Abstract
Objectives
To evaluate risk factors for invasive mould infections (IMI) in adult patients with hematological malignancies and/or hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT).
Methods
Systematic review from PubMed, Embase, CENTRAL, and grey literature (01/01/2002–23/01/2025). Eligible studies were cohort or case-control studies. Selection, data extraction, and bias assessment were performed in duplicate. Adjusted measure effects were pooled using random-effects models.
Results
From 13,372 references, 45 studies were included; 17 focused on any type of IMI (n=846), 26 specifically on invasive aspergillosis (IA, n=2086) and 2 on mucormycosis (n=53). Twenty-eight studies (10 on IMI, 18 on IA) were eligible for meta-analysis. Relapsed/refractory hemopathies were significantly associated with a higher risk of IMI (HR 3.43 [95%CI 1.58–7.46]) whereas prolonged neutropenia was associated with IA (OR 4.85 [95%CI 2.15–10.97]). Specifically in the allo-HSCT population, both acute and chronic graft vs host disease (GvHD) (acute GvHD HR 3.23 [95%CI 2.20–4.74]; chronic GvHD HR 2.95 [95%CI 1.25–6.96]) were associated with IMI and CMV disease (HR 3.23 [95%CI 1.00–10.43]), and corticosteroid use (HR 4.67 [95% CI 2.79–7.82]) were associated with IA.
Conclusion
Recognizing risk factors for IMI in patients with hematological malignancy or HSCT is essential to improve prevention and management strategies.
