Prognostic factors affecting the outcome after allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation for myelodysplastic syndrome
2021
Abstract
In the present study, we retrospectively analysed the results of HSCT in 47 consecutive patients with MDS diagnosed at our department between 2002 and 2019, with a focus on possible predictive factors influencing overall survival (OS), the development of relapse, infections, and the occurrence of graft versus host disease (GvHD). In a univariate analysis, the pre-transplantation value of blasts in the marrow 1000 ug/ml) nor increased C-reactive protein (CRP) (> 5 mg/l) was associated with shorter OS.
In contrast, elevated serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) (> 213 U/l) was associated with shorter OS (p = 0.04).
