RESUMEN
We conducted a retrospective, multicentre study to compare consolidation therapy with or without first-line autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) for peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) patients in a real-world setting. We enrolled 347 PTCL patients who achieved complete response after first-line treatment. Of these, 257 received consolidation chemotherapy (non-ASCT group) and 90 received ASCT (ASCT group). Clinical outcomes were comparable between ASCT and non-ASCT groups. After propensity score matching, the 2-year cumulative incidence of treatment-related mortality and relapse remained similar between groups (1.9% vs. 2.0%, p = 0.985; 24.7% vs. 47.1%, p = 0.021). However, significant differences emerged in progression-free survival and overall survival probabilities. Within the T-cell lymphoma subgroup, ASCT patients exhibited favourable outcomes compared to non-ASCT patients: 2-year progression-free survival (73.4% vs. 50.8%, p = 0.024) and overall survival (92.1% vs. 73.5%, p = 0.021). Notably, no significant differences were observed for patients with NK/T-cell lymphoma. These real-world data suggest that up-front ASCT is a safe and effective consolidation option for PTCL patients in remission, particularly those with T-cell lymphoma.

In this multicentre, real-world study, we aimed to identify the clinical outcomes and safety of allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in T-lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-LBL). A total of 130 Ann Arbor stage III or IV T-LBL patients (>16 years) treated with allo-HSCT across five transplant centres were enrolled. The 2-year cumulative incidence of disease progression, the probabilities of progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and non-relapse mortality (NRM) after allo-HSCT were 21.0%, 69.8%, 79.5% and 9.2% respectively. Patients with central nervous system (CNS) involvement had a higher cumulative incidence of disease progression compared with those without CNS involvement (57.1% vs. 18.9%, HR 3.78, p = 0.014). Patients receiving allo-HSCT in non-remission (NR) had a poorer PFS compared with those receiving allo-HSCT in complete remission (CR) or partial remission (49.2% vs. 72.7%, HR 2.21, p = 0.041). Particularly for patients with bone marrow involvement and achieving CR before allo-HSCT, measurable residual disease (MRD) positivity before allo-HSCT was associated with a poorer PFS compared with MRD negativity (62.7% vs. 86.8%, HR 1.94, p = 0.036). On multivariate analysis, CNS involvement at diagnosis and receiving allo-HSCT in NR were associated with disease progression. Thus, our real-world data suggested that allo-HSCT appeared to be an effective therapy for adult T-LBL patients with Ann Arbor stage III or IV disease.

The global pandemic has resulted in the common occurrence of SARS-CoV-2 infection in the population. In the post-pandemic era, it is imperative to understand the influence of donor SARS-CoV-2 infection on outcomes after allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). We retrospectively analysed allo-HSCTs from donors with mild SARS-CoV-2 infection or early recovery stage (ERS) (group 1, n = 65) and late recovery stage (group 2, n = 120). Additionally, we included allo-HSCT from donors without prior SARS-CoV-2 infection as group 0 (n = 194). Transplants from donors with different SARS-CoV-2 infection status had comparable primary engraftment and survival rates. However, group 1 had higher incidences of acute graft-versus-host disease (aGvHD), grade II-IV (41.5% vs. 28.1% in group 0 [p = 0.014] and 30.6% in group 2 [p = 0.067]) and grade III-IV (22.2% vs. 9.6% [p = 0.004] in group 0 and 12.2% in group 2 [p = 0.049]). Conversely, the risk of aGvHD in group 2 was similar to that in group 0 (p > 0.5). Multivariable analysis identified group 1 associated with grade II-IV (hazard ratio [HR] 2.307, p = 0.010) and grade III-IV (HR 2.962, p = 0.001) aGvHD, which yielded no significant risk factors for survival. In conclusion, we preliminarily demonstrated donors in the active infection state or ERS of mild SARS-CoV-2 infection were associated with higher incidences of aGvHD in transplants from related donors.

