Bone remodeling in survivors of pediatric hematopoietic stem cell transplantation: Impact of heavy resistance training. Pediatr Blood Cancer 2024:e31159. [PMID: 38953152 DOI: 10.1002/pbc.31159] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/02/2024] [Revised: 05/23/2024] [Accepted: 06/09/2024] [Indexed: 07/03/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Early-onset osteoporosis is a frequent late effect after pediatric hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). It remains unknown if physical training can improve bone formation in these patients, as the transplantation procedure may cause sustained dysregulation of the bone-forming osteoblast progenitor cells. OBJECTIVE We aimed to explore the effect of resistance training on bone remodeling in long-term survivors of pediatric HSCT. PROCEDURE In this prospective, controlled intervention study, we included seven HSCT survivors and 15 age- and sex-matched healthy controls. The participants completed a 12-week heavy load, lower extremity resistance training intervention with three weekly sessions. We measured fasting serum levels of the bone formation marker "N-terminal propeptide of type I procollagen" (P1NP), and the bone resorption marker "C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen" (CTX). The hypothesis was planned before data collection began. The trial was registered at Clinicaltrials.gov before including the first participant, with trial registration no. NCT04922970. RESULTS Resistance training led to significantly increased levels of fasting P1NP in both patients (from 57.62 to 114.99 ng/mL, p = .03) and controls (from 66.02 to 104.62 ng/mL, p < .001). No significant changes in fasting CTX levels were observed. CONCLUSIONS Despite previous high-dose cytotoxic therapy, long-term survivors of pediatric HSCT respond to resistance training with improvement of bone formation, comparable to that of healthy controls. This suggests that resistance training might be a promising non-pharmacological approach to prevent the early decline in bone mass, and should be considered as part of a follow-up program to counteract long-term sequela after pediatric HSCT.

Abstract
As hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) and cellular therapy expand to new indications and international access improves, the volume of HCT performed annually continues to rise. Parallel improvements in HCT techniques and supportive care entails more patients surviving long-term, creating further emphasis on survivorship needs. Survivors are at risk for developing late complications secondary to pre-, peri- and post-transplant exposures and other underlying risk-factors. Guidelines for screening and preventive practices for HCT survivors were originally published in 2006 and updated in 2012. To review contemporary literature and update the recommendations while considering the changing practice of HCT and cellular therapy, an international group of experts was again convened. This review provides updated pediatric and adult survivorship guidelines for HCT and cellular therapy. The contributory role of chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) to the development of late effects is discussed but cGVHD management is not covered in detail. These guidelines emphasize special needs of patients with distinct underlying HCT indications or comorbidities (e.g., hemoglobinopathies, older adults) but do not replace more detailed group, disease, or condition specific guidelines. Although these recommendations should be applicable to the vast majority of HCT recipients, resource constraints may limit their implementation in some settings.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the impact of hypogonadism on bone mineral density (BMD) in children and adolescents with chronic diseases to determine the relationship between sex hormones and BMD. This retrospective study included 672 children and adolescents with chronic diseases such as hemato-oncologic, rheumatoid, gastrointestinal, and endocrinologic diseases. The relationship between the sex- and Tanner-stage-matched Z-scores for sex hormones and the sex- and age-matched lumbar spine BMD (LSBMD) Z-scores was evaluated. Adjustments were made for confounders such as underlying diseases, age at diagnosis, and age- and sex-matched body mass index Z-scores. Patients had a mean LSBMD Z-score of -0.55 ± 1.31. In the multivariate regression analysis, male testosterone showed a positive association with the LSBMD Z-score (p < 0.001), whereas female estradiol, luteinizing hormone, and follicular-stimulating hormone showed no significant association with the LSBMD Z-scores. In the male group, the testosterone level was associated with LSBMD Z-scores > -1.0 (p < 0.001), > -2.0 (p < 0.001), and > -3.0 (p = 0.002), while the estradiol level was associated with LSBMD Z-scores > -2.0 (p = 0.001) and > -3.0 (p = 0.002) in the female group. In conclusion, sex hormones are associated with BMD in children and adolescents with chronic diseases. Therefore, various measures may be necessary to predict future skeletal problems and improve bone health in these patients.

