Bone Marrow Transplant 2023; 58:1247-1253. [PMID: 37626267 PMCID: PMC10622316 DOI: 10.1038/s41409-023-02039-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/03/2023] [Revised: 06/10/2023] [Accepted: 07/10/2023] [Indexed: 08/27/2023]
Abstract
Hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) recipients are at risk for thromboembolic and bleeding complications. There is limited evidence regarding the optimal approach to managing venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis in hospitalized patients undergoing HCT. In this retrospective cohort study, we evaluated the incidence of bleeding and VTE events in hospitalized HCT patients who received VTE prophylaxis per our institution's VTE Prophylaxis Protocol (VPP), with either enoxaparin 40 mg subcutaneously daily or heparin 5 000 units subcutaneously twice daily, compared to historical controls who did not receive VTE prophylaxis. The primary outcome was a composite of major bleeding events, clinically relevant non-major bleeding (CRNMB), and minor bleeding. The secondary outcome was a composite of VTE events. A total of 614 patients were evaluated, including 278 prior to and 336 after implementation of VPP. VTE prophylaxis resulted in no difference in bleeding events (15.1% in the pre-VPP group vs. 14.6% in the post-VPP group, p = 0.86) or composite of major and CRNMB events (0.72% vs. 0.30%, p = 0.59). There was a trend toward lower incidence of VTE events in the post-VPP group which did not reach statistical significance (8.6% vs. 6.0%, p = 0.20). We conclude that VTE prophylaxis does not pose additional bleeding risk in HCT patients.

Chiu J, Lazo-Langner A. Venous thromboembolism in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation: A narrative review. Thromb Res 2023; 226:141-149.

Abstract
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a common complication of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and its treatment has significant effects on morbidity and non-relapse mortality. There is a complex interplay on balancing the risk for thrombosis and bleeding in these patients, making treatment decisions particularly challenging. Despite this, there are currently no validated risk assessment models or guidelines to aid clinical decision making on thromboprophylaxis and VTE treatment in this population of patients. Herein, we review the many risk factors for VTE in HSCT patients, categorized into patient, disease, catheter, treatment, laboratory, and transplant-related variables. This review also discusses current thromboprophylaxis and VTE management strategies in HSCT patients, with scope into the development of risk assessment models that allow for identification of high-risk subgroups who may benefit from targeted intervention.

Machine learning algorithm as a prognostic tool for venous thromboembolism in allogeneic transplant patients. Transplant Cell Ther 2023; 29:57.e1-57.e10.

Abstract
As a serious complication after allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT), venous thromboembolism (VTE) is significantly related to increased nonrelapse mortality. Therefore distinguishing patients at high risk of death who should receive specific therapeutic management is key to improving survival. This study aimed to establish a machine learning-based prognostic model for the identification of post-transplantation VTE patients who have a high risk of death. We retrospectively evaluated 256 consecutive VTE patients who underwent allo-HSCT at our center between 2008 and 2019. These patients were further randomly divided into (1) a derivation (80%) cohort of 205 patients and (2) a test (20%) cohort of 51 patients. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) approach was used to choose the potential predictors from the primary dataset. Eight machine learning classifiers were used to produce 8 candidate models. A 10-fold cross-validation procedure was used to internally evaluate the models and to select the best-performing model for external assessment using the test cohort. In total, 256 of 7238 patients were diagnosed with VTE after transplantation. Among them, 118 patients (46.1%) had catheter-related venous thrombosis, 107 (41.8%) had isolated deep-vein thrombosis (DVT), 20 (7.8%) had isolated pulmonary embolism (PE), and 11 (4.3%) had concomitant DVT and PE. The 2-year overall survival (OS) rate of patients with VTE was 68.8%. Using LASSO regression, 8 potential features were selected from the 54 candidate variables. The best-performing algorithm based on the 10-fold cross-validation runs was a logistic regression classifier. Therefore a prognostic model named BRIDGE was then established to predict the 2-year OS rate. The areas under the curves of the BRIDGE model were 0.883, 0.871, and 0.858 for the training, validation, and test cohorts, respectively. The Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test showed a high agreement between the predicted and observed outcomes. Decision curve analysis indicated that VTE patients could benefit from the clinical application of the prognostic model. A BRIDGE risk score calculator for predicting the study result is available online (47.94.162.105:8080/bridge/). We established the BRIDGE model to precisely predict the risk for all-cause death in VTE patients after allo-HSCT. Identifying VTE patients who have a high risk of death can help physicians treat these patients in advance, which will improve patient survival.

