ABSTRACT
We have retrospectively reviewed 137 medical records of patients older than 50 years receiving an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) between January 1997 and July 2013. Median follow up was 1.3 years. Sex, age, diagnosis, disease stage, comorbidities (according to HCT-CI score), type of donor, histocompatibility, conditioning regimen and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis were evaluated. The incidence and severity of acute and chronic GVHD, overall survival (OS), disease free survival (DFS), non-relapse mortality (NRM) and relapse were investigated according those variables. Acute GVHD incidence was 41% (7.3% GIII-IV). Patients with acute myeloid leukemia had lesser aGVH GII-IV (14% vs. 35%, p < 0.01) comparing to the entire population. Extensive cGVHD incidence was 9.4%. Global OS 1-3 years was 44-20%, DFS 33-20%, relapse 35-41% and NRM 36-43% respectively. The presence of comorbidities showed a significant increase in NRM (CT-CI 0 vs. 1 vs ≥ 2 1-3 years 17-24% vs. 40-46% vs. 45-67%, p = 0.001, MA HR 2.03, CI 95% 1.02-5.29), as well as cyclosporine vs. tacrolimus (1-3 years 47-53% vs. 25-36%, p = 0.01). Tacrolimus patients had higher 1-3 years OS (49-25% vs. 31-13%, p = 0.01) and DFS (41-26% vs. 20-11%, p < 0.01). Age, type of donor and myeloablative conditioning showed no significant differences in any outcome. Allogeneic HSCT is a valid therapeutic option for older patients in Argentina. The main risk factor for a significantly increased NRM and a trend to inferior OS was the number of comorbidities. Age was not a factor for a worse result. The other factor having a significant effect in better outcome was tacrolimus administration.
RESUMEN
Se efectuó un análisis retrospectivo de 137 historias clínicas de pacientes mayores de 50 años que recibieron un trasplante alogénico de precursores hematopoyéticos (TAPH). Se evaluaron las siguientes características sexo, edad, enfermedad, estadio, comorbilidades (según el HCT-CI), donante, acondicionamiento e inmunosupresión. Se analizó la incidencia de enfermedad injerto vs. huésped aguda (aEICH) y crónica (cEICH), supervivencia global (SG), supervivencia libre de enfermedad (SLE), recaída y mortalidad libre de enfermedad (MLE). Los trasplantes fueron realizados entre 1997-2013, mediana de seguimiento 1.3 años. La incidencia de aEICH fue de 41% (7.3% GIII-IV). Los pacientes con leucemia mieloide aguda presentaron menor incidencia de EICHa GII-IV (14% vs. 34%, p < 0.01). La incidencia de EICHc extenso fue de 9.4%. La SG a 1-3 años fue 44-20%, SLE 33-20%, recaída 35-41% y la MLE 36-43%. Los pacientes con comorbilidades tuvieron un aumento significativo de la MLE (HCT-CI 0 vs. 1 vs. ≥2 1-3 años 17-24% vs. 40-46% vs. 45-67%, p = 0.001, AMV HR 2.03, IC 95% 1.02-5.29), al igual que el uso de ciclosporina vs. tacrolimus (1-3 años 47-53% vs. 25-36%, p = 0.01). Los pacientes que recibieron tacrolimus tuvieron una mayor SG (1-3 años 49-25% vs. 31-13%, p = 0.01) y SLE (1-3 años 41-26% vs. 20-11%, p < 0.01). La edad, tipo de donante y acondicionamiento no resultaron significativos para ningún evento. El TAPH es una herramienta terapéutica válida en pacientes mayores. Los factores pronósticos que inciden mayormente en el trasplante son las comorbilidades y no la edad. El otro factor que demostró un efecto significativo fue el uso de tacrolimus.
