Abstract |
Acute cholecystitis (AC) is a potentially fatal complication of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT); however, only limited information is available on its clinical features, outcomes, and risk management strategies. This retrospective, nested, case-control study included 6701 patients undergoing allo-HSCT at our center from January 2004 to June 2019. In total, 72 patients (1.1%) were diagnosed with AC; among these, acute acalculous cholecystitis had a slightly higher prevalence (42 patients, 58.3%). Patients with moderate and severe AC exhibited remarkably worse overall survival (P = .001) and non-relapse mortality (P = .011) than others. Survival of haploidentical HSCT recipients with AC was comparable to that for patients with human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-identical donors. Age ≥ 18 years, antecedent stage II to IV acute graft-versus-host disease, and total parenteral nutrition were identified as potential risk factors for AC following allo-HSCT, while haploidentical transplantations were not more susceptible to AC than HLA-identical HSCT. Based on these criteria, a risk score model was developed and validated to estimate the probability of AC following allo-HSCT. The model separates all patients into low-, intermediate-, and high-risk groups and thereby provides a basis for early detection of this complication in the management of allo-HSCT.