Abstract
Inflammatory disease is often associated with an increased incidence of venous thromboembolism in affected patients, although in most instances, the mechanistic basis for this increased thrombogenicity remains poorly understood. Acute infection, as exemplified by sepsis, malaria and most recently, COVID-19, drives 'immunothrombosis', where the immune defence response to capture and neutralise invading pathogens causes concurrent activation of deleterious prothrombotic cellular and biological responses. Moreover, dysregulated innate and adaptive immune responses in patients with chronic inflammatory conditions, such as inflammatory bowel disease, allergies, and neurodegenerative disorders, are now recognised to occur in parallel with activation of coagulation. In this review, we describe the detailed cellular and biochemical mechanisms that cause inflammation-driven haemostatic dysregulation, including aberrant contact pathway activation, increased tissue factor activity and release, innate immune cell activation and programmed cell death, and T cell-mediated changes in thrombus resolution. In addition, we consider how lifestyle changes increasingly associated with modern life, such as circadian rhythm disruption, chronic stress and old age, are increasingly implicated in unbalancing haemostasis. Finally, we describe the emergence of potential therapies with broad-ranging immunothrombotic functions, and how drug development in this area is challenged by our nascent understanding of the key molecular and cellular parameters that control the shared nodes of proinflammatory and procoagulant pathways. Despite the increasing recognition and understanding of the prothrombotic nature of inflammatory disease, significant challenges remain in effectively managing affected patients, and new therapeutic approaches to curtail the key pathogenic steps in immune response-driven thrombosis are urgently required.

Abstract
In patients undergoing hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT), venous thromboembolism (VTE) remains a serious complication that lacks validated risk assessment models (RAMs) to guide thromboprophylaxis. To address this dilemma, we performed a temporal and external validation study of the recently derived HIGH-2-LOW RAM. We selected adult patients undergoing allogeneic HCT from Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center (FHCRC) and MD Anderson Cancer Center (MDACC). Patients who died, received anticoagulation, or did not engraft platelets by day 30 were excluded. Primary outcomes were defined as overall VTE and pulmonary embolism ± lower-extremity deep venous thromboembolism (PE/LE-DVT) by day 180. Covariates were weighted according to the original model, except that grade 2-4 GVHD was substituted for grade 3-4. Discrimination and calibration were assessed. A total of 765 patients from FHCRC and 954 patients from MDACC were included. Incident VTE by day 180 was 5.1% at FHCRC and 6.8% at MDACC. The HIGH-2-LOW score had a c-statistic of 0.67 (0.59-0.75) for VTE and 0.75 (0.64-0.81) for PE/LE-DVT at FHCRC and 0.62 (0.55-0.70) for VTE and 0.70 (0.56-0.83) for PE/LE-DVT at MDACC. Twenty-five percent and 23% of patients were classified as high risk (2+ points) in the two cohorts, respectively. High versus low-risk was associated with odds ratio (OR) of 2.80 (1.46-5.38) for VTE and 4.21 (1.82-9.77) for PE/LE-DVT at FHCRC and OR of 3.54 (2.12-5.91) for VTE and 6.82 (2.30-20.16) for PE-LE-DVT at MDACC. The HIGH-2-LOW RAM identified allogeneic HCT recipients at high risk for VTE in both validation cohorts. It can improve evidence-based decision-making for thromboprophylaxis post-transplant.

Abstract
In both cardiovascular disease and cancer, there are established sex-based differences in prevalence and outcomes. Males and females may also differ in terms of risk of cardiotoxicity following cancer therapy, including heart failure, cardiomyopathy, atherosclerosis, thromboembolism, arrhythmias, and myocarditis. Here, we describe sex-based differences in the epidemiology and pathophysiology of cardiotoxicity associated with anthracyclines, hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HCT), hormone therapy and immune therapy. Relative to males, the risk of anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity is higher in prepubertal females, lower in premenopausal females, and similar in postmenopausal females. For autologous hematopoietic cell transplant, several studies suggest an increased risk of late heart failure in female lymphoma patients, but sex-based differences have not been shown for allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant. Hormone therapies including GnRH (gonadotropin-releasing hormone) modulators, androgen receptor antagonists, selective estrogen receptor modulators, and aromatase inhibitors are associated with cardiotoxicity, including arrhythmia and venous thromboembolism. However, sex-based differences have not yet been elucidated. Evaluation of sex differences in cardiotoxicity related to immune therapy is limited, in part, due to low participation of females in relevant clinical trials. However, some studies suggest that females are at increased risk of immune checkpoint inhibitor myocarditis, although this has not been consistently demonstrated. For each of the aforementioned cancer therapies, we consider sex-based differences according to cardiotoxicity management. We identify knowledge gaps to guide future mechanistic and prospective clinical studies. Furthering our understanding of sex-based differences in cancer therapy cardiotoxicity can advance the development of targeted preventive and therapeutic cardioprotective strategies.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: Cancer associated thrombosis (CAT) is a common complication of neoplasms. Multiple myeloma (MM) carries one of the highest risks of CAT, especially in the early phases of treatment. Autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) as the standard of care in transplant-eligible patients with MM carries a risk of catheter-related thrombosis (CRT). The aim of this study was identification of the risk factors of CRT in MM patients undergoing ASCT in 2009–2019. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively analyzed patients with MM undergoing ASCT. Each patient had central venous catheter (CVC) insertion before the procedure. The clinical symptoms of CRT (edema, redness, pain in the CVC insertion area) were confirmed with Doppler ultrasound examination. We examined the impacts of four groups of factors on CRT development: (1) patient-related: age, gender, Body Mass Index (BMI), obesity, Charlson comorbidity index, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation comorbidity index, renal insufficiency, and previous thrombotic history; (2) disease-related: monoclonal protein type, stage of the disease according to Salmon–Durie and International Staging System, number of prior therapy lines, and MM response before ASCT; (3) treatment-related: melphalan dose, transplant-related complications, and duration of post-ASCT neutropenia; (4) CVC-related: location, time from placement to removal. Results: Symptomatic CRT was present in 2.5% (7/276) of patients. Univariate analysis showed an increased risk of CRT in patients with a catheter-related infection (OR 2.4, 95% CI; 1.109–5.19, p = 0.026), previous thrombotic episode (OR 2.49, 95% CI; 1.15–5.39, p = 0.021), previous thrombotic episode on initial myeloma treatment (OR 2.75, 95% CI; 1.15–6.53, p = 0.022), and gastrointestinal complications of ASCT such as vomiting and diarrhea (OR 3.87, 95% CI; 1.57–9.53, p = 0.003). In multivariate analysis, noninfectious complications were associated with higher CRT incidence (OR 2.75, 95% CI; 1.10–6.19, p = 0.031). Conclusions: The incidence of symptomatic CRT in ASCT in MM was relatively low. Previous thrombotic events, especially during the induction of myeloma treatment, increased CRT risk during ASCT. Dehydration following gastrointestinal complications may predispose to higher CRT incidence.

