Allogeneic haematopoietic stem-cell transplantation for children with refractory systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis and associated lung disease: outcomes from an international, retrospective cohort study.

Background: Systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis-related lung disease (sJIA-LD) is a severe complication in patients with treatment-refractory systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA). The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of allogeneic haematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HSCT) in a cohort of children with sJIA-LD.

Methods: This international, retrospective cohort study was performed in nine hospitals across the USA and Europe in children with sJIA-LD who had received allogeneic HSCT.

Application of artificial intelligence and machine learning for risk stratification acute kidney injury among hematopoietic stem cell transplantation patients: PCRRT ICONIC AI Initiative Group Meeting Proceedings.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent, severe complication of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and is associated with an increased risk of morbidity and mortality. Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) have showcased their proficiency in predicting AKI, projecting disease progression, and accurately identifying underlying etiologies. This review examines the central aspects of AKI post-HSCT, veno-occlusive disease (VOD) in HSCT recipients, discusses present-day applications of artificial intelligence in AKI, and introduces a proposed ML framework for the early detection of AKI risk.

Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation in Immunodeficiency-Centromeric Instability-Facial Dysmorphism (ICF) Syndrome: an EBMT/ESID Inborn Errors Working Party Study.

Immunodeficiency-Centromeric instability-Facial dysmorphism (ICF) syndrome is an inborn error of immunity characterized by progressive immune dysfunction and multi-organ disease usually treated with antimicrobial prophylaxis and immunoglobulin substitution. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is the only curative treatment, but data on outcome are scarce. We provide a detailed description of disease characteristics and HSCT outcome in an international cohort of ICF syndrome patients.

Epidemiology, Risk Factors, and Clinical Outcomes of AKI in Pediatric Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant Patients.

Key Points: The cumulative incidence of AKI diagnosis post–hematopoietic stem cell transplantation was 12.9%. Calcineurin inhibitor use was associated with the highest cumulative incidence, 21.