The objective of this study was to identify independent prognostic factors of viral encephalitis (VE) after allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) and establish a prognostic model to identify post-transplant VE patients with a greater likelihood of mortality. Among 5380 patients in our centre from 2014 to 2022, 211 patients who developed VE after allo-HSCT were reviewed in this retrospective study. Prognostic factors were selected, and a prognostic model was constructed using Cox regression analysis. The model was subsequently validated and estimated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), a calibration plot and decision curve analysis (DCA). Glasgow Coma Scale score <9, lesions >3 lobes on magnetic resonance imaging and severe thrombocytopenia were identified as independent prognostic risk factors for VE patients who underwent allo-HSCT. The prognostic model GTM (GTM is an abbreviation for a model composed of three risk factors: GCS score <9, severe thrombocytopenia [platelet count <20 000 per microliter], and lesions >3 lobes on MRI) was established according to the regression coefficients. The validated internal AUC was 0.862 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.773-0.950), and the external AUC was 0.815 (95% CI, 0.708-0.922), indicating strong discriminatory ability. Furthermore, we constructed calibration plots that demonstrated good consistency between the predicted outcomes and the observed outcomes. DCA exhibited high accuracy in this system, leading to potential benefits for patients.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: For patients with steroid-refractory acute graft-versus-host disease (SR-aGVHD), effective second-line regimens are urgently needed. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have been used as salvage regimens for SR-aGVHD in the past. However, clinical trials and an overall understanding of the molecular mechanisms of MSCs combined with basiliximab for SR-aGVHD are limited, especially in haploidentical haemopoietic stem cell transplantation (HID HSCT). METHODS: The primary endpoint of this multicentre, randomized, controlled trial was the 4-week complete response (CR) rate of SR-aGVHD. A total of 130 patients with SR-aGVHD were assigned in a 1:1 randomization schedule to the MSC group (receiving basiliximab plus MSCs) or control group (receiving basiliximab alone) (NCT04738981). RESULTS: Most enrolled patients (96.2%) received HID HSCT. The 4-week CR rate of SR-aGVHD in the MSC group was obviously better than that in the control group (83.1% vs. 55.4%, P = 0.001). However, for the overall response rates at week 4, the two groups were comparable. More patients in the control group used ≥ 6 doses of basiliximab (4.6% vs. 20%, P = 0.008). We collected blood samples from 19 consecutive patients and evaluated MSC-derived immunosuppressive cytokines, including HO1, GAL1, GAL9, TNFIA6, PGE2, PDL1, TGF-ß and HGF. Compared to the levels before MSC infusion, the HO1 (P = 0.0072) and TGF-ß (P = 0.0243) levels increased significantly 1 day after MSC infusion. At 7 days after MSC infusion, the levels of HO1, GAL1, TNFIA6 and TGF-ß tended to increase; however, the differences were not statistically significant. Although the 52-week cumulative incidence of cGVHD in the MSC group was comparable to that in the control group, fewer patients in the MSC group developed cGVHD involving ≥3 organs (14.3% vs. 43.6%, P = 0.006). MSCs were well tolerated, no infusion-related adverse events (AEs) occurred and other AEs were also comparable between the two groups. However, patients with malignant haematological diseases in the MSC group had a higher 52-week disease-free survival rate than those in the control group (84.8% vs. 65.9%, P = 0.031). CONCLUSIONS: For SR-aGVHD after allo-HSCT, especially HID HSCT, the combination of MSCs and basiliximab as the second-line therapy led to significantly better 4-week CR rates than basiliximab alone. The addition of MSCs not only did not increase toxicity but also provided a survival benefit.

BACKGROUND: There is an urgent unmet need for effective initial treatment for acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) adding to the standard first-line therapy with corticosteroids after allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). METHODS: We performed a multicentre, open-label, randomized, phase 3 study. Eligible patients (aged 15 years or older, had received allo-HSCT for a haematological malignancy, developed aGVHD, and received no previous therapies for aGVHD) were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive either 5 mg/m2 MTX on Days 1, 3, or 8 and then combined with corticosteroids or corticosteroids alone weekly. RESULTS: The primary endpoint was the overall response rate (ORR) on Day 10. A total of 157 patients were randomly assigned to receive either MTX plus corticosteroids (n = 78; MTX group) or corticosteroids alone (n = 79; control group). The Day 10 ORR was 97% for the MTX group and 81% for the control group (p = .005). Among patients with mild aGVHD, the Day 10 ORR was 100% for the MTX group and 86% for the control group (p = .001). The 1-year estimated failure-free survival was 69% for the MTX group and 41% for the control group (p = .002). There were no differences in treatment-related adverse events between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, mini-dose MTX combined with corticosteroids can significantly improve the ORR in patients with aGVHD and is well tolerated, although it did not achieve the prespecified 20% improvement with the addition of MTX. TRIAL REGISTRATION: The trial was registered with clinicaltrials.gov (NCT04960644).

