Risk factors for the development of acute graft-versus-host disease. results of a retrospective study
Abstract
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT) is the only radical therapy for a number of hemablastoses and hematopoietic depressions. The probability of finding a related fully compatible donor is no more than 25 %. Hematopoietic stem cell donor registries increase the chances of finding an unrelated donor. Taking into account the increase in alloHSCT due to unrelated fully and partially compatible donors, there is a need to identify additional risk factors for the development of post-transplant complications, such as acute graftversus-host disease (aGVHD) in order to select an adequate immunosuppression regimen after alloHSCT.This article presents the results of a retrospective analysis of risk factors for the development of aGVHD based on the study of clinical and demographic indicators of recipients, as well as laboratory and demographic characteristics of donors and cellular characteristics of the graft.