Abstract
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a therapeutic option for various potentially life-threatening malignant and non-malignant diseases in children, such as malignancies, immunodeficiency syndromes, severe aplastic anemia, and inherited metabolic disorders. During transplantation, many factors can affect the nutritional status of the children, including radiotherapy, chemotherapy, gastrointestinal disorders, graft-versus-host disease, and medications. Malnutrition has been associated with decreased overall survival and increased complications in children undergoing HSCT, making nutritional support a crucial component of their management. However, currently, there is a lack of guidelines or consensus on nutritional support for children undergoing HSCT in China. Therefore, this review summarizes the progress in nutritional support for children undergoing HSCT, aiming to provide clinical guidance.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to describe the impact of allogeneic/haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation on nutritional status and intake in a group of children aged 2 to 18 years. METHODS In an observational study, data were collected prospectively. Patients were prescribed individual nutritional support by hospital routines. Anthropometrics were measured pre-transplant at hospital admission and weekly from the day of transplant (day 0) until day +28. z scores for weight, height, and BMI were calculated using Norwegian growth references to assess nutritional status. Pre-transplant diet was assessed on the day of hospitalization. Nutrient provision from enteral nutrition (EN = oral and tube) and parenteral nutrition (PN) was assessed by daily records from day +1 until day +28, or previous discharge, and compared with recommendations (RI) from the Nordic Nutrition Recommendations and ESPGHAN guidelines. Total energy intake was presented as the percentage (%) of basal metabolic rate (BMR) calculated by the Schofield equation. Macro- and micronutrient provisions were presented as medians (interquartile range) and the % of RI. RESULTS Twenty-eight patients, mean age 10.3 years (range 3.5-16.6), were included. Two-thirds (n = 18) had malignant diseases. At admission, mean weight Z-score was -0.3, height z scores -0.7, and BMI Z-score 0.1. Eighteen percent (n = 5) were stunted and 25% (n = 7) had overweight. At admission, 25% (n = 7) had established tube feeding, and 7% (n = 2) also had PN. No significant changes in weight z scores were detected during the studied weeks ( P = 0.454). The median daily energy provision was 115% (110-123) of BMR and proteins 1.5 (1.3-1.8) g/kg. EN was provided during a median of 93% of the studied days and provided 21% of the energy. PN was given on a median of 96% of the studied days and provided 79% of energy. RI for vitamins, magnesium, and zinc was met. Provision of copper, iodine, selenium, calcium, and phosphate was below RI. CONCLUSIONS Combined EN and PN providing 115% of BMR and 1.5 g/kg protein ensured stable weight by day +28 and covered RI, except for trace elements and minerals.

Ultra-High Dose Vitamin D in Pediatric Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation: A Nonrandomized Controlled Trial. Transplant Cell Ther 2021; 27:1001.e1-1001.e9. [PMID: 34500127 DOI: 10.1016/j.jtct.2021.08.030] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2021] [Revised: 08/26/2021] [Accepted: 08/31/2021] [Indexed: 12/25/2022]
Abstract
Vitamin D is essential for bone health and has immunomodulatory properties. Most pediatric patients are vitamin D insufficient (<30 ng/mL) before hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Standard supplementation strategies fail to achieve vitamin D sufficiency in the acute post-transplantation period, and there are scarce data to support optimal vitamin D supplementation in this patient population. This study aimed to evaluate whether a single, oral, weight-based ultra-high dose of vitamin D (Stoss dosing) was more effective than standard supplementation to achieve pre-HSCT vitamin D sufficiency and reduce the incidence of HSCT-related complications (acute graft-versus-host disease, veno-occlusive disease, and/or transplant-associated thrombotic microangiopathy) that are associated with immune-mediated endothelial damage. Secondary endpoints examined the immunomodulatory properties of vitamin D. We conducted a nonrandomized controlled clinical trial of Stoss-dosed vitamin D in pediatric patients receiving HSCT. The study prospectively enrolled 33 patients, 29 of whom successfully received Stoss-dosed vitamin D and were compared to 136 patients in a historical control. Patient characteristics were compared using Fisher's exact test or t-test. The one-sided Fisher's exact test was used for cohort comparison of the primary endpoints. Logistic regression was used to examine the association between patient-specific factors and total 25-hydroxy vitamin D (25-OHD) levels and the compiled HSCT complications. In the Stoss cohort, 97% (n = 28/29) of patients achieved pre-HSCT vitamin D sufficiency compared to 67% (n = 