[PMID: 34097772 DOI: 10.1002/ajh.26268] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2021] [Revised: 06/01/2021] [Accepted: 06/03/2021] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
History of venous thromboembolism (VTE) is prevalent among patients undergoing hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). Management of anticoagulation is particularly challenging as most patients will have chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia while awaiting engraftment post-HCT. We conducted a retrospective study of autologous and allogeneic HCT recipients with prior VTE from 2006-2015 to 1) compare anticoagulant strategies on short-term VTE recurrence and bleeding and 2) assess predictors for VTE recurrence beyond 30 days. Patients with VTE were allocated to two cohorts based on anticoagulant strategy at thrombocytopenia onset and underwent inverse probability weighting to assess primary outcomes of VTE recurrence and bleeding within 30 days post-HCT. Subsequently, multivariable logistic regression model was used to assess the association of 100-day VTE recurrence by the HIGH-2-LOW VTE risk assessment score and whether patients resumed anticoagulation at platelet recovery. Thirteen percent of recipients had VTE prior to HCT; of those meeting inclusion criteria, 227 continued anticoagulation and 113 temporarily discontinued it. Anticoagulant strategy was not significantly associated with decreased risk of VTE recurrence within 30 days (3% vs 4%, p = 0.61); however, risk of overall bleeding was non-significantly higher in those who continued vs discontinued anticoagulation (41% vs 31%, p = 0.08). In a subgroup of 250 allogeneic HCT patients, every one-point increase of HIGH-2-LOW score was significantly associated with VTE recurrence at 100 days (OR 1.57 [95% CI 1.10-2.23]), while anticoagulation resumption upon platelet engraftment was associated with lower recurrent risk (OR 0.48 [0.20-1.14]). Temporarily withholding anticoagulation during thrombocytopenia may optimize risk-benefit tradeoffs, though additional strategies are essential to prevent VTE recurrence after hematopoietic recovery.

High incidence of thromboembolism in patients with chronic GVHD: association with severity of GVHD and donor-recipient ABO blood group. Blood Cancer J 2021; 11:96. [PMID: 34006823 PMCID: PMC8131386 DOI: 10.1038/s41408-021-00488-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2021] [Revised: 04/20/2021] [Accepted: 04/29/2021] [Indexed: 02/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is associated with systemic inflammation and endothelial dysfunction, increasing risk for thromboembolic events (TEE). In 145 adult recipients who developed cGVHD after a matched sibling or umbilical cord blood donor HCT from 2010 to 2018, 32(22%) developed at least 1 TEE event, and 14(10%) developed 2 TEE events. The 5-year cumulative incidence of TEE was 22% (95% CI, 15–29%) with a median time from cGVHD to TEE of 234 days (range, 12–2050). Median time to the development of LE DVT or PE was 107 (range, 12–1925) compared to 450 days (range, 158–1300) for UE DVT. Cumulative incidence of TEE was 9% (95% CI, 0–20%), 17% (95% CI, 9–25%), and 38% (95% CI, 22–55%) in those with mild, moderate, and severe GVHD, respectively. Higher risk for TEE was associated with cGVHD severity (hazard ratio [HR] 4.9, [95% CI, 1.1–22.0]; p = 0.03), non-O-donor to recipient ABO match compared to O-donor to O-recipient match (HR 2.7, [95% CI, 1.0–7.5]; p = 0.053), and personal history of coronary artery disease (HR 2.4, [95% CI, 1.1–5.3]; p = 0.03). TEE was not associated with 2-year non-relapse mortality or 5-year overall survival. Patients with chronic GVHD after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation are at high risk for thromboembolic events occurring years after diagnosis. More severe chronic GVHD, non-O donor-recipient ABO compared to O-O match and personal history of coronary artery disease are associated with higher risk of thromboembolic events.