The presence of donor-specific antibodies (DSA) are associated with graft failure either following human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-mismatched allogeneic stem cell transplantation or after organ transplantation. Although targeting B cells and plasma cells have been used for desensitization, there have been reports of failure. T-follicular helper (Tfh) cells assist B cells in differentiating into antibody-secreting plasma cells. We used haploidentical allograft as a platform to investigate the possibility of targeting Tfh cells to desensitize DSA. The quantities of circulating Tfh (cTfh) cell subsets in allograft candidates were abnormal, and these cells, including the cTfh2 and cTfhem cell subsets, were positively related to the production of anti-HLA antibodies. Ex vivo experiments showed that the cTfh cells of anti-HLA antibody-positive allograft candidates could induce B cells to differentiate into DSA-producing plasmablasts. The immune synapse could be involved in the assistance of cTfh cells to B cells in antibody production. In vitro experiments and in vivo clinical pilot studies indicated that targeting cTfh cells with sirolimus can inhibit their auxiliary function in assisting B cells. Ex vivo and in vivo studies demonstrated the effect of sirolimus and rituximab on DSA desensitization compared with either sirolimus or rituximab alone (60%, 43.75%, and 30%, respectively). Our findings provide new insight into the role of Tfh cells in the pathogenesis of DSA production in HLA-mismatched transplant candidates. Our data also indicate that targeting Tfh cells is a novel strategy for DSA desensitization and combination of sirolimus and rituximab might be a potential therapy. The prospective cohort of this study is registered at http://www.chictr.org.cn as #ChiCTR-OPC-15006672.

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.

Membranous nephropathy (MN) is a rare complication that can occur after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). MN patients may develop nephrotic syndrome or even kidney failure, which greatly affects their quality of life and prognosis. However, current knowledge regarding MN after allo-HSCT is limited. Thus, a multicenter nested caseâcontrol study was conducted. Patients who had been diagnosed with MN after allo-HSCT were retrospectively identified at 8 HSCT centers. A total of 51 patients with MN after allo-HSCT were included. The median age of MN patients after allo-HSCT was 38 years, and the median duration from HSCT to MN was 18 months. The use of HLA-matched donors (P = 0.0102) and peripheral blood as the graft source (P = 0.0060) were identified as independent predisposing risk factors for the onset of MN after allo-HSCT. Compared to those in the control group, the incidence of extensive chronic graft-versus-host disease was greater in the MN patients (P = 0.0002). A total of 31 patients developed nephrotic syndrome. Patients receiving combination treatments of corticosteroids and immunosuppressants appeared to have better outcomes. In conclusion, MN is a rare but occasionally severe complication following HSCT and may require active treatment.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Severe pneumonia is one of the most important causes of mortality after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). Adenovirus (ADV) is a significant cause of severe viral pneumonia after allo-HSCT, and we aimed to identify the clinical manifestations, prognostic factors, and outcomes of ADV pneumonia after allo-HSCT. METHODS: Twenty-nine patients who underwent allo-HSCT at the Peking University Institute of Hematology and who experienced ADV pneumonia after allo-HSCT were enrolled in this study. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate the probability of overall survival (OS). Potential prognostic factors for 100-day OS after ADV pneumonia were evaluated through univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses. RESULTS: The incidence rate of ADV pneumonia after allo-HSCT was approximately 0.71%. The median time from allo-HSCT to the occurrence of ADV pneumonia was 99 days (range 17-609 days). The most common clinical manifestations were fever (86.2%), cough (34.5%) and dyspnea (31.0%). The 100-day probabilities of ADV-related mortality and OS were 40.4% (95% CI 21.1%-59.7%) and 40.5% (95% CI 25.2%-64.9%), respectively. Patients with low-level ADV DNAemia had lower ADV-related mortality and better OS than did those with high-level (≥ 106 copies/ml in plasma) ADV DNAemia. According to the multivariate analysis, high-level ADV DNAemia was the only risk factor for intensive care unit admission, invasive mechanical ventilation, ADV-related mortality, and OS after ADV pneumonia. CONCLUSIONS: We first reported the prognostic factors and confirmed the poor outcomes of patients with ADV pneumonia after allo-HSCT. Patients with high-level ADV DNAemia should receive immediate and intensive therapy.

