    Survival after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) for severe idiopathic aplastic anemia (SAA) has improved in recent years, approaching 75% at 5 years. However, an SAA-adapted composite endpoint, graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) and relapse/rejection-free survival (GRFS), may more accurately assess patient outcomes beyond survival. We analyzed GRFS to identify risk factors and specific causes of GRFS failure. Our retrospective analysis from the Severe Aplastic Anemia Working Party of the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation included 479 patients with idiopathic SAA who underwent allo-HSCT in two conventional situations: i) upfront allo-HSCT from a matched related donor (MRD) (upfront cohort), and ii) allo-HSCT for relapsed or refractory SAA (rel/ref cohort). Relevant events for GRFS calculation included graft failure, grade 3-4 acute GvHD, extensive chronic GvHD, and death. In the upfront cohort (n=209), 5-year GRFS was 77%. Late allo-HSCT (i.e., >6 months after SAA diagnosis) was the main poor prognostic factor, specifically increasing the risk of death as the cause of GRFS failure (hazard ratio [HR]=4.08; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.41-11.83; P=0.010). In the rel/ref cohort (n=270), 5-year GRFS was 61%. Age was the main factor significantly increasing the risk of death (HR=1.04; 95% CI: 1.02-1.06; P<0.001), acute GvHD (HR=1.03; 95% CI: 1.00-1.07; P=0.041), and chronic GvHD (HR=1.04; 95% CI: 1.01-1.08; P=0.032) as the cause of GRFS failure. GRFS after upfront MRD allo-HSCT was very good, notably with early allo-HSCT, confirming that younger patients with an MRD should be transplanted immediately. GRFS was worse in cases of salvage allo-HSCT, most notably in older patients, questioning the utility of allo-HSCT earlier in the disease course.

    BackgroundSickle cell disease (SCD) is associated with chronic hemolysis and painful episodes. Pregnancy accelerates sickle cell complications, including prepartum and postpartum vasoocclusive crisis, pulmonary complications, and preeclampsia or eclampsia. Fetal complications include preterm birth and its associated risks, intrauterine growth restriction, and a high rate of perinatal mortality. The purpose of this study was to evaluate pregnancy outcomes in patients with SCD who underwent planned preventive red blood cell exchange (RBCX). Study Design and MethodsWe retrospectively evaluated the complications of SCD in 37 pregnant patients. Patients with SCD who had undergone prophylactic RBCX were compared with a control group who had not undergone RBCX during pregnancy. ResultsForty-three exchange procedures were performed in 24 patients. The control group comprised 13 patients with a mean age of 27.43.3 years who had not undergone RBCX during pregnancy. Four of the five patients who developed a vasoocclusive crisis died. There was a significant difference in maternal mortality between the study and control groups (p=0.011). There was also a significant difference in the incidence of vasoocclusive crisis between the study and control groups. One fetal death occurred in the 20th gestational week in a patient in the control group, although there were no postpartum complications in either the babies or the mothers in the control group. ConclusionThis study has demonstrated that prophylactic RBCX during pregnancy is a feasible and safe procedure for prevention of complications. Given the decrease in the risks of transfusion, RBCX warrants further study.