HIGH-2-LOW risk model to predict venous thromboembolism in allogeneic transplant patients after platelet engraftment. Blood Adv 2021; 5:167-175.

Abstract
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is a significant treatment-associated complication, although optimal timing of thromboprophylaxis remains uncertain when weighing concurrent risks of bleeding. We aimed to derive and internally validate a risk assessment model (RAM) using patients who underwent first allogeneic HCT from 2006 through 2015 (n = 1703). Index date was defined as the 30th day after transplant, at which point we estimated >75% of patients would have achieved platelet engraftment >50 × 109/L. Stepwise logistic regression modeling was used for model development, and internal validation was achieved by fitting a logistic regression model with 1000 bootstrapped resamples to estimate the optimism-corrected c-statistic. The final RAM, "HIGH-2-LOW," included 7 predictors obtained at 30 days after transplant: History of catheter-related deep venous thrombosis (DVT), Inpatient at day 30, Graft-versus-host disease grade 3 to 4, History of pulmonary embolism or lower-extremity DVT, Lymphoma diagnosis, Obesity with body mass index ≥35 kg/m2, and White blood cell count ≥11 × 109/L. Approximately 16% of patients were stratified as high risk, with incident VTE rate of 10.3% at 100 days compared with 1.5% for those at low risk. VTE odds ratios at 100 days were 5.87 (95% confidence interval [CI], 2.98-11.57) and 2.71 (95% CI, 1.38-5.35) in the high- and intermediate-risk vs low-risk groups, respectively. HIGH-2-LOW model serves as a novel and potentially clinically meaningful tool to identify high-risk allogeneic HCT patients who may benefit from early thromboprophylaxis after platelet engraftment.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Obstetrician-gynecologists frequently are consulted either before the initiation of cancer treatment to request menstrual suppression or during an episode of severe heavy bleeding to stop bleeding emergently. Adolescents presenting emergently with severe uterine bleeding usually require only medical management; surgical management rarely is required. Surgical management should be considered for patients who are not clinically stable, or for those whose conditions are not suitable for medical management or have failed to respond appropriately to medical management. When used continuously, combined hormonal contraceptives are effective for producing amenorrhea, although complete amenorrhea cannot be guaranteed. The risk of venous thromboembolism in patients with cancer is compounded by multiple factors, including presence of metastatic or fast-growing, biologically aggressive cancers; hematologic cancers; treatment-related factors such as surgery or central venous catheters; and the number and type of comorbid conditions. Although as a group, patients undergoing cancer treatment are at elevated risk of venous thromboembolism compared with the general population, this risk may be extremely elevated for certain patients and existing guidance on risk stratification should be consulted. The decision to use estrogen in patients with cancer should be tailored to the individual patient after collaborative consideration of the risk-benefit ratio with the patient and the health care team; the patient should be closely monitored for known adverse effects such as liver toxicity and venous thromboembolism.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is regarded as a curative therapy for majority of hematologic malignancies and some non-malignant hematologic diseases. Venous thromboembolism (VTE) has become increasingly recognized as a severe complication following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). OBJECTIVES To show the characteristics of VTE after haploidentical donor hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HID-HSCT) and make comparisons with matched related donor HSCT (MRD-HSCT). PATIENTS/METHODS A retrospective nested case-control study design was used, cases with VTE and matched controls were selected, with 3534 patients underwent HID-HSCT and 1289 underwent MRD-HSCT. RESULTS During follow-up, 114 patients with VTE were identified. The incidence of VTE in HID-HSCT group was similar to that of MRD-HSCT group (2.4% versus 2.3%, P = 0.92). In HID-HSCT group, VTE occurred at a median time of 92.5 days, which was earlier than MRD-HSCT group (243.5 days). For HID-HSCT, advanced disease status, cardiovascular risk factors, acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD), and relapse were the independent risk factors for VTE. For MRD-HSCT, cardiovascular risk factors, aGVHD, and relapse were associated with VTE. Overall survival (OS) of patients following HID-HSCT and MRD-HSCT were similar, but the OS in patients with VTE was significantly lower than patients without VTE. CONCLUSIONS There was no statistical difference in the incidence of VTE after HID-HSCT compared with MRD-HSCT. The development of VTE adversely impacted the OS after allo-HSCT.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a life-threatening clinical problem, and computed tomographic imaging is the standard for diagnosis. Clinical decision support rules based on PE risk-scoring models have been developed to compute pretest probability but are underused and tend to underperform in practice, leading to persistent overuse of CT imaging for PE. OBJECTIVE To develop a machine learning model to generate a patient-specific risk score for PE by analyzing longitudinal clinical data as clinical decision support for patients referred for CT imaging for PE. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS In this diagnostic study, the proposed workflow for the machine learning model, the Pulmonary Embolism Result Forecast Model (PERFORM), transforms raw electronic medical record (EMR) data into temporal feature vectors and develops a decision analytical model targeted toward adult patients referred for CT imaging for PE. The model was tested on holdout patient EMR data from 2 large, academic medical practices. A total of 3397 annotated CT imaging examinations for PE from 3214 unique patients seen at Stanford University hospitals and clinics were used for training and validation. The models were externally validated on 240 unique patients seen at Duke University Medical Center. The comparison with clinical scoring systems was done on randomly selected 100 outpatient samples from Stanford University hospitals and clinics and 101 outpatient samples from Duke University Medical Center. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Prediction performance of diagnosing acute PE was evaluated using ElasticNet, artificial neural networks, and other machine learning approaches on holdout data sets from both institutions, and performance of models was measured by area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC). RESULTS Of the 3214 patients included in the study, 1704 (53.0%) were women from Stanford University hospitals and clinics; mean (SD) age was 60.53 (19.43) years. The 240 patients from Duke University Medical Center used for validation included 132 women (55.0%); mean (SD) age was 70.2 (14.2) years. In the samples for clinical scoring system comparisons, the 100 outpatients from Stanford University hospitals and clinics included 67 women (67.0%); mean (SD) age was 57.74 (19.87) years, and the 101 patients from Duke University Medical Center included 59 women (58.4%); mean (SD) age was 73.06 (15.3) years. The best-performing model achieved an AUROC performance of predicting a positive PE study of 0.90 (95% CI, 0.87-0.91) on intrainstitutional holdout data with an AUROC of 0.71 (95% CI, 0.69-0.72) on an external data set from Duke University Medical Center; superior AUROC performance and cross-institutional generalization of the model of 0.81 (95% CI, 0.77-0.87) and 0.81 (95% CI, 0.73-0.82), respectively, were noted on holdout outpatient populations from both intrainstitutional and extrainstitutional data. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE The machine learning model, PERFORM, may consider multitudes of applicable patient-specific risk factors and dependencies to arrive at a PE risk prediction that generalizes to new population distributions. This approach might be used as an automated clinical decision-support tool for patients referred for CT PE imaging to improve CT use.

