrient) and exercise.

      This work will be used to inform the design of a UK dual centre feasibility study of
      personalised nutrition and metabolic care for HSCT patients prior to transplantation.

Exploration of Nutrition and Metabolic Prehabilitation Practices for Haematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant (HSCT) in UK and ROI Transplant Centres: A BSBMT Multi-centre Survey

full survey completion: see parameters below

a) Glycaemic screening will be assessed by 2 responses: How often would you measure blood glucose and urinary glucose prior to HSCT? (likert scale - Always, often, sometimes, rarely, never)

b. Lipid parameters: How often would you measure blood glucose and urinary glucose prior to HSCT? (likert scale - Always, often, sometimes, rarely, never)

c. Liver and renal function screening frequency will be asked: 1. How often would you measure liver/kidney function as blood samples prior to HSCT? (likert scale - Always, often, sometimes, rarely, never); 2. How often would you measure liver/kidney function using a scan prior to HSCT? (likert scale - Always, often, sometimes, rarely, never)

d. Nutritional screening and assessment: Routine inclusion of nutritional screening and assessment practices prior to HSCT will be assessed using 4 mandatory questions, 3 - yes/no/unsure and 1 categorical question. Practical details of strategies of assessment and measurement will be assessed using 5 categorical questions and 6 free text questions.

e. Assessment of body composition: Routine inclusion of body composition assessment prior to HSCT will be assessed using 2 mandatory questions, 1 - yes/no/unsure and 1 categorical question. Practical details of strategies of assessment and measurement will be assessed using 2 categorical questions and 3 free text questions.

f. Dietary advice: Routine inclusion of dietary advice prior to HSCT will be assessed using 3 mandatory questions, 1 - yes/no/unsure and 2 - five point likert scales (definitely = 4, very probably = 3, probably=2, probably not = 1, definitely not =0). Practical details of types of dietary advice and strategies for implementation will be assessed using 2 categorical questions, 2 free text questions and 3 - six point likert scaled consensus statements (Always= 5, very frequently = 4, occasionally = 3, rarely = 2, very rarely = 1, never = 0)

g. Enteral feeding: Routine inclusion of enteral feeding prior to HSCT will be assessed using 2 mandatory questions, 1 - categorical. Practical details of types of enteral feeding tubes 2 questions (1 - categorical questions, 1 free text)

h. Micronutrient supplementation: Routine inclusion of micronutrient advice prior to HSCT will be assessed using 1 mandatory question, yes/no/unsure format. Practical details of micronutrient supplementation practices using 1 categorical questions and 1 free text question.

i. Exercise: As part of routine practice how often do patients receive exercise advice prior to HSCT? (likert response: Always, often, sometimes, rarely, never); As part of "routine practice" how often do your patients have their activity levels measured prior to HSCT i.e. questionnaire or physical assessment? response: Always, often, sometimes, rarely, never); and 2 multi select questions to determine professionals delivering care.

a. Point of effectiveness: using responses from three questions; Do you think prehabilitation should be considered as part of future services for HSCT? (Yes/no/unsure); When in the HSCT pathway do you think a prehabilitation service could be introduced? Assessed via categorical data (Prior to diagnosis, at diagnosis prior to chemotherapy, during induction chemotherapy, end of induction chemotherapy, maintenance chemo, during HSCT assessment clinic, other than listed); Do you think any changes are needed to the Silver et al (2013) prehabilitation definition in order for it to be relevant to HSCT?* (yes/no/unsure); 2 x free text answers for concerns and barriers to implementation.

a) This would be answered with two questions: How important do you think exercise, nutrition and psychological care are in prehabilitation programme for HSCT? (very important, important, moderately important, slightly important, not important) ; Are there any other components that you think should be considered as part of a prehabilitation programme for HSCT? (free text)

2 x single select; What components of prehabilitation does your service include? (nutrition, psychology, exercise, other); Do you have a dedicated prehabilitation service for HSCT at your unit? (yes/no/unsure); Which other components are included as part of your prehabilitation programme for HSCT?
