ABSTRACT
We aimed to describe the clinical characteristics, particularly the occurrence and risk factors of severe/critical illness, in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell (allo-HSCT) recipients infected with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by Omicron variant in an observational prospective study (n = 311). The median time from allo-HSCT to COVID-19 diagnosis was 8.5 months (range 0.8-106.1) months. Four patients (1.3%) were reported to be asymptomatic during Omicron variant infection, and 135 (43.4%) patients showed lower respiratory tract disease. Thirty-four (10.9%) patients were categorized into serious infection (severe illness n = 25; critical illness n = 9) and the median duration from COVID-19 diagnosis to serious infections was 6 days (range, 0-29) days. Thirteen (4.2%) and 6 (1.9%) patients required intensive care unit care and invasive mechanical ventilation, respectively. Receiving more than 1 type of immunosuppressive therapies at COVID-19 diagnosis was associated with severity and persistence of infection. Six patients (1.9%) died after diagnosis of COVID-19 infection. The 4-week probability of overall survival after COVID-19 diagnosis was 98.7%, which was 100% and 88.2% for non-serious and serious infection group (P < 0.001), respectively. Thus, we observed a relatively low serious infection and mortality rate in allo-HSCT recipients infected with COVID-19 caused by Omicron variant.
