Timeframe: 6 months after treatment

Peak exercise cardiac output refers to the amount of blood that the heart pumps out per minute. It is an important measure of how effectively the heart is working to deliver oxygen and nutrients to the body's tissues. Peak exercise cardiac output was measured in a cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exam.

Population: Hospital restrictions due to COVID-19 prevented the data collection of A-V O2 on all participants who completed the study.

Arteriovenous Oxygen Difference (A-V O2) is the difference in oxygen levels between arterial blood and venous blood. A-V O2 difference is important because it reflects how much oxygen is being used by the body's tissues during exercise or physical activity. A higher A-V O2 difference is generally considered better.

Population: Hospital restrictions due to COVID-19 prevented the data collection of VO2 on all participants who completed the study.

Maximum rate of oxygen consumption (VO2) is an objective measure of cardiorespiratory fitness. VO2 was assessed with a cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET). Higher VO2 represents greater cardiorespiratory fitness.

Population: Hospital restrictions due to COVID-19 prevented the data collection of LVEF on all participants who completed the study.

Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF, %) is a measure of cardiac function. LVEF was assessed with a cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exam. The higher the LVEF, the more efficiently the heart is at pumping blood to the rest of the body with every heart beat.

Population: Hospital restrictions due to COVID-19 prevented the data collection of the COWA test on all participants who completed the study.

The COWA test was used to assess cognitive function and verbal fluency. Participants were asked to produce as many words as they can that begin with the given letter (i.e. T or L) within a 1-min time period. The COWA test total score was measured by summing the total number of acceptable words produced for three different letters. Minimum possible score for the COWA text is 0. There is no maximum possible score. Higher scores represent greater verbal fluency.

Population: Some participants refused or failed to complete the FACT-Lym survey at 6-months.

The Functional Assessment of Cancer Treatment-Lymphoma (FACT-Lym) is a 42-item scale used to assess the health-related quality of life of lymphoma survivors. The FACT-Lym questionnaire examines the four primary domains of HRQL: physical, social, emotional, and functional well-being, and patient's concerns related to lymphoma. The FACT-Lym was examined as a total score, ranging from 0 to 168 points. Higher scores reflect better health-related quality of life.

Population: Some participants refused or failed to complete the FACT-Fatigue survey at 6-months.

The FACT-fatigue is a 13-item scale that has been widely used to assess cancer-related fatigue. The FACT-fatigue questionnaire was scored by summing all 13 items with a reverse point system. This produces a range of 0 to 52, with a higher score indicating better functioning and less fatigue.
