Analysis of Antibiotic Exposure and Development of Acute Graft-vs-Host Disease Following Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation.
JAMA network open(2023)
摘要
Importance:Certain antibiotic exposures have been associated with increased rates of acute graft-vs-host disease (aGVHD) after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT). Since antibiotic exposure can both affect and be affected by infections, analyzing time-dependent exposure in the presence of multiple potential confounders, including prior antibiotic exposures, poses specific analytical challenges, necessitating both a large sample size and unique approaches.
Objective:To identify antibiotics and antibiotic exposure timeframes associated with subsequent aGVHD.
Design, Setting, and Participants:This cohort study assessed allo-HCT at a single center from 2010 to 2021. Participants included all patients aged at least 18 years who underwent their first T-replete allo-HCT, with at least 6 months of follow-up. Data were analyzed from August 1 to December 15, 2022.
Exposures:Antibiotics between 7 days before and 30 days after transplant.
Main Outcomes and Measures:The primary outcome was grade II to IV aGVHD. The secondary outcome was grade III to IV aGVHD. Data were analyzed using 3 orthogonal methods: conventional Cox proportional hazard regression, marginal structural models, and machine learning.
Results:A total of 2023 patients (median [range] age, 55 [18-78] years; 1153 [57%] male) were eligible. Weeks 1 and 2 after HCT were the highest-risk intervals, with multiple antibiotic exposures associated with higher rates of subsequent aGVHD. In particular, exposure to carbapenems during weeks 1 and 2 after allo-HCT was consistently associated with increased risk of aGVHD (minimum hazard ratio [HR] among models, 2.75; 95% CI, 1.77-4.28), as was week 1 after allo-HCT exposure to combinations of penicillins with a β-lactamase inhibitor (minimum HR among models, 6.55; 95% CI, 2.35-18.20).
Conclusions and Relevance:In this cohort study of allo-HCT recipients, antibiotic choices and schedules in the early course of transplantation were associated with aGVHD rates. These findings should be considered in antibiotic stewardship programs.
