Post-Transplant and In-Hospital Risk Factors for ARDS After Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

ARDS is a serious complication of hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). Pre-transplant risk factors for developing ARDS after HSCT have been recently identified. The objective of this study was to better understand post-transplant risk factors for developing ARDS after HSCT.

Methods

This was a nested case-control study. ARDS cases were matched to hospitalized non-ARDS controls by age, type of transplantation (allogeneic vs autologous), and time from transplantation. In a conditional logistic regression model, any potential risk factors were adjusted a priori for risk factors known to be associated with ARDS development.

Results

One hundred and seventy ARDS cases were matched 1:1 to non-ARDS hospitalized controls. Pre-admission, cases were more likely t
