Abstract

Stem cell transplantation is a clinical approach used to treat certain types of cancers, such as hematologic malignancies. Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) occurs in 30 to 70% of cases and often diminishes the quality of life of transplant patients. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of vaginal complications of GVHD following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. This study employed an analytical cross-sectional design. All patients referred to Shariati Hospital in Tehran between 2019 and 2020 who underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation were considered for inclusion in this study if they met the inclusion criteria. Inclusion criteria encompassed non- not sexually active women aged 18 to 70 who received stem cell transplantation more than 100 days prior. Exclusion criteria comprised patients who experienced GVHD during the first 100 days post-transplantation. Additionally, individuals over 75 and patients with metastatic cancer were excluded. A total of 55 patients were recruited, with ages averaging 40±9.9 years for recipients and 38.5±12.8 years for donors. Notably, 63.3% and 58.2% of patients exhibited oral and ocular symptoms, respectively. Regarding genital involvement, 49.1% experienced vaginal symptoms, while 25.5% had vulvar involvement. Among the 27 patients with vaginal involvement, 2 (7.4%) were categorized as mild, 17 (63%) as moderate, and 8 (29.6%) as severe. Univariate analysis identified reduced vaginal discharge (OR=6.56), vaginal tightness (OR=6.23), pelvic pain (OR=5.50), and vaginal involvement (OR=3.81) as significant predictors of other organ symptoms. Moreover, vaginal involvement (OR=3.68) emerged as the sole significant predictor of the co-occurrence of oral, ocular, and other organ symptoms. In the multivariate analysis, reduced vaginal discharge (OR=8.24) and vaginal tightness (OR=3.92) significantly predicted other organ symptoms (P=.009). Reduced vaginal discharge and vaginal tightness remained significant predictors of other organ symptoms.
造血干细胞移植后移植物抗宿主病的阴道并发症:横断面研究
干细胞移植是一种用于治疗某些类型癌症(如血液系统恶性肿瘤)的临床方法。移植物抗宿主疾病(GVHD)发生率为30%至70%,通常会降低移植患者的生活质量。本研究旨在确定造血干细胞移植后GVHD阴道并发症的发病率。 本研究采用横断面分析设计。2019年至2020年期间转诊至德黑兰沙里亚蒂医院接受造血干细胞移植的所有患者,如果符合纳入标准,均被考虑纳入本研究。纳入标准包括年龄在18至70岁之间、接受干细胞移植100天以上的非性活跃女性。排除标准包括在移植后100天内出现过GVHD的患者。此外,还排除了75岁以上的患者和转移性癌症患者。 共招募了55名患者,受者平均年龄为(40±9.9)岁,供者平均年龄为(38.5±12.8)岁。值得注意的是,分别有 63.3% 和 58.2% 的患者表现出口腔和眼部症状。在生殖器受累方面,49.1%的患者有阴道症状,25.5%的患者有外阴受累。在 27 例阴道受累的患者中,2 例(7.4%)被归类为轻度,17 例(63%)为中度,8 例(29.6%)为重度。单变量分析发现,阴道分泌物减少(OR=6.56)、阴道紧缩(OR=6.23)、盆腔疼痛(OR=5.50)和阴道受累(OR=3.81)是其他器官症状的重要预测因素。此外,阴道受累(OR=3.68)是同时出现口腔、眼部和其他器官症状的唯一重要预测因素。在多变量分析中,阴道分泌物减少(OR=8.24)和阴道紧缩(OR=3.92)可显著预测其他器官症状(P=.009)。 阴道分泌物减少和阴道紧缩仍然是其他器官症状的重要预测因素。