10/15) of patients in the historical control who were on standard supplementation at the time the total 25-OHD level was assessed (P = .013). The mean total 25-OHD level in the Stoss cohort was significantly higher than patients in the historical control who received standard supplementation (72.2 ng/mL versus 35.8 ng/mL, P < .001). Nine patients in the Stoss cohort maintained vitamin D sufficiency throughout the first 100 days after HSCT, and the remaining 19 patients maintained sufficiency for a median of 63 days (range 6-105 days) from the Stoss dose. Patients receiving Stoss-dosed vitamin D developed a lower combined incidence of HSCT-related complications than the historical control (25% [n = 7/28] versus 42% [n = 57/136], P = .055). After Stoss dosing, immunophenotyping studies found a significant decrease in subsets of CD8+ T cells and mononuclear cells (P = .040 and.013, respectively), and, in a subset of cells, larger decreases in phosphoprotein expression were seen with greater increases in total 25-OHD levels. Inflammatory cytokines did not change significantly after Stoss dosing. Stoss dosing is therefore a safe and effective approach to maintain vitamin D sufficiency in the immediate post-HSCT period and may be associated with decreased HSCT-related complications. Randomized studies are warranted to further investigate the efficacy of Stoss-dosed vitamin D to improve bone health and reduce complications in pediatric patients receiving HSCT.

Abstract
Vitamin D deficiency remains common among pediatric patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) despite both aggressive and standard of care strategies. This study examined the safety and efficacy of single high-dose oral vitamin D therapy (Stoss therapy) for treatment of vitamin D deficiency in HSCT recipients. Patients ages 1-21 years presenting for HSCT were randomized to receive either Stoss regimen plus weekly/daily supplementation or standard of care, per US Endocrine Society guidelines. Among the total 48 subjects, 22 (46%) were randomized to Stoss and 26 (54%) to control arms. Baseline 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OHD) levels were insufficient/deficient in total of 34 (71%) patients, without difference between treatment groups. The Stoss regimen was well tolerated and no toxicity was observed. At Day +30, mean 25-OHD levels were significantly higher (P = 0.04) with Stoss (42.3 ± 12 μg/l) compared to controls (35.6 ± 14.3 μg/l), and a higher proportion of Stoss patients had adequate vitamin D levels than controls (85% vs 65%). Stoss therapy is a safe and efficacious treatment option for vitamin D deficiency in children undergoing HSCT and may achieve sufficient levels more rapidly than standard of care. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as NCT03176849.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This review paper aims to report on the last 5 years of relevant research on pediatric bone health in regard to nutrition and obesity, ethnic disparities, common orthopaedic conditions, trauma, spine, and sports medicine. METHODS A search of the PubMed database was completed using the following terms: bone health, Vitamin D, pediatric, adolescent, sports medicine, fractures, spine, scoliosis, race, ethnicity, obesity, Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis, Osteogenesis Imperfecta, Duchenne's Muscular Dystrophy, neuromuscular, and cancer. Resultant papers were reviewed by study authors and determined to be of quality and relevance for description in this review. Papers from January 1, 2015 to August 31, 2020 were included. RESULTS A total of 85 papers were selected for review. General results include 7 key findings. (1) Obesity inhibits pediatric bone health with leptin playing a major role in the process. (2) Socioeconomic and demographic disparities have shown to have a direct influence on bone health. (3) Vitamin D deficiency has been linked to an increased fracture risk and severity in children. (4) Formal vitamin D monitoring can aid with patient compliance with treatment. (5) Patients with chronic medical conditions are impacted by low vitamin D and need ongoing monitoring of their bone health to decrease their fracture risk. (6) Vitamin D deficiency in pediatrics has been correlated to low back pain, spondylolysis, and adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. Osteopenic patients with AIS have an increased risk of curve progression requiring surgery. Before spine fusion, preoperative screening for vitamin D deficiency may reduce complications of fractures, insufficient tissue repair, loosening hardware, and postoperative back pain. (7) Increasing youth sports participation has resulted in increased bone health related injuries. However, improved understanding of Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport effects on bone health has recently occurred. CONCLUSIONS Increasing awareness of bone health issues in children will improve their recognition and treatment. Further research is needed on diagnosis, treatment, outcomes, and most importantly prevention of pediatric bone health diseases.

