ABSTRACT
Objective@#To investigate the risk factors of poor graft function (PGF) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) for severe aplastic anemia (SAA) .@*Methods@#Clinical data from 111 SAA patients who received allo-HSCT were analyzed retrospectively. Factors including age, gender, interval to transplantation, the level of serum ferritin before transplantation were analyzed by Cox multivariate regression analysis.@*Results@#Among the 111 patients who underwent allo-HSCT, 16 developed PGF (14.4%) . Multivariate analysis showed donor type (HR=2.656, 95%CI 1.204-5.858, P= 0.016) and the level of serum ferritin before tansplantation (HR=3.170, 95%CI 1.400-7.180, P=0.006) were significant risk factors for PGF.@*Conclusion@#Unrelated donor transplantation and the high level of serum ferritin before transplantation are risk factors for PGF.
