(A) Comparison between KPS scores at admission in a PIU, on the day of stem cell transplantation (day 0), and upon discharge from a PIU in the aibo and control groups. KPS scores were the following: at admission to PIU (84.6 ± 10.4 vs. 88.0 ± 4.2, p = 0.387), on day 0 (73.6 ± 9.2 vs. 75.0 ± 8.5, p = 0.605), and upon discharge from PIU (82.7 ± 11.9 vs. 83.0 ± 8.2, p = 0.918) in the aibo and control groups. (B) Comparison between oral intake at admission in a PIU, on day 0, and upon discharge from a PIU in the aibo and control groups. %Oral intake was the following: at admission to a PIU (83.2 ± 22.5% vs. 87.7 ± 22.3%, p = 0.557), on day 0 (45.1 ± 39.4% vs. 70.1 ± 38.3%, p = 0.223), and upon discharge from a PIU (76.6 ± 21.6% vs. 77.4 ± 20.1%, p = 0.863) in the aibo and control groups. (C) Comparison between NRS scores at admission in a PIU, on day 0, and upon discharge from PIU in the aibo and control groups. NRS scores were the following: at admission to a PIU (0.27 ± 0.47 vs. 0.10 ± 0.32, p = 0.512), on day 0 (0.45 ± 0.69 vs. 0.20 ± 0.63, p = 0.387), and upon discharge from PIU (0.27 ± 0.647 vs. 0.0 ± 0.0, p = 0.512) in the aibo and control groups. ]: Mann–Whitney test.
