Hypo-Albuminemia At Day+90 After Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation For Lymphoid Malignancies Independently Predicts For Inferior Overall Survival And Higher Non-Relapse Mortality

Introduction Pretransplant patient and donor characteristics can predict outcomes after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT), but the utility of post-transplant characteristics to predict outcomes after HCT remains unknown. Our group previously noted that hypoalbuminemia ( Methods We identified pts with lymphoid malignancies who underwent allo-HCT at Moffitt Cancer Center from 2/1/2005 to 3/22/2013. Patient, donor and transplant characteristics from before and day+90 after HCT were retrospectively reviewed. OS was calculated by Kaplan-Meier estimates. NRM was determined by competing risk analysis. Multivariable models were developed for both endpoints. Patient9s age, Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplantation Research (CIBMTR) risk category and acute graft versus host disease (aGVHD) grade were forced into the multivariate model along with significant covariates. Results 271 pts met the inclusion criteria (65% male, 35% female) with median age of 50 years. HCT indications were chronic lymphocytic leukemia (14%), Hodgkin9s lymphoma (7%), non-Hodgkin9s lymphoma (44%) and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (35%). CIBMTR disease risk categories were low (30%), intermediate (55%), or high (15%). Stem cell source was mainly peripheral blood (92%). Most common conditioning regimens were fludarabine + busulfan (69%) and pentostatin + busulfan (12%). 25 pts (9.2%) died prior to day+ 90 and were excluded from outcomes analyses. For the 249 evaluable pts, median OS was 78.4 months (95% CI: 32.1, NR). The 2-year and 5-year OS were 59% and 54% respectively. The 2-year and 5-year cumulative incidence of NRM were 19% and 21% respectively. On univariate analysis, transfusion of any blood product prior to day +90 (HR 1.82, CI 1.23-2.70, p=0.0028), prednisone dose of ≥20mg/day at day +90 (HR 2.18, CI 1.43-3.33, p=0.0003), and serum albumin(SA) of Similarly, univariate analysis showed that transfusion of any blood product prior to day+90 (HR 1.82, CI 1.04-3.18, p=0.03), SA of 3-3.5g/dl (HR 2.04, CI 1.14-3.65, p= 0.02) and prednisone dose of ≥20mg/day (HR 3.07, CI 1.76-5.37, p A prior or current diagnosis of aGVHD did not predict for NRM or OS in the multivariable models consistent with results on the myeloid malignancy study. Patient age, disease risk, comorbidity index, CD34 cell dose and GVHD prophylaxis type did not significantly predict for OS or NRM ( Table 1 ). Conclusion Our study supports the adverse prognostic value of day +90 hypoalbuminemia ( Disclosures No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.
