Unknown cytomegalovirus serostatus in primary immunodeficiency disorders: A new category of transplant recipients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) serostatus of recipient (R) and donor (D) influences hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) outcome. However, it is not a reliable indicator of CMV infection in primary immunodeficiency disorder (PIDD) recipients who are unable to make adequate antigen-specific immunoglobulin (Ig) or who receive intravenous Ig (IVIg) prior to testing.

Objective

Since no data exist on PIDD with unknown CMV serostatus, we aimed to evaluate the relationship between pre-HSCT recipient and donor serostatus and incidence of CMV infection in recipients with unknown serostatus.

Methods

A retrospective analysis of all pediatric PIDD HSCTs (2007-2018) was performed at University of California San Francisco. Recipients were separated into categories based on pre-transplant serostatus: 1) seropositive (R(+)), 2) seronegative (R(-)), and 3) unknown serostatus (R(x)). Patients with pre-HSCT active CMV viremia were excluded.

Results

A total of 90 patients were included, 69% male. The overall incidence of CMV infection was 20%, but varied in R(+), R(-), and R(x) at 80%, 0%, and 14%, (P-value = .0001). Similarly, 5-year survival differed among groups, 60% R(+), 100% R(-), and 90% of R(x) (P-value = .0045). There was no difference in CMV reactivation by donor serostatus (P-value = .29), however, faster time to clearance of CMV was observed for R(x)/D(+) group (median 9.5 days (IQR 2.5-18), P-value = .024).

Conclusion

We identify a novel group of recipients, R(x), with an intermediate level of survival and CMV incidence post-HSCT, when compared to seropositive and seronegative recipients. No evidence of CMV transmission from D(+) in R(-) and R(x) was observed. We believe R(x) should be considered as a separate category in future studies to better delineate recipient risk status.

Project description:BackgroundThe cytomegalovirus (CMV) mismatch rate in deceased donor kidney transplant (DDKT) recipients in the US remains above 40%. Since CMV mismatching is common in DDKT recipients, the cumulative effects may be significant in the context of overall patient and graft survival. Our primary objective was to describe the short- and long-term risks associated with high-risk CMV donor positive/recipient negative (D+/R-) mismatching among DDKT recipients with the explicit goal of deriving a mathematical mismatching penalty.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective, secondary analysis of the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (SRTR) database using donor-matched DDKT recipient pairs (N=105,608) transplanted between 2011-2022. All-cause mortality and graft failure hazard ratios were calculated from one year to ten years post-DDKT. All-cause graft failure included death events. Survival curves were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier estimation at 10 years post-DDKT and extrapolated to 20 years to provide the average graft days lost (aGDL) and average patient days lost (aPDL) due to CMV D+/R- serostatus mismatching. We also performed an age-based stratification analysis to compare the relative risk of CMV D+ mismatching by age.ResultsAmong 31,518 CMV D+/R- recipients, at 1 year post-DDKT, the relative risk of death increased by 29% (p<0.001), and graft failure increased by 17% (p<0.001) as compared to matched CMV D+/R+ group (N=31,518). Age stratification demonstrated a significant increase in the risk associated with CMV mismatching in patients 40 years of age and greater. The aGDL per patient due to mismatching was 125 days and the aPDL per patient was 100 days.ConclusionThe risks of CMV D+/R- mismatching are seen both at 1 year post-DDKT period and accumulated throughout the lifespan of the patient, with the average CMV D+/R- recipient losing more than three months of post-DDKT survival time. CMV D+/R- mismatching poses a more significant risk and a greater health burden than previously reported, thus obviating the need for better preventive strategies including CMV serodirected organ allocation to prolong lifespans and graft survival in high-risk patients.

Project description:BackgroundImproved recognition of factors influencing graft survival has led to better short-term kidney transplant outcomes. However, efforts to prevent long-term graft decline and improve graft survival have seen more modest improvements. The adoption of electronic health records has enabled better recording and identification of donor-recipient factors through the use of modern statistical techniques. We have previously shown in a prevalent renal transplant population that episodes of rapid deterioration are associated with graft loss.MethodsEstimated glomerular filtration rates (eGFR) between 3 and 27 months after transplantation were collected from 310 kidney transplant recipients. We utilised a Bayesian approach to estimate the most likely eGFR trajectory as a smooth curve from an average of 10,000 Monte Carlo samples. The probability of having an episode of rapid deterioration (decline greater than 5 ml/min/1.73 m2 per year in any 1-month period) was calculated. Graft loss and mortality data was collected over a median follow-up period of 8 years. Factors associated with having an episode of rapid deterioration and associations with long-term graft loss were explored.ResultsIn multivariable Cox Proportional Hazard analysis, a probability greater than 0.8 of rapid deterioration was associated with long-term death-censored graft loss (Hazard ratio 2.17; 95% Confidence intervals [CI] 1.04-4.55). In separate multivariable logistic regression models, cytomegalovirus (CMV) serostatus donor positive to recipient positive (Odds ratio [OR] 3.82; 95%CI 1.63-8.97), CMV donor positive (OR 2.06; 95%CI 1.15-3.68), and CMV recipient positive (OR 2.03; 95%CI 1.14-3.60) were associated with having a greater than 0.8 probability of an episode of rapid deterioration.ConclusionsEarly episodes of rapid deterioration are associated with long-term death-censored graft loss and are associated with cytomegalovirus seropositivity. Further study is required to better manage these potentially modifiable risks factors and improve long-term graft survival.