Venous Thromboembolism in Autologous Blood or Marrow Transplantation Survivors: A Report from the Blood or Marrow Transplant Survivor Study. Biol Blood Marrow Transplant 2019; 25:2261-2266.

Abstract
Hemostatic complications are commonly encountered in blood or marrow transplantation (BMT) recipients, increasing their morbidity and mortality and are well described in the immediate post-transplantation period. The risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in long-term survivors of autologous BMT has not been studied previously. Patients who underwent autologous BMT between January 1, 1974, and December 31, 2010 for a hematologic malignancy, lived 2 years or more after transplantation, and were age ≥18 years were surveyed for long-term outcomes. The median duration of follow-up was 9.8 years (interquartile range, 6.4 to 14.3 years). We analyzed the risk of VTE in 820 autologous BMT recipients who survived for ≥2 years, compared with 644 siblings. BMT survivors were at a 2.6-fold higher risk of VTE compared with siblings (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.6 to 4.4; P =.0004), after adjusting for sociodemographic characteristics. Conditional on surviving for ≥2 years after BMT, the mean cumulative incidence of VTE was 3.9 ± .8% at 5 years and 6.1 ± 1.1% at 10 years. A diagnosis of plasma cell disorder (hazard ratio [HR], 2.37; 95% CI, 1.3 to 4.2; P = .004) and annual household income ≤$50,000 (HR, 2.02; 95% CI, 1.2 to 3.6; P = .015) were associated with increased VTE risk. Our data indicate that autologous BMT survivors are at elevated risk for developing late-occurring VTE. The development of risk prediction models to identify autologous BMT survivors at greatest risk for VTE and thromboprophylaxis may help decrease the morbidity and mortality associated with VTE.

Catheter-Related Thrombosis in Patients with Lymphoma or Myeloma Undergoing Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation. Biol Blood Marrow Transplant 2018; 24:e20-e25.

