Abstract
Introduction: The fibrosis-4 (FIB-4) index is a noninvasive marker of liver fibrosis. The FIB-4 index predicts poor outcomes in patients with hepatic and non-hepatic diseases. However, the association of the FIB-4 index with mortality and liver-related clinical outcomes following cord blood transplantation (CBT) is unclear.
Methods: We retrospectively evaluated the impact of the pretransplant FIB-4 index on outcomes in 336 adults following single-unit unrelated CBT at our institution.
Results: In multivariate analyses, when the FIB-4 index <1.3 group was used as the reference, non-relapse mortality was significantly higher in the FIB-4 index 1.3-2.67 (hazard ratio [HR], 2.51; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.19-5.30) and FIB-4 index >2.67 (HR, 2.34; 95% CI, 1.12-4.90) groups. Overall mortality was significantly higher in the FIB-4 index >2.67 group (HR, 1.66; 95% CI, 1.00-2.73), but with only marginal significance in the FIB-4 index 1.3-2.67 group (HR, 1.59; 95% CI, 0.96-2.64). Hematopoietic recovery, acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease of the liver, and veno-occlusive disease/sinusoidal obstruction syndrome were not associated with the pretransplant FIB-4 index.
Conclusion: The pretransplant FIB-4 index is accurate and useful in predicting mortality in adult patients undergoing single-unit unrelated CBT.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