Abstract
Bone health disturbances commonly occur after hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) with loss of bone mineral density (BMD) and avascular necrosis (AVN) foremost among them. BMD loss is related to pretransplantation chemotherapy and radiation exposure and immunosuppressive therapy for graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD) and results from deficiencies in growth or gonadal hormones, disturbances in calcium and vitamin D homeostasis, as well as osteoblast and osteoclast dysfunction. Although the pathophysiology of AVN remains unclear, high-dose glucocorticoid exposure is the most frequent association. Various societal treatment guidelines for osteoporosis exist, but the focus is mainly on menopausal-associated osteoporosis. HCT survivors comprise a distinct population with unique comorbidities, making general approaches to bone health management inappropriate in some cases. To address a core set of 16 frequently asked questions (FAQs) relevant to bone health in HCT, the American Society of Transplant and Cellular Therapy Committee on Practice Guidelines convened a panel of experts in HCT, adult and pediatric endocrinology, orthopedics, and oral medicine. Owing to a lack of relevant prospective controlled clinical trials that specifically address bone health in HCT, the answers to the FAQs rely on evidence derived from retrospective HCT studies, results extrapolated from prospective studies in non-HCT settings, relevant societal guidelines, and expert panel opinion. Given the heterogenous comorbidities and needs of individual HCT recipients, answers to FAQs in this article should be considered general recommendations, with good medical practice and judgment ultimately dictating care of individual patients. Readers are referred to the Supplementary Material for answers to additional FAQs that did not make the core set.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is defined as a metabolic skeletal disease characterized by a decrease of the bone mass per unit volume, caused by a variety of reasons. Increasing evidence indicate that the host inflammatory response was correlated with the occurrence and development of osteoporosis, and it has been recognized that T lymphocytes and B lymphocytes play a critical role in pathogenesis of inflammatory bone disease. Between January 2018 and December 2018, retrospective analysis of 487 patients (exclusion of patients with recent infections and hematologic disorders whose leukocyte counts or classifications are markedly abnormal) who underwent bone mineral density (BMD) examinations in Huzhou Central Hospital. The patients were divided into normal bone density group, osteopenia group, and osteoporosis group according to the T score of BMD in the left femoral neck, respectively. Statistics of the lymphocyte ratio and the monocyte ratio in the blood routine examination results during the same period were performed so as to make a comparison of the differences among the groups. The correlation of the lymphocyte ratio and monocyte ratio with the T score of BMD in the left femoral neck was also analyzed. The difference between neutrocyte ratio lymphocyte ratio and the monocyte ratio was statistically significant in both males and females among the normal bone density group, osteopenia group and osteoporosis group (P < .01 or P < .05). Inflammation plays an important role in the progression of osteoporosis. By monitoring these three indicators in blood routine examination, early intervention for osteoporosis may become possible.

Abstract
Vitamin D plays an essential role in bone health, immune tolerance, and immune modulation. Autologous and allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) recipients are at increased risk of vitamin D deficiency, which may increase risks of bone loss and fracture, graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), and relapse, and can delay hematologic and immune recovery following HCT. Growing evidence indicates that vitamin D may have a role as an immunomodulator, and supplementation during HCT may decrease the risk of GVHD, infection, relapse, and mortality. In this paper, we review the role of vitamin D and its association with HCT outcomes and discuss prevention and treatment of vitamin D deficiency after HCT in adult recipients. We review the role of monitoring of vitamin D levels pre- and post-HCT and its supplementation in appropriate patients. We also review the use of bone densitometry prior to HCT and in long-term follow-up and the treatment of osteoporosis in this high-risk population.

