Impact of Age and Colony-Stimulating Factor Use on Hospital Length of Stay for Febrile Neutropenia in CHOP-Treated Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma

Abstract

Older NHL patients have a higher risk of hospitalization for FN and longer LOS. The majority of hospitalization days occur in the first 2 cycles of chemotherapy. Early CSF use is associated with decreased risk of repeated hospitalizations and shorter total LOS. Secondary CSF use is also associated with reduced risk of repeated FNH.