Herpes zoster (HZ) refers to the rash appearing on dermatomes due to varicella zoster virus (VZV) reactivation. The incidence of HZ is significantly higher in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) recipients than in non-HSCT recipients. Although acyclovir prophylaxis is routinely administered to every allo-HSCT recipient for 1 year after transplantation, some individuals eventually develop late-onset HZ after completing prophylaxis. Little information is known about the clinical features of HZ after prophylactic antiviral treatment discontinuation, and an effective predictive model of late-onset HZ needs to be established. A total of 3366 patients who had received allo-HSCT from 2012 to 2017 were included in our study, among whom 201 developed HZ after 1 year (late-onset HZ). We designed a nested case-control study to identify potential predictors of late-onset HZ. Finally, we established a predictive model using binary logistic regression analysis. Age (p < .001), use of immunosuppressants at +1 year (p < .001), CD4-CD8 ratio at +1 year (p < .001), certain mental disorders (depression, anxiety, insomnia and adjustment disorder) (p < .001), engraftment time of neutrophils (p < .001), and CD8+ cell count at +30 days (p < .001) were independent predictors of late-onset HZ. A risk grading system was established based on regression coefficients. Discrimination and calibration analysis indicated that the model had good performance. We also identified several predictive factors of the incidence of HZ-related complications. This is the first scoring system for predicting the incidence of late-onset HZ after allo-HSCT. This model can be applied to identify individuals at high risk of late-onset HZ in the early period after receiving allo-HSCT.

PURPOSE: The aim was to analyze the pregnancy and neonatal outcomes of pregnant women with new- onset acute myeloid leukemia (AML) diagnosed during pregnancy. METHODS: In this retrospective study 25 pregnant women who were diagnosed with new-onset AML during pregnancy from January 2010 to January 2021 were enrolled. RESULTS: A total of 4, 13 and 8 pregnant women with new-onset AML were diagnosed during the first, second, and third trimesters, respectively. Twelve of the 25 pregnant women underwent therapeutic abortion and 13 gave birth (9 preterm and 4 full-term newborns). The gestational age at initial clinical manifestations (13.4 ± 3.7 vs. 27.7 ± 5.6 weeks, P < 0.01) and diagnosis (16.9 ± 4.4 vs. 29.7 ± 5.5 weeks, P < 0.01) was lower in the pregnant women who underwent therapeutic abortion than in those who gave birth. Eighty-four percent (21/25) of the pregnant women with new-onset AML during pregnancy survived and were in remission and all the newborns were born alive. Three of the 13 newborns were exposed to chemotherapy, but no congenital malformations were observed. Eight newborns were admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), and all recovered. The complete blood counts and biochemical examinations of the 8 newborns were normal. CONCLUSIONS: New-onset AML during an earlier stage of pregnancy may increase the risk of poor pregnancy outcomes. The neonatal outcomes of pregnant women with new-onset AML during pregnancy are good with proper treatment.

Previous studies have demonstrated that TP53 mutation is correlated with insufficient therapy response and unfavorable prognosis in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Few studies have investigated the impact of TP53 mutation in ALL patients after haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT). We completed a retrospective study of 65 ALL patients with available TP53 status who underwent haplo-HSCT. They were divided into a TP53 mutation group (TP53mut ) and a TP53 wild-type (TP53wt ) group. TP53mut showed comparable 2-year cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR) rates (13.1% vs 12.5%, P = .96) and 2-year leukemia-free survival (LFS) (74.2% vs 77.4%, P = .80) with TP53wt . No significant differences in 2-year overall survival (OS) rates (82.9% vs 87.3%, P = .61) or 2-year NRM rates (12.7% vs 10.2%, P = .69) were observed in TP53mut and TP53wt patients. Multivariate analysis suggested that white blood cell (WBC) count at initial diagnosis (>50 × 109 /L: hazard ratio [HR] = 3.860, P = .016) and age (>40 years old: HR = 4.120, P = .012) are independent risk factors for 2-year LFS. Our study showed that TP53 mutations may not be related to the unfavorable impact on survival in ALL patients after treatment with haplo-HSCT. The present results suggested that haplo-HSCT may eliminate the poor prognosis effect of TP53 mutation in ALL.

Acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) patients with tumour protein p53 (TP53) mutations are often resistant to chemotherapy and have worse clinical outcomes than patients without TP53 mutations. In this study, we compared clinical outcomes of patients with AML with and without TP53 mutations who underwent haploidentical haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT). For the TP53-mutation group and TP53 wild-type group, the 2-year cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR) was (39.0% vs. 21.2% respectively, p = 0.088), the 2-year non-relapse mortality (NRM) rate was (3.2% vs. 8.4% respectively, p = 0.370), the 2-year leukaemia-free survival (LFS) was (57.7% vs. 71.3% respectively, p = 0.205), the 2-year overall survival (OS) rate was (69.9% vs. 81.3% respectively, p = 0.317), the 100-day cumulative incidence of Grade II-IV acute graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) was (6.5% vs. 20.7% respectively, p = 0.074), the 2-year cumulative incidence of chronic GvHD was (52.3% vs. 53.1% respectively, p = 0.493) and the 2-year GvHD-free/relapse-free survival (GRFS) was (57.7% vs. 69.6% respectively, p = 0.347). Our data showed that there were no significant differences in 2-year clinical outcomes between the two groups. Multivariable analysis showed TP53 mutations had no significant impact on CIR, NRM, OS, GvHD, LFS or GRFS. Our findings suggest that patients with AML with TP53 mutations may at least partially benefit from haplo-HSCT. Haplo-HSCT might be the recommended treatment for such patients.

Prolonged isolated thrombocytopenia (PT) is a life-threatening comorbidity associated with allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). Our previous study indicated that dysfunctional bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (BM MSCs) played a role in PT pathogenesis and that reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation was related to BM MSC senescence and apoptosis. However, the mechanism of the increase in ROS levels in the BM MSCs of PT patients is unknown. In the current case-control study, we investigated whether nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2), which is a central regulator of the cellular anti-oxidant response that can clear ROS in human BM MSCs, was associated with PT after allo-HSCT. We evaluated whether an NRF2 agonist (tert-butylhydroquinone, TBHQ) could enhance BM MSCs from PT patients in vitro. We found that BM MSCs from PT patients exhibited increased ROS levels and reduced NRF2 expression. Multivariate analysis showed that low NRF2 expression was an independent risk factor for primary PT [p = 0.032, Odds ratio (OR) 0.868, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.764-0.988]. In-vitro treatment with TBHQ improved the quantity and function of BM MSCs from PT patients by downregulating ROS levels and rescued the impaired BM MSC support of megakaryocytopoiesis. In conclusion, these results suggested that NRF2 downregulation in human BM MSCs might be involved in the pathogenesis of PT after allo-HSCT and that BM MSC impairment could be improved by NRF2 agonist in vitro. Although further validation is needed, our data indicate that NRF2 agonists might be a potential therapeutic approach for PT patients after allo-HSCT.

We aimed to identify the efficacy of haploidentical related donor (HID) haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in adolescent and young adults (AYAs) with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) in a large cohort. Consecutive AML AYAs (15-39 years old, n = 599) receiving HID HSCT in complete remission (CR) were included. The 3-year cumulative incidence of measurable residual disease occurrence, relapse and non-relapse mortality after HID HSCT was 28.6% (95% CI: 25.0-32.2), 11.6% (95% CI: 9.0-14.2) and 6.7% (95% CI: 4.7-8.7) respectively. The 3-year probability of event-free survival, leukaemia-free survival (LFS) and overall survival (OS) after HID HSCT was 60.7% (95% CI: 56.9-64.8), 81.7% (95% CI: 78.7-84.9) and 85.6% (95% CI: 82.8-88.4) respectively. In multivariable analysis, AML risk category at diagnosis and comorbidity burdens before HID HSCT were independently associated with LFS and OS. Compared to the older adults (≥ 40 years, n = 355) with AML receiving HID HSCT in CR during the same time period, AYAs have a lower incidence of non-relapse mortality and higher probabilities of LFS and OS. Thus, we firstly confirmed the safety and efficacy of HID HSCT in AYAs with AML-CR.

Patients who receive allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) may develop sepsis, which result in a highly intensive care unit admission rate and mortality. Therefore, short-term and long-term prognostic models for sepsis after allo-HSCT are urgently needed. We enrolled patients receiving allo-HSCT who developed sepsis after allo-HSCT at Peking University People's Hospital between 2012 and 2021, including 287 patients who received allo-HSCT in 2018-2021 in the derivation cohort, and 337 patients in 2012-2017 in the validation cohort. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify prognostic factors, and these identified factors were incorporated into two scoring models. Seven independent factors (acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), chronic GVHD (cGVHD), total bilirubin, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and organ dysfunction [renal, lung and heart]) were included in the 6-month prognostic model, and six factors (cGVHD, C-reactive protein, LDH, organ dysfunction [lung, neurologic and coagulation]) were included in the 14-day prognostic model. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curves, calibration plots and decision curve analysis demonstrated the robust predictive performance of the models, better than the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score. Early identification of patients with high risk of 6-month and 14-day death may allow clinicians to provide timely treatments and improve the therapeutic effects.