Abstract
Adults undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) are at risk for vitamin D deficiency. After HSCT, exposure to sunlight is restricted, and patients may experience poor nutrition and malabsorption from HSCT-related side effects. Vitamin D affects bone health and immunologic processes. The aim of this project is to establish a process for monitoring and treating vitamin D deficiency and to evaluate if therapeutic vitamin D levels are attainable posttransplant using an HSCT vitamin D replacement algorithm. A multidisciplinary group led by advanced practice providers established a workflow for monitoring and supplementing vitamin D and created an HSCT vitamin D replacement guideline. The medical records of 144 adult HSCT patients were reviewed, and the records of another 72 patients were reviewed a year later. Historical baseline data before the intervention found that 81% of patients were vitamin D deficient and 30% received supplementation. Postintervention and at 1-year follow-up, 76% and 65% of patients were vitamin D deficient before transplant and 97.1% and 100%, respectively, received supplementation for vitamin D deficiency. Post-HSCT compliance with monitoring demonstrated that approximately 91% of patients had a vitamin D level checked within 6 months of transplant. After implementation of the algorithm, there was a statistically significant difference (p < .001) between deficient vitamin D levels pretransplant (72.9%) and posttransplant (26.4%). Results demonstrate sustained compliance over a 2-year period with monitoring and supplementation of vitamin D pre- and peritransplant. Aggressive vitamin D repletion posttransplant decreased the incidence of vitamin D deficiency in HSCT patients. Further study is needed to investigate the long-term effects of vitamin D repletion on posttransplant complications.

Abstract
Background Long-term data on post-hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) osteoporosis and fracture are limited. This study evaluated the long-term risk of osteoporosis and fracture in cancer patients who underwent HSCT. Results The incidence density rate of osteoporosis was 12.5 per 1000 person-years in the HSCT group, which was significantly higher than that in the non-HSCT group (5.65 per 1000 person-years) after adjustment for associated factors and consideration of competing risk factors (adjusted subhazard ratio, 1.48; 95% confidence interval, 1.06–2.07). The incidence density rate of fracture was 4.89 per 1000 person-years in the HSCT group, and the risk of fracture was 1.40 times higher in the HSCT group than in the non-HSCT group (95% confidence interval, 0.83–2.40). The vertebra was the most common site of fracture after HSCT (68.4%). The risk of osteoporosis and fracture significantly increased in post-HSCT patients with both hematological malignancies and solid tumors. Both autologous and allogeneic HSCTs increased the risk of osteoporosis, whereas only autologous HSCT recipients had an increased risk of fracture. Materials and Methods This nationwide retrospective cohort study analyzed data from Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database. We identified an HSCT group comprising 1040 cancer patients who underwent HSCT during 2000–2008 and a non-HSCT group comprising 4160 propensity score-matched cancer patients who did not undergo HSCT. All patients were followed up until the occurrence of osteoporosis; fracture; December 31, 2011; or withdrawal from the insurance program. Conclusions HSCT recipients have an increased risk of osteoporosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pediatric patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) are frequently diagnosed with vitamin D deficiency, which may impact outcomes. OBJECTIVES To estimate the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency and examine its association with short-term survival in pediatric HSCT patients. METHODS Patients undergoing HSCT at Phoenix Children's Hospital were retrospectively identified. Routine serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D measurements were described prior to transplant and at 100 days and 1-year post-HSCT. Associations of pre-HSCT vitamin D groups (i.e., normal ≥30 ng/ml, insufficient 20-29 ng/ml, and deficient <30 ng/ml) with demographics, clinical factors, and outcomes were examined using nonparametric tests and Cox proportional hazards analyses. RESULTS Among 72 study subjects, the median vitamin D pre-HSCT was 26 ng/ml (range: 19-34 ng/ml). Levels were insufficient and deficient in 25 (35%) and 20 (28%) patients, respectively, with only two (3%) patients on supplemental therapy pre-HSCT. Despite supplemental therapy provided to 46 (74%) subjects, insufficient/deficient rates did not significantly change between pre-HSCT and 100 days post-HSCT, but mean vitamin D levels significantly increased by 1-year post-HSCT (P = 0.01).Vitamin D pre-HSCT was not associated with the development of acute or chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) or delayed engraftment. Overall 1-year survival was significantly lower for patients with deficient (65%) compared to normal (93%) pre-HSCT vitamin D (P = 0.001). CONCLUSION Suboptimal vitamin D levels are common in pediatric patients scheduled to receive HSCT and are associated with lower overall 1-year survival. Further study is warranted to delineate the mechanisms underlying the role of vitamin D in successful HSCT.