Abstract
Catheter-related thrombosis (CRT) occurs frequently during autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (AHCT) and data regarding the incidence, risk factors, and management are understudied. We evaluated 789 consecutive patients with lymphoma and myeloma that underwent AHCT over 10 years (2006 to 2016) and detected the incidence of CRT was 6.3%; only 32% of CRT were symptomatic. The majority occurred within 100 days of AHCT (86%) and median time from tunneled line placement to CRT was 44 days (range, 11 to 89 days). Outcomes of these 50 patients with CRT were compared with age- and disease-matched AHCT control subjects to identify risk factors. History of prior venous thromboembolism (VTE) (20.9% versus 7.0%, P = .02) was the only significant risk factor. Treatment with low-molecular-weight heparin was tolerated with rare minor bleeding (4%), although CRT recurrence or extension (10%) and subsequent VTE (12%) were common. CRT did not impact on nonrelapse mortality or risk of relapse; 2-year progression-free survival was 55% in CRT cases versus 54% in control subjects (P = .42). CRT appears to be common in patients with lymphoma and myeloma undergoing AHCT and significantly contributes to morbidity. Further study to determine mitigating strategies and modify risk factors for CRT is warranted.

Venous thromboembolism incidence in hematologic malignancies. Blood Rev 2018; 33:24-32.

Abstract
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with cancer. Although some very well validated scores delineate the risk of VTE by cancer subtype and other risk factors, hematologic malignancies are underrepresented in these models. This subgroup represents a unique entity that undergoes therapy that can be thrombogenic. The overall risk of VTE in patients with leukemia depends on the use of L-asparaginase treatment, older age, comorbidities and central venous catheters. Patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia are at particularly high risk of VTE but also have an increased risk of bleeding. Patients with aggressive lymphomas have a high incidence of VTE, roughly 10%. Patients with multiple myeloma at highest risk of VTE are those receiving immunomodulatory agents such as thalidomide or lenalidomide. Allogeneic stem cell transplantation carries a risk of thrombosis, particularly in patients developing graft versus host disease. This review summarizes the incidence of VTE in leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma and stem cell transplantation and provides practical guidance for preventing and managing VTE in patients with hematologic malignancies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Overall incidence of hemostatic complications in pediatric recipients of Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant (HSCT) is scarcely studied. This retrospective review explored the incidence and underlying risk factors of bleeding and thrombotic complications in children. PROCEDURE Clinical characteristics, hemorrhagic events (HE), thrombotic events (TE) and follow up data were abstracted from medical records on patients aged <21 years undergoing HSCT during January 2000-June 2015. RESULTS From start of conditioning until last follow up, 238 pediatric patients were reviewed during this study. There were 16 symptomatic thrombotic complications in 15 patients, along with 13 major bleeding events. Incidence of HE or TE was higher in allogeneic HSCT compared to autologous HSCT (p = 0.02). Severe thrombocytopenia could not be identified as a major contributor to bleeding. All patients with HE had platelets between 20,000-50,000 × 109/L, except one patient, who had platelets <20,000 × 109/L. All patients with hemorrhagic cystitis (n = 7) had received cyclophosphamide (Cy). For patients with sinusoidal obstruction syndrome, conditioning included either busulfan (Bu)/Cy (n = 5), Cy with total body irradiation (n = 4), or thiotepa (n = 2). Among allogeneic HSCT recipients, 60% of HE and 92% with TE had underlying myeloid neoplasms. Graft versus Host disease contributed to both types of complications (p = 0.07), although not reaching statistical significance. CONCLUSIONS Allogeneic pediatric HSCT patients had higher overall risk of hemorrhagic or thrombotic complications compared to autologous recipients in this study. HSCT for myeloid malignancies was a risk factor for higher complications.

Abstract
The immunosuppressive regimens required for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation predispose recipients to complications, including avascular necrosis. Cancer-related comorbidities, immunosuppression, and poor bone quality theoretically increase the risk for perioperative medical complications, infection, and implant-related complications in total joint arthroplasty. This study reviewed 20 primary total hip arthroplasties for avascular necrosis in 14 patients. Outcomes were assessed at routine clinical visits and Harris hip scores were calculated. Follow-up radiographs were evaluated for component malposition, loosening, polyethylene wear, and osteolysis. Average follow-up was 44.5 months for all patients. Postoperative clinical follow-up revealed good to excellent outcomes, with significant improvement in functional outcome scores. There were no periprosthetic infections or revisions for aseptic loosening. There was 1 dislocation on postoperative day 40, which was treated successfully with a closed reduction. Two patients with a prior history of venous thromboembolism developed a pulmonary embolus on postoperative day 13 and 77, respectively. Four patients died several months to years after arthroplasty of complications unrelated to the surgical procedure. Total hip arthroplasty can both be safely performed and greatly improve quality of life in recipients of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation who develop avascular necrosis. However, prolonged venous thromboembolism prophylaxis should be carefully considered in this high-risk patient population. [Orthopedics. 2018; 41(2):e257-e261.].

