The ISHLT chronic lung allograft dysfunction consensus criteria are applicable to pulmonary chronic graft-versus-host disease.

ABSTRACT: Pulmonary chronic graft-versus-host disease (PcGVHD) is a devastating complication of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HCT). The 2014 National Institutes of Health cGVHD consensus criteria (NIH criteria) only captures bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS). In this study, we adapted the 2019 International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation (ISHLT) criteria of chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) to define novel phenotypes of PcGVHD and compared the performance of this criteria with the NIH criteria to identify patients with high-risk PcGVHD. We reviewed consecutive patients in a cGVHD natural history protocol (#NCT00092235) and adapted the 2019 CLAD criteria (the adapted criteria) to define PcGVHD as post-HCT forced expiratory volume at 1 second < 80% predicted
