Prediction of Coronary Heart Disease Events in Blood or Marrow Transplantation Recipients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The long-term risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) and clinical models that predict this risk remain understudied in blood or marrow transplantation (BMT) recipients.

Objectives

This study sought to examine the risk of CHD after BMT and identify the associated risk factors.

Methods

Participants included patients transplanted between 1974 and 2014 at City of Hope, University of Minnesota, or University of Alabama at Birmingham and those who survived ≥2 years after BMT. Multivariable logistic regression models assessed CHD risk in BMT survivors compared with a sibling cohort. A self-reported questionnaire and medical records provided information regarding sociodemographics, comorbidities, and therapeutic exposures, which were used to develop a CHD risk predic