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate longitudinal changes in bone mineral density (BMD) and bone mineral content (BMC) in children with cancer during the first year of treatment. Thirty pediatric cancer patients (median age 11.2 [range 3.8-17.4] yr; 21 boys, 9 girls; 19 hematologic malignancies, 11 solid tumors) and 30 healthy controls were enrolled. Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry was performed at baseline and at 1, 6, and 12 mo for each pediatric cancer patient. There were no significant differences in age, sex, body weight, height, body mass index, serum vitamin D levels, BMD, and BMC among children with hematologic malignancies, those with solid tumors, and the controls at baseline. When the medians of BMD Z-scores were compared between different time intervals, whole-body BMD Z-score significantly decreased during the first year of cancer treatment (p = 0.001) in children with hematologic malignancies, especially during the first month (p = 0.002), and between 1 and 6 mo (p = 0.006). In children with solid tumors, whole-body BMD Z-score changed significantly only between 6 and 12 mo after treatment (p = 0.043). Generalized estimation equations for the analysis of trends in the whole-body BMD Z-scores revealed that there were significant downward trends between BMD Z-scores at baseline and those at 12 mo in children with hematologic malignancies and those with solid tumors. Cancer treatment significantly affects the bone health status at least during the first year, causing a significant decrease in BMD, especially during the first 6 mo for patients with hematologic malignancies and during the last 6 mo for those with solid tumors. Better strategies for treating changes in BMD based on the underlying cancer are necessary during cancer treatment in children.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the relationship between blood neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and postmenopausal osteoporosis in Chinese women without diabetes. Methods: Two hundred and thirty three postmenopausal women without diabetes were included in this study. The clinical data of patients including age, and body mass index (BMI) were recorded. Blood samples were obtained to determine Blood urea nitrogen (BUN), Uric acid (UA), Albumin (ALB), Creatinine (CREA), Total Cholesterol(TC), Triglyceride (TG), Fasting plasma glucose (FPG), Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbAlc), 25-hydroxyitamin D (25-OHD) level. NLR was calculated using the following formulas: NLR = Neutrophil count / lymphocyte count; Bone mineral density (BMD) of the lumbar vertebrae and the femoral neck was measured. The relationship between NLR and postmenopausal osteoporosis statistical methods was analyzed. Results: Age, BMD, Albumin (ALB), Creatinine(CREA), Triglyceride (TG) and NLR level were different in the three groups (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that the age and NLR level were risk factors for postmenopausal osteoporosis. Conclusions: NLR level was strongly associated with BMD in the postmenopausal women without diabetes, suggesting that NLR could become a helpful clinical tool in the assessment of postmenopausal osteoporosis.

Abstract
Vitamin D has endocrine function as a key regulator of calcium absorption and bone homeostasis and also has intracrine function as an immunomodulator. Vitamin D deficiency before hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) has been variably associated with higher risks of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and mortality. Children are at particular risk of growth impairment and bony abnormalities in the face of prolonged deficiency. There are few longitudinal studies of vitamin D deficient children receiving HSCT, and the prevalence and consequences of vitamin D deficiency 100 days after transplant has been poorly studied. Serum samples from 134 consecutive HSCT patients prospectively enrolled into an HSCT sample repository were tested for 25-hydroxy (25 OH) vitamin D levels before starting HSCT (baseline) and at 100 days after transplantation. Ninety-four of 134 patients (70%) had a vitamin D level < 30 ng/mL before HSCT, despite supplemental therapy in 16% of subjects. Post-transplant samples were available in 129 patients who survived to day 100 post-transplant. Vitamin D deficiency persisted in 66 of 87 patients (76%) who were already deficient before HSCT. Moreover, 24 patients with normal vitamin D levels before HSCT were vitamin D deficient by day 100. Overall, 68% of patients were vitamin D deficient (<30 ng/mL) at day 100, and one third of these cases had severe vitamin D deficiency (<20 ng/mL). Low vitamin D levels before HSCT were not associated with subsequent acute or chronic GVHD, contrary to some prior reports. However, severe vitamin D deficiency (<20 ng/mL) at 100 days post-HSCT was associated with decreased overall survival after transplantation (P = .044, 1-year rate of overall survival: 70% versus 84.1%). We conclude that all pediatric transplant recipients should be screened for vitamin D deficiency before HSCT and at day 100 post-transplant and that aggressive supplementation is needed to maintain sufficient levels.
