Abstract
Background: Adenovirus infection (AdVi) causes significant morbidity and mortality in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HCT) recipients.
Methods: This retrospective study of 131 patients (2020-2024) compared systematic monitoring in high-risk patients versus symptom-based testing in standard-risk patients.
Results: The 1-year incidence of AdV DNAemia was 19.8%, with AdV disease at 5.3%, being higher in the routine monitoring cohort (26%) than in the symptom-based cohort (11%, p = 0.031). Neither infection nor monitoring strategy impacted outcomes. The machine learning model identified predictive factors for early AdV DNAemia: age (50-65 years), diagnosis of acute leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome, transplant from an HLA-matched unrelated or haploidentical donor, and non-myeloablative conditioning. Cost-effectiveness analysis showed that risk-based testing was optimal (€149 per additional detected case), while universal monitoring was excessively costly (€1006 per additional detected case).
Conclusion: In conclusion, although AdVi was common, routine monitoring did not improve outcomes and was financially burdensome, suggesting that a machine learning-driven risk-based testing strategy enhances cost-effectiveness while ensuring timely AdV detection and intervention.
期刊介绍:
Transplant Infectious Disease has been established as a forum for presenting the most current information on the prevention and treatment of infection complicating organ and bone marrow transplantation. The point of view of the journal is that infection and allograft rejection (or graft-versus-host disease) are closely intertwined, and that advances in one area will have immediate consequences on the other. The interaction of the transplant recipient with potential microbial invaders, the impact of immunosuppressive strategies on this interaction, and the effects of cytokines, growth factors, and chemokines liberated during the course of infections, rejection, or graft-versus-host disease are central to the interests and mission of this journal.
Transplant Infectious Disease is aimed at disseminating the latest information relevant to the infectious disease complications of transplantation to clinicians and scientists involved in bone marrow, kidney, liver, heart, lung, intestinal, and pancreatic transplantation. The infectious disease consequences and concerns regarding innovative transplant strategies, from novel immunosuppressive agents to xenotransplantation, are very much a concern of this journal. In addition, this journal feels a particular responsibility to inform primary care practitioners in the community, who increasingly are sharing the responsibility for the care of these patients, of the special considerations regarding the prevention and treatment of infection in transplant recipients. As exemplified by the international editorial board, articles are sought throughout the world that address both general issues and those of a more restricted geographic import.
