| Abstract | Whether infections before transplantation impair the survival of patients with severe aplastic anemia (SAA) remains unclear. The aim of this retrospective cohort analysis was to compare survival between patients with SAA who underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) with infection (n=66) and patients without infection (n=189) from one medical center. There were no differences in baseline characteristics, except that more patients in the infection group were diagnosed with VSAA (59.09% vs. 30.69%, P<0.001), and their grafts were more peripheral blood stem cells (89.39% vs. 76.72%, P=0.042). Besides, the percentage of patients with multi-drug resistant organisms colonization or infection in the infection group was larger (16.7% vs. 0.5%, P<0.001). The median days of engraftment were similar between the two groups; however, the 28-day engraftment rates of neutrophils and platelets were lower in the infection group. No differences were observed in terms of grades II-IV acute graft versus host disease (aGVHD) (P=0.418), grades III-IV aGVHD (P=0.075), mild to severe chronic GVHD (cGVHD) (P=0.899), and moderate to severe cGVHD (P=0.342). Patients in the infection group had more bloodstream infections before engraftment (28.8% vs. 15.3%, P=0.016), and the primary cause of death was infection instead of aGVHD in contrast to patients without infection (16.7% vs. 4.2%, P=0.002). Finally, the estimated overall survival (OS), failure-free survival (FFS), and GVHD-free, FFS at 5 years were 63% (95% CI, 51–78), 60% (95% CI, 47–74), and 55% (95% CI, 43–70) in patients with infection before transplantation versus 86% (95% CI, 81–92) (P<0.001), 82% (95% CI, 76–88) (P<0.001), and 75% (95% CI, 69–82) (P=0.003) in patients without infection before transplantation. Multivariate analysis identified haploidentical HSCT and pre-HSCT anti-infection response, defined as partial remission (PR) or stable disease (SD), as adverse factors of OS and FFS. In conclusion, our study demonstrated that patients with infection defined as PR or SD but not complete remission before allo-HSCT showed inferior survival compared to patients without infection. Therefore, more attention should be paid to prophylaxis and complete control of infectious complications before transplantation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
