ABSTRACT
This study aims to perform an extensive review of the literature that evaluates various factors that affect the survival rates of patients with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in developed and developing countries. An extensive search of the literature was made in four different databases (PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science). The search was carried out in December 2022 and updated in July 2023, and the terms such as "hematopoietic stem cell transplantation," "bone marrow transplant," "mortality," "opportunistic infections," and "survival" associated with "severe combined immunodeficiency" were sought based on the MeSH terms. The language of the articles was "English," and only articles published from 2000 onwards were selected. Twenty-three articles fulfilled the inclusion criteria for review and data extraction. The data collected corroborates that early HSCT, but above all, HSCT in patients without active infections, is related to better overall survival. The universal implementation of newborn screening for SCID will be a fundamental pillar for enabling most transplants to be carried out in this "ideal scenario" at an early age and free from infection. HSCT with an HLA-identical sibling donor is also associated with better survival rates, but this is the least common scenario. For this reason, transplantation with matched unrelated donors (MUD) and mismatched related donors (mMRD/Haploidentical) appear as alternatives. The results obtained with MUD are improving and show survival rates similar to those of MSD, as well as they do not require manipulation of the graft with expensive technologies. However, they still have high rates of complications after HSCT. Transplants with mMRD/Haplo are performed just in a few large centers because of the high costs of the technology to perform CD3/CD19 depletion and TCRαß/CD19 depletion or CD34 + selection techniques in vitro. The new possibility of in vivo T cell depletion using post-transplant cyclophosphamide could also be a viable alternative for performing mMRD transplants in centers that do not have this technology, especially in developing countries.
