Abstract

Objective: Acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) is one of the complications of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHSCT). This study aims to describe the incidence and prognostic factors of aGVHD in adult patients receiving matched sibling donor AHSCT.

Methods: Between 2015 and 2018, a retrospective cohort study was carried out with patients undergoing AHSCT from matched sibling donor at a medical center in the city of Bogotá, Colombia.

Results: The incidence of aGVHD was 59.79 % (n=58). In the univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis, the female sex of the donor was a prognostic factor (p=0.04 and p=0.004, respectively). Likewise, myeloablative conditioning (HR=2.43, p=0.0230), prophylaxis other than cyclophosphamide (HR=2.48, p=0.0290), and donor age (HR=1.02, p=0.0200) were evidenced as independent predictors of aGVHD. Regarding relapse-free survival after one year, the difference between patients with aGVHD and without aGVHD was 90.51% and 63.94%, respectively (p=0.0014). Similarly, it was found that patients with aGVHD GI-II had an overall survival of 85.71%, while patients with GVHD GIII-IV had a lower rate of 63.64% (ꭓ2=0.0633).

Conclusions: The incidence of aGVHD in our study is similar to those found in previous studies. The development of aGVHD decreased the risk of relapse and impacted the one-year progression-free survival, but overall survival improvement was limited to patients with aGVHD GI-II.
