Pulmonary complications post allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplant in children.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Haematopoietic stem cell transplant (HCT) is a cellular therapy that, whilst curative for a child's underlying disease, carries significant risk of mortality, including because of pulmonary complications. The aims of this study were to describe the burden of pulmonary complications post-HCT in a cohort of Australian children and identify risk factors for the development of these complications.

Methods

Patients were identified from the HCT databases at two paediatric transplant centres in Australia. Medical records were reviewed, and demographics, HCT characteristics and pulmonary complications documented. Relative risk ratio was used to identify risk factors for developing pulmonary complications prior to first transplant episode, and survival analysis performed t
