Abstract

Objective: To explore the incidence and clinical characteristics of engraftment syndrome (ES) after syngeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (syn-HSCT) in patients with hematological diseases. Methods: The clinical data of 21 patients who received syn-HSCT at People's Hospital of Peking University from January 1994 to May 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. Results: Seven (33.3% ) of 21 patients developed ES. The onset of ES symptoms occurred at a median of 8 (range: 5-13) days after HSCT, and the diagnosis of ES occurred at a median of 10 (range: 7-14) days after HSCT. Steroids were administered immediately after the diagnosis of ES, the median time of symptom continuance was 2 (range: 1-5) days, and all patients showed complete resolution of ES symptoms. In the multivariate analysis, patients with acute myeloid leukemia and faster neutrophil reconstitution were the risk factors for ES (HR=15.298, 95% CI 1.486-157.501, P=0.022, and HR=17.459, 95% CI 1.776-171.687, P=0.014) . Meanwhile, there was no significant difference in the overall survival and disease-free survival between patients with ES and those without ES. Conclusion: A high incidence of ES was observed in syn-HSCT recipients. Moreover, the prognosis of ES was excellent.

目的: 探究血液病患者同基因造血干细胞移植(syn-HSCT)后植入综合征(ES)的发生率及其临床特征。 方法: 纳入1994年1月至2018年5月在北京大学人民医院接受syn-HSCT的21例患者,对其临床资料进行回顾性分析。 结果: ①21例患者中男13例,女8例,中位年龄24(4~46)岁。重型再生障碍性贫血2例,骨髓增生异常综合征1例,急性髓系白血病8例,急性淋巴细胞白血病6例,慢性髓性白血病4例。移植后中位随访时间为817(24~5 602)d。②21例syn-HSCT患者中7例(33.3%)发生ES。首次出现ES相关症状的中位时间为移植后8(5~13)d,诊断ES的中位时间为移植后10(7~14)d。所有ES患者均以糖皮质激素治疗并获得完全缓解,中位症状持续时间为2(1~5)d。③多因素分析显示,原发病为急性髓系白血病(HR=15.298,95%CI 1.486~157.501,P=0.022)和中性粒细胞植入时间<12 d(HR=17.459,95%CI 1.776~171.687,P=0.014)是ES发生的独立危险因素。ES组与未发生ES组移植后总生存率与无病生存率差异无统计学意义。 结论: 血液病患者syn-HSCT后具有较高的ES发生率,但预后较好。.
