Article Synopsis
- - Post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PT-Cy) is becoming the standard treatment to prevent graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in patients who undergo allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (alloHCT), but it can cause endothelial damage.
- - The study investigates whether the endothelial activation and stress index (EASIX) score can predict non-relapse mortality (NRM) in patients receiving PT-Cy, alongside the hematopoietic cell transplantation-specific comorbidity index (HCT-CI) and other survival factors.
- - Findings from analyzing 199 patients reveal that a high EASIX score significantly correlates with increased NRM (34.5% vs. 12
We carried out the first matched retrospective cohort study aimed at studying the safety and efficacy of extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) for bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). Medical records of 1325 consecutive adult patients who underwent HCT between 2005 and 2015 were reviewed. Seventy-four patients (median age, 51 years) with a diagnosis of BOS were included in the study.
