ABSTRACT
Platelet transfusion refractoriness (PTR) is an intractable issue in hematological patients, which increases bleeding risks and hospitalization costs to a great extent. We reviewed 108 patients with hematological diseases including acute leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, aplastic anemia, and others who received allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) from January 2019 through December 2020. After multivariable logistic regression, we found that splenomegaly (odds ratio [OR] = 26.98, p < .001) and JAK mutation (OR = 17.32, p = .024) were independent risk factors for PTR. During the period of transplantation, patients in the PTR group had a significantly higher platelet transfusion demand, which was reflected in the increased number of platelet transfusions (10.23 ± 6.696 vs. 5.06 ± 1.904, p < .001). After multivariate adjustment, PTR turned out to be independently associated with worse overall survival (hazard ratio = 2.794, 95% confidence interval = 1.083-7.207, p = .034). In conclusion, we found that splenomegaly and JAK gene mutation were independent risk factors for PTR in patients with hematological diseases. A history of PTR prior to allo-HSCT indicates a poor prognosis.
What is the context?Platelet transfusion refractoriness is a critical issue, and it greatly increases bleeding risks and hospitalization costs.Patients with hematological diseases tend to develop PTR.PTR results from immune and nonimmune factors and the latter account for 8090%.At present, there are few studies focused on the inducing factors of PTR, and the specific mechanism is not clear.What is new?In this study, we investigated 108 patients with hematological disorders who received allogeneic HSCT from January 2019 to December 2020.We found that splenomegaly and JAK gene mutation were independent risk factors for PTR in patients with hematological diseases.PTR had a passive effect on the prognosis of patients after HSCT, as indicated by worse OS and a trend toward lower platelets after transplantation.PTR might affect megakaryocyte reconstitution after transplantation.What is the impact?This study provides evidence that hematological patients with splenomegaly should be alert to the occurrence of PTR, which often indicates a worse prognosis of transplantation.Spleen reduction and JAK inhibitors in the treatment of PTR are worth exploring.AbbreviationsPLT platelets; PTR platelet transfusion refractoriness; HSCT hematopoietic stem cell transplantation; OR odds ratio; HR hazard ratio; CI confidence interval; IQR interquartile range; SD standard deviation; HLA human leukocyte antigen; HPA human platelet antigen; OS overall survival; RFS relapse free survival; PI post-transfusion increment; PPR percentage platelet recovery; CCI corrected count increment; ICU intensive care unit; AA aplastic anemia; MDS myelodysplastic syndrome; AML acute myeloid leukemia; ALL acute lymphocytic leukemia; CML chronic myeloid leukemia; CMML chronic myelomonocytic leukemia; MPN myeloproliferative neoplasm; SI splenic irradiation; Abs antibodies; CR complete remission; DAC decitabine; GVHD graft-versus-host disease; BM bone marrow; PB peripheral blood.
