ABSTRACT

Objective ThispaperpresentedaninvestigationonthesimilaritiesanddifferencesintheclinicalfeaturesandCTfindings betweenallogeneichematopoieticstem celltransplantation (allo-HSCT)inducedandnon-transplantinducedair-leaksyndromes (ALS)inpatientssufferingfromhematopathy,toimprovetheunderstandingofALSinpatientswithhematopathy.Methods Retrospective analysesandcomparisonsofclinicaldataandCTimageswereconductedbetweenGroupA (12patientswithALSafterallo-HSCT) andGroupB (26patientswithnon-transplant-relatedALS).A M annG W hitney U testwasperformedtoevaluatethemeasurementdata, andthe χ 2testor Fisher exacttestwasconductedtoexaminetheenumerationdata.Differencethresholdsof P＜0.05from bothsides weretakentobethedeterminantforstatisticalsignificance.Results TheincidenceratesofALSinpatientswithhematopathyafter anallo-HSCTwerefoundtobesignificantlyhigherthanthoseinpatientsonwhomsuchtransplantshadnotbeenperformed(1.84%. vs.0.06%),P＜0.001.SymptomsofdyspneaweremuchmorefrequentlyobservedingroupAcomparedtogroupB (7/12vs1/26), P＜0.01;whereasthedifferencesforthesymptomsofchesttightness,chestpain,andpharyngalgia werenotadequateintermsofstatistical significance,P＞0.05.IngroupA,theoccurrencesofALSsecondarytolongonsetnon-infectionpulmonarycomplications(LONIPC) associatedwithchronicgraft-versus-hostdisease(cGVHD)werefoundin8/12patients,whereastheoccurrencesin15/26patients weresecondarytopulmonaryinfectioningroupB,P＜0.01.Therewerenostatisticallysignificantdifferencesinage,gender,BMI, backgroundblooddisease,basictreatmentcounts,CTtype,treatmentmethodsandCTdisappearancetimelengthbetweenthetwo groups,P＞0.05.Conclusion Thereweredifferencesintheincidencerates,basiclungdiseasesandclinicalsymptomsbetweenallo-HSCT inducedandnon-transplantinducedALSinpatientssufferingfromhematopathy.Hematopathy-associatedALSwascommoninyoung adultswithlankypostures,patientswithleukemiaasback-grounddisease,patientswithahistoryofchemotherapyandpatientswith pulmonarydiseases.Thecommonsymptomsofpatients with hematopathy-associated ALS were chesttightness and chest pain,andpatients’overallprognosisweregood,meanwhileCT manifestationsweremainlycharacterizedbymixedpulmonary interstitialemphysema(PIE)+pneumomediastinum (PM)andsimplepneumothorax (PT).
