Percentage of Participants With Delirium |
Delirium incidence will be measured using the Delirium Rating Scale (DRS). The DRS is a is a 10-item, clinician-rated scale that rates the severity of delirium symptoms over a 24-hour period using all available information from the patient interview, mental status examination, medical history and tests, nursing observations, and family reports. The maximum possible score is 32. Higher scores suggest more severe symptoms. A cut-off score of > 12 has been suggested to distinguish patients with delirium from patients with other neuropsychiatric disorders. Delirium incidence will be defined as at least one assessment with DRS > 12. |
Assessments will occur in the week prior to transplant, then 3 times weekly post-transplant until 30 days post-transplant or discharge, whichever comes first. |

Delirium Severity |
Delirium severity will be measured using the Delirium Rating Scale (DRS). The DRS is a is a 10-item, clinician-rated scale that rates the severity of delirium symptoms over a 24-hour period using all available information from the patient interview, mental status examination, medical history and tests, nursing observations, and family reports. The score ranges from 0 to 32 with higher scores reflecting more severe symptoms. A cut-off score of > 12 has been suggested to distinguish patients with delirium from patients with other neuropsychiatric disorders. The DRS medians and ranges are reported for each group at baseline and in each week of hospitalization for thiamine and placebo groups. |
Assessments will occur in the week prior to transplant (baseline), then at least 3 times post-transplant on a weekly basis until 30 days post-transplant or discharge, whichever comes first, up to week 5 |

Secondary |
Delirium Duration |
Delirium duration will be measured using the Delirium Rating Scale (DRS). The DRS is a is a 10-item, clinician-rated scale that rates the severity of delirium symptoms over a 24-hour period using all available information from the patient interview, mental status examination, medical history and tests, nursing observations, and family reports. The maximum possible score is 32. Higher scores suggest more severe symptoms. A cut-off score of > 12 has been suggested to distinguish patients with delirium from patients with other neuropsychiatric disorders. Delirium duration will be reported as number of consecutive days during which DRS > 12. |
Assessments will occur in the week prior to transplant, then 3 times weekly post-transplant until 30 days post-transplant or discharge, whichever comes first. |

Secondary |
Concentration of Thiamine Status Stratified by Delirium Status |
The relationship between thiamine levels at the end of the seven day administration of thiamine and the development of delirium at any point during the thirty days post-transplant or the post-transplant hospitalization, whichever comes first, will be examined. Thiamine levels (nmol/L) are presented in participants who did and did not experience delirium. |
From end of 7-day intervention period until the development of delirium at any point during the post-transplant hospitalization up to a maximum of 30 days |

Change in Health-related Quality of Life Scores (Month 1) |
HRQOL will be assessed using the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Bone Marrow Transplant (FACT-BMT). The FACT-BMT is a 47-item self-administered assessment which asks individuals to rate questions related to physical, social/family, emotional, and functional well-being on a 5-point Likert Scale (0, not at all to 4, very much). Scores are summed across the items, resulting in a score from 0 to 148, with higher scores indicating better quality of life. Negative change scores indicate worse HRQOL with time. |

Change in Depression Scores (Month 1) |
Depression will be assessed using the Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System - Depression (PROMIS-D) 8a short form. Scores for all PROMIS measures are reported on the T-score metric in which the mean=50 and standard deviation (SD) = 10 are centered on the general population means. Higher scores represent greater degrees of mood symptoms. Positive change scores indicate worse mood over time. |

Change in Post-traumatic Stress Symptom Scores (Month 1) |
Post-traumatic stress symptoms will be measured using the Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome Scale 14 (PTSS-14). The PTSS-14 is a 14-item self-administered assessment. Questions are on a 7-point Likert-type Scale (1, never to 7, always) resulting in a total score between 14 and 98. Higher scores represent a more likely diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Positive change scores indicate worse post-traumatic stress over time. |