Abstract
SummaryThe transplantation of allogeneic or autologous haematopoietic stem cells is an established treatment for many malignant and non-malignant diseases of the bone marrow. Intensive cytoreductive regimens administered before transplantation induce prolonged and severe cytopenia of all haematopoietic lineages. Thrombocytopenia leads to an increased risk of bleeding, which may be further aggravated by consumption of plasmatic factors as a result of tumour lysis or after antibody administration. At the same time, patients after transplantation are also at increased risk of thrombotic complications. Endothelial damage induced by radio-and chemotherapy, indwelling catheters, prolonged immobilization and a high incidence of systemic infection all contribute to the frequent occurrence of thromboembolic events in this population.This review discusses the incidence and risk factors for haemorrhagic and thrombotic complications after stem cell transplantation. Special emphasis is given to complications occurring specifically in the context of transplantation such as diffuse alveolar haemorrhage, haemorrhagic cystitis, veno-occlusive disease, and transplant associated microangiopathy.

Abstract
Hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) is associated with a proinflammatory, procoagulant environment that places recipients at increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). Although the incidence of VTE in adult HCT recipients has been extensively studied, similar data for children are lacking. We conducted a multicenter retrospective study to analyze the prevalence of VTE and associated risk factors in a large cohort of patients who underwent HCT at tertiary care US children's hospitals. The Pediatric Health Information System database, a large administrative database that contains clinical and resource utilization data from 49 freestanding children's hospitals in the United States, was used to extract data. International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification codes were used to identify HCT recipients, VTE events, post-HCT complications, and associated risk factors up to 1 year post-transplant. Data on patients who received HCT from January 2010 through September 2014 were collected. A total of 4158 unique patients mean ± standard deviation age at transplant admit, 8.8 ± 6.5 years; range, birth to 33.4 years) were identified. After HCT 290 subjects (6.9%) developed VTE. VTE prevalence was greater in patients aged ≥ 13 versus <13 years (8.54% versus 6.33%; P = .01) and in recipients of allogeneic versus autologous grafts (7.7% versus 5%; P ≤ .01). VTE was associated with prolonged median duration of hospitalization (81 versus 54 days; P ≤.01) and increased 1-year mortality (13.9% versus 5.9%; P ≤ .01). Infections and presence of any graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) were significantly associated with VTE occurrence in recipients of allogenic grafts. Prevalence of VTE in patients who underwent HCT at pediatric tertiary care hospitals is about 7%. Age ≥ 13 years and allogeneic grafts were significant pre-HCT VTE risk factors, with GVHD and infections seen more frequently in patients with VTE.

Abstract
Management of venous thromboembolism (VTE) remains challenging in patients with hematologic malignancy who undergo hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) due to prolonged thrombocytopenia. This study aims to (1) determine the incidence of VTE recurrence and bleeding during autologous HCT, (2) assess the impact of continuing vs temporarily withholding anticoagulation during thrombocytopenia, and (3) explore the impact of platelet threshold among other variables on the risk of bleeding. We performed this observational study in adults with lymphoma and myeloma who underwent autologous HCT between 2006 and 2015. We selected patients with index VTE prior to HCT and assigned them to different cohorts based on antithrombotic management at the onset of thrombocytopenia. Primary outcomes included VTE recurrence and major bleeding by 30 days after HCT. Secondary outcomes included platelet and red blood cell transfusions, time to engraftment, and overall survival. Of the 1631 patients who underwent autologous HCT, 204 patients (12.5%) had preceding index VTE events, and among them, 132 patients continued and 72 patients temporarily withheld anticoagulation during thrombocytopenia. There were no significant differences in VTE recurrence (1.5% vs 1.4%) or major bleeding (3.8% vs 4.2%) between 2 groups by 30 days. The number of platelet transfusions was significantly higher in the first group. Baseline elevated bilirubin, creatinine, and prothrombin time were independently associated with increased risk in major bleeding, whereas neither platelet threshold nor average platelet count was predictive. Our findings suggest that for many patients undergoing autologous HCT, temporarily withholding anticoagulation during thrombocytopenia may offer the best risk-benefit tradeoff among available options.

Abstract
Although venous thromboembolism rates and risk factors are well described in patients with cancer, there are limited data on the incidence, risk factors and outcomes of thrombosis after allogeneic stem cell transplantation, a curative therapy for patients with hematologic malignancies. We aimed to determine the incidence and risks associated with venous thrombosis in allogeneic stem cell transplants. We studied 2276 recipients of first transplant between 2002–2013 at our institution with a median follow up of 50 months (range 4–146). Using pharmacy records and subsequent chart reviews, 190 patients who received systemic anticoagulation for venous thrombosis were identified. The 1-and 2-year cumulative incidence of all venous thrombotic events were 5.5% (95% confidence interval (CI) 4.6–6.5%) and 7.1% (95% CI 6.1–8.2%), respectively. There was no difference in age, sex, body mass index, diagnosis, disease risk index, conditioning intensity, donor type or graft source between transplant recipients with and without subsequent thrombosis. In multivariable models, both acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease were independently associated with thrombosis occurrence (Hazard ratio (HR)=2.05, 95% CI 1.52–2.76; HR=1.71, 95% CI 1.19–2.46, respectively). Upper extremity thrombosis differed from all other thromboses in terms of timing, risk factors and clinical impact, and was not associated with non-relapse mortality (HR=1.15; 95% CI 0.69–1.90), unlike all other thromboses which did increase non-relapse mortality (HR=1.71; 95% CI 1.17–2.49). In subgroup analysis evaluating conventional thrombosis predictors by comparing patients with and without thrombosis, a history of prior venous thrombosis was the only significant predictor. Venous thromboembolism has a high incidence after allogeneic stem cell transplant and is associated with graft-versus-host disease and non-relapse mortality.

