Abstract
Introduction: The prognosis and management of pregnancy-associated aplastic anemia (PAA) following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) remain uncertain. This retrospective study was conducted to describe our clinical experience and to explore the efficacy and safety of allo-HSCT in patients with PAA.
Methods: A retrospective observational study was evaluated the safety and feasibility of allo-HSCT in 18 patients with PAA who were treated between January 2013 and November 2023.
Results: Median neutrophil engraftment occurred at 11.5 days (range: 6-15), and platelet engraftment occurred at 11.5 days (range: 7-28). The cumulative incidence (CuI) of both neutrophil and platelet engraftment was 100%. The CuI rates were 22.96% (95% CI, 13.68-27.32) for grade II acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) and 12.61% (95% CI, 9.32-29.28) for chronic GVHD (cGVHD). No cases of grade III-IV aGVHD, extensive cGVHD, or relapse were observed. The CuI of transplantation-related mortality was 19.87% (95% CI, 13.15-30.73). Among the 15 surviving patients, the median follow-up was 47.0 months (range: 7.6-122.2 months). The overall survival and relapse/rejection-free rates were both 80.14% (95% CI, 69.27-86.86).
Conclusion: These findings suggest that allo-HSCT is a viable and effective treatment option for PAA. The donor types included 8 matched sibling donors, 1 matched unrelated donor, 3 mismatched unrelated donors, and 6 haploidentical donors.
期刊介绍:
''Acta Haematologica'' is a well-established and internationally recognized clinically-oriented journal featuring balanced, wide-ranging coverage of current hematology research. A wealth of information on such problems as anemia, leukemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma, hereditary disorders, blood coagulation, growth factors, hematopoiesis and differentiation is contained in first-rate basic and clinical papers some of which are accompanied by editorial comments by eminent experts. These are supplemented by short state-of-the-art communications, reviews and correspondence as well as occasional special issues devoted to ‘hot topics’ in hematology. These will keep the practicing hematologist well informed of the new developments in the field.
