ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Most studies addressing the impact of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (SCT) on pulmonary function test (PFT), and the various factors affecting that impact have been performed on the allogenic type. Few have addressed PFT changes in autologous SCT. This study describes PFT changes seen in autologous SCT recipients and addresses the various factors impacting these changes. PATIENTS ANDMETHODS:
We reviewed the medical records of 223 consecutive adult autologous SCT recipients. We collected pre-transplant and post-transplant data, as well as PFT data and long-term mortality.RESULTS:
A total of 123 patients with lymphoma receiving the BEAM (carmustine, etoposide, aracytin, and melphalan) conditioning regimen had a significant 5% drop in mean forced vital capacity and total lung capacity but no significant change in forced expiratory volume in one second/forced vital capacity ratio nor in diffusion lung capacity of carbon monoxide adjusted to volume. Fifteen percent of the patients with lymphoma had a clinically significant drop of 15% in their lung volume parameters. The patients with multiple myeloma receiving the melphalan conditioning regimen had no significant change in any of the PFT parameters. Smoking, baseline PFT parameters, and radiation did not affect lung function or mortality.CONCLUSIONS:
Autologous SCT impact on lung function depends on the disease and conditioning regimen. It leads to a drop in lung volumes but no obstruction or decrease in diffusion in patients with lymphoma receiving the BEAM regimen. Autologous SCT did not affect lung functions in patients with multiple myeloma, and these patients may not need screening PFTs.Palavras-chave
