Late Post-Operative Occurrence of Dentin Hypersensitivity in Adult Patients Following Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation-A Preliminary Report.

ABSTRACT: Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT) is one of the most commonly performed transplantation procedures nowadays. Despite the significant progress made in the treatment, alloHSCT is still associated with numerous complications also affecting the oral cavity. One of them is dentin hypersensitivity (DH)-a sharp, short-term pain that occurs when stimuli act on exposed dentin. Various authors point out that DH may result in a significantly lower quality of life, among other things by impeding the consumption of food as well as causing difficulties in daily oral hygiene. The aim of the study was a preliminary analysis of the incidence rate and severity of DH pain in adult patients during late period after alloHSCT. The impact of chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGvHD) and time after alloHCT were also considered. A total of 80 patients were examined. cGvHD was identified in 52 participants. The incidence rate and severity of DH pain was assessed on the basis of a questionnaire and a clinical examination. DH pain appeared a serious problem in late period after alloHSCT regardless of post-transplant time. DH primarily affected cGvHD patients. The prevention-treatment protocol for DH should be developed for this group.

Project description:Background : Long-term survivors of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT) are at a substantial risk of developing medical late effects. We aimed to determine the incidence of metabolic syndrome (MS), cardiovascular (CV) events, bone density loss, and fractures in a cohort of patients who underwent alloHSCT for hematologic disorders. The potential risk factors for MS, CV events, bone density loss, and fractures, as well as the sufficiency of existing monitoring measures in our institution, were also evaluated. Methods : A single-center, retrospective study was conducted. We included patients who underwent alloHSCT at the Singapore General Hospital between January 2011 and December 2016, were at least 21 years old, and had a minimum follow-up period of 6 months. Patients with MS-related data comprised the CV study population, whereas patients with bone loss-related data comprised the skeletal study population. Associations between risk factors and the development of MS or bone loss were assessed using a univariate analysis followed by multivariate logistic regression. All analyses were performed using SPSS version 23. Results : A total of 91 patients were included in the CV study population, of which 13 (14.3%) had preexisting MS, 17 (18.7%) developed MS, and 5 (5.5%) developed CV events after alloHSCT. Thirty-one patients were included in the skeletal study population, of which 2 (6.5%) had preexisting bone loss, 23 (71.0%) developed osteopenia or osteoporosis, and 2 (6.5%) had a fracture. After adjusting for preexisting MS, pretransplant abdominal obesity (p=0.002), elevated triglyceride (p<0.001), and fasting hyperglycemia (p<0.001) significantly predicted MS on multivariate analyses. Only female sex predicted the risk of bone loss after alloHSCT on multivariate analyses after adjusting for preexisting osteopenia (p=0.02). Of the 174 patients who underwent alloHSCT during the study period, 83 (47.7%) and 143 (82.2%) patients had no MS-related data and bone loss-related data, respectively. Conclusion : Long-term alloHSCT survivors are at an increased risk of MS, CV complications, and bone loss. This underscores the importance of close monitoring and timely interventions to reduce long-term morbidity and mortality.