The rate of intensive care unit (ICU) mortality in patients with hematologic malignancies is high. The risk factors for this were inconsistent across several previous studies, and there is currently no accepted consensus around risk factors for these patients. We aimed to identify which prognostic factors were associated with ICU mortality in critically ill patients with hematologic malignancies, nearly half of which were allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) recipients. In addition, we aimed to compare the characteristics and clinical outcomes of patients with and without allogenic allo-HSCT. In total, 217 patients with hematologic malignancies were enrolled consecutive, 119 (54.8%) of whom underwent HSCT (allo-HSCT: n = 115). All survivors were followed up with until August 1, 2022. The rate of ICU mortality in this cohort was 54.4%: 55.5 and 53.1% for the patients with and without HSCT, respectively (p = 0.724). The probabilities of survival after ICU admission were also comparable between the patients who had allo-HSCT and those who did not. A multivariable analysis revealed that cerebrovascular disease, hyperlactic acidemia on the day of ICU admission, lower platelet count, use of vasoactive drugs, and absence of noninvasive ventilation on the day of ICU admission were independent risk factors for ICU mortality. For patients with three to five of these risk factors, the rate of ICU mortality was as high as 84.6%, which was significantly higher than that of other patients. In this study, the ICU mortality rate in patients with hematologic malignancies was still high, particularly for those with multiple risk factors. However, allo-HSCT was not found to be a risk factor for ICU mortality.

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) reactivation is an important issue in allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). The incidence of early CMV reactivation is notably high in HLA-mismatched HCT. However, the interactions between HLA mismatch and acute graft-versus-host disease (aGvHD), a time-dependent event, make it methodologically challenging to evaluate the independent impact on CMV reactivation of the two variables. We retrospectively analyzed 355 patients with acquired aplastic anemia who received related donor transplants using a unified antithymocyte globulin-based platform. Patients were divided into group 1 (6/6 HLA match), group 2 (1-2/6 HLA allelic mismatch), and group 3 (3/6 HLA allelic mismatch). The impact of covariates was analyzed through two models: (1) time-dependent Cox and (2) dynamic landmarking analysis. The time-dependent Cox model showed that the HLA mismatch of 3/6 alleles (hazard ratio (HR) =1.852, P = .004) and aGvHD (HR = 1.009, P = .019) were independent risk factors for CMV reactivation. With the dynamic landmarking analysis, a higher HLA disparity correlated to increased early CMV reactivation (HR = 1.606, P = .001) at all time points. Developing aGvHD following HCT was generally associated with a higher incidence of CMV reactivation (HR = 1.623, P = .013), though its impact decreased with successive later landmark time points. In conclusion, our data suggest that the higher HLA disparity and aGvHD increases susceptibility to early CMV reactivation. In particular, the dynamic landmarking analysis demonstrated the time-varying effect of aGvHD on CMV reactivation, and HLA mismatch showed a profound impact over time following HCT.

Haploidentical allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT) is a significant alternative treatment for severe aplastic anaemia (SAA). To improve this process by modifying the risk stratification system, we conducted a retrospective study using our database. 432 SAA patients who received haplo-HSCT between 2006 and 2020 were enrolled. These patients were divided into a training (n = 288) and a validation (n = 144) subset randomly. In the training cohort, longer time from diagnosis to transplantation, poorer Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) status and higher haematopoietic cell transplantation-specific comorbidity index (HCT-CI) score were independent risk factors for worse treatment-related mortality (TRM) in the final multivariable model. The haplo-HSCT scoring system was developed by these three parameters. Three-year TRM after haplo-HSCT were 6% [95% confidence interval (CI), 1-21%], 21% (95% CI, 7-40%), and 47% (95% CI, 20-70%) for the low-, intermediate-, and high-risk group, respectively (P < 0·0001). In the validation cohort, the haplo-HSCT scoring system also separated patients into three risk groups with increasing risk of TRM: intermediate-risk [hazard ratio (HR) 2·45, 95% CI, 0·92-6·53] and high-risk (HR 11·74, 95% CI, 3·07-44·89) compared with the low-risk group (P = 0·001). In conclusion, the haplo-HSCT scoring system could effectively predict TRM after transplantation.
