Prior studies have shown that racial disparities affect MM patients in various ways, which may affect patients' outcomes. In this study, we aimed to investigate racial differences in hospitalization outcomes for PCL using Nationwide Inpatient Sample data. Overall, hospitalization rates for PCL tended to decrease over the past decade. Among hospitalized patients with a primary diagnosis of PCL, there was no statistically significant association between race/ethnicity and hospitalization rates, between NH-White patients and NH-Black patients (OR 1.94; 95%CI 0.3-3.54, p 0.95), and Hispanic patients (OR 0.47; 95% CI 0.05-4.23, p 0.5). Additionally, there was no significant association between race/ethnicity and inpatient mortality. The overall lower incidence of PCL, more significant disease burden, and poor prognosis across all groups may contribute to our findings. With increasing evidence that PCL is cytogenetically distinct from MM, more investigation into biological and sociodemographic factors that affect healthcare utilization and treatment outcomes should be carried out.</p>","PeriodicalId":93942,"journal":{"name":"Clinical hematology international","volume":"5 4","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/f2/20/chi_2023_5_4_87755.PMC10515655.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41168866","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hemopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) results in transient monocyte depletion, but the factors that regulate recovery of monocyte populations are not fully understood. In this study, we investigated whether the composition of the gastrointestinal microbiota is associated with the recovery of monocyte homeostasis after HCT. Methods We performed a single-center, prospective, pilot study of 18 recipients of either autologous or allogeneic HCT. Serial blood and stool samples were collected from each patient during their HCT hospitalization. Analysis of the gut microbiota was done using 16S rRNA gene sequencing and flow cytometric analysis was used to characterize the phenotypic composition of monocyte populations. Results Dynamic fluctuations in monocyte reconstitution occurred after HCT and large differences were observed in monocyte frequency among patients over time. Recovery of absolute monocyte counts and monocyte subsets showed significant variability across the heterogeneous transplant types and conditioning intensities; no relationship to the microbiota composition was observed in this small cohort. Conclusion A relationship between the microbiota composition and monocyte homeostasis could not be firmly established in this pilot study.","PeriodicalId":93942,"journal":{"name":"Clinical hematology international","volume":"4 1","pages":"156 - 164"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73184002","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