Abstract
The optimal management of hematologic malignancy-associated venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients with moderate-to-severe thrombocytopenia is unclear. This is a retrospective study of 128 adult patients with hematologic malignancies who were diagnosed with VTE. The outcome of patients with significant thrombocytopenia (≤50,000/µL) was compared with those without. Forty-seven patients (36.7%) had a platelet count ≤50,000/µL during a period of time of perceived need for new or continued anticoagulation. The median nadir platelet count in those with significant thrombocytopenia was 10,000/µL (range 2,000-45,000/µL) versus 165,000/µL (50,000-429,000/µL) in those without (P < 0.001). The median duration of significant thrombocytopenia in the first group was 10 days (1-35 days). Therapy during the period of significant thrombocytopenia included prophylactic-dose low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) (47%), therapeutic-dose LMWH or heparin (30%), warfarin (2%), inferior vena cava filter (2%), and observation (17%). Patients without thrombocytopenia were managed with the standard of care therapy. At a median follow-up of more than 2 years, the risk of clinically significant bleeding (11% vs 6%, P = 0.22) including major bleeding (6% vs 2%) and clot progression or recurrence (21% vs 22%, P = 1.00) were similar in patients with or without significant thrombocytopenia. In a multivariate analysis, the risk of recurrence/progression (hazard ratio, HR 0.59, 95% CI 0.21-1.66, P = 0.31) and hemorrhage rate (HR 0.29, 95% CI 0.05-1.56, P = 0.15) did not differ based on the presence of significant thrombocytopenia. Within the limits of this retrospective study, cautious use of prophylactic-dose LMWH may be safe in thrombocytopenic patients with hematologic malignancy-associated VTE. Am. J.

Abstract
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is relatively common among patients with haematological malignancies. Management is challenging because many of these patients are also thrombocytopenic and at increased risk of bleeding. Current recommendations regarding the treatment of VTE in thrombocytopenic patients with haematological malignancies are limited as there only few studies evaluating the safety and efficacy of anticoagulation in this population of patient. A literature review on the safety of antithrombotic therapy for treatment or prophylaxis of VTE in patients with haematological malignancies was undertaken. This includes a report on 5 patients with haematological malignancies at our institute who received enoxaparin for treatment of VTE while thrombocytopenic. Unlike previous case series which showed that the use of LMWH (low molecular weight heparin) is safe in this group of patients, major bleeding occurred in 2 patients, and was fatal in one case. More studies are required to evaluate the risk factors and safety of anticoagulation in these patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) recipients are at an increased risk of thrombotic complications, most of which are catheter-related and present a substantial challenge. The incidence of CRT varies considerably depending on clinical factors. However, the underlying pathogenesis and risk factors remain unclear. METHODS We performed a retrospective nested case-control study in patients following allo-HSCT. Thrombotic episodes were diagnosed based on the clinical suspicion of the physician (pain, swelling, etc.) with subsequent CVC or PICC thrombosis confirmed via duplex ultrasound. Cases with CRT and controls were matched for time of HSCT, age at HSCT, donor source and type of insertion (CVCs or PICC). RESULTS During the 8-year period, catheters were placed in 2896 patients, with a total of 40 patients (1.38%) developed CRT, among which 11 were associated with CVCs and 29 were associated with PICCs. The median duration from catheter insertion to thrombosis was 97days. Despite reports of an association between thrombosis and infection, central line-associated bloodstream infection was comparable between groups. No significant differences were noted in terms of primary disease, donor type, conditioning regimen or catheter type between the cases and controls. A multivariate regression analysis identified high-dose corticosteroids as independent risk factors for the development of CRT. CRT seems to negatively affect prognosis in allo-HSCT patients. CONCLUSION In conclusion, we demonstrate that the use of high-dose corticosteroids is correlated with the onset of CRT. However, the efficacy and safety of thromboprophylaxis in this population require further investigation.

Abstract
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a common complication of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is another complication of HSCT that may modify the risk of VTE. Our objective was to explore the incidence of VTE (deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism) following HSCT and to evaluate its association with GVHD. A comprehensive search of Medline In-Process & Other Non-Indexed Citations, MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and Scopus was conducted to search for both retrospective and prospective HSCT studies which had reported VTE. Random-effects meta-analysis was used to pool incidence