Abstract
Pre-engraftment syndrome (PES) is a unique complication of cord blood transplantation (CBT) whose risk factors and impact on transplant outcomes remain controversial. Using a nationwide database in Japan, we analyzed a total of 3734 patients who underwent single-unit CBT. PES occurred in 18.3% of patients, and risk factors for PES included a higher hematopoietic cell transplantation-specific comorbidity index, first transplantation, myeloablative conditioning (MAC), lower total nucleated cell (TNC) dose, and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis regimens excluding tacrolimus with methotrexate. Patients who developed PES had significantly higher incidences of grade II-IV acute GVHD (53.1% vs. 31.3%, p < 0.001) and chronic GVHD (27.2% vs. 21.7%, p = 0.002) compared to those without PES. Landmark analysis with multivariable adjustment revealed that PES was independently associated with increased non-relapse mortality (NRM, hazard ratio [HR] 1.46; 95% CI 1.22-1.75; p < 0.001), reduced relapse incidence (HR 0.78; 95% CI 0.63-0.96; p = 0.020), and a trend toward inferior overall survival (OS, HR 1.13; 95% CI 0.98-1.30; p = 0.088). Moreover, patients who experienced both PES and acute GVHD had the highest 2-year NRM (31.7%; 95% CI 26.0%-37.6%) and the lowest 2-year OS (55.9%; 95% CI 50.0%-62.4%), compared with those who experienced either PES (NRM 20.7%; OS 65.0%) or acute GVHD (NRM 19.5%; OS 62.8%) (p < 0.001), highlighting the combined effects of these complications. This study, the largest to date on PES, demonstrates its clinical significance as an early complication with lasting effects on transplant outcomes.
移植前综合征(PES)是脐带血移植(CBT)中一种独特的并发症,其危险因素及其对移植结果的影响仍存在争议。使用日本全国数据库,我们分析了总共3734名接受单单位CBT治疗的患者。PES发生在18.3%的患者中,PES的危险因素包括较高的造血细胞移植特异性合并症指数、首次移植、清髓调节(MAC)、较低的总有核细胞(TNC)剂量,以及不包括他克莫司和甲氨蝶呤的移植物抗宿主病(GVHD)预防方案。与没有PES的患者相比,发生PES的患者II-IV级急性GVHD(53.1%比31.3%,p < 0.001)和慢性GVHD(27.2%比21.7%,p = 0.002)的发生率明显更高。多变量校正的里程碑分析显示,PES与非复发死亡率增加(NRM,危险比[HR] 1.46; 95% CI 1.22-1.75; p < 0.001)、复发率降低(HR 0.78; 95% CI 0.63-0.96; p = 0.020)和总生存期下降趋势(OS, HR 1.13; 95% CI 0.98-1.30; p = 0.088)独立相关。此外,与PES (NRM 20.7%, OS 65.0%)或急性GVHD (NRM 19.5%, OS 62.8%)患者相比,同时经历PES和急性GVHD的患者2年NRM最高(31.7%,95% CI 26.0%-37.6%), 2年OS最低(55.9%,95% CI 50.0%-62.4%) (p < 0.001),突出了这些并发症的综合影响。这项迄今为止最大的关于PES的研究,证明了其作为对移植结果有持久影响的早期并发症的临床意义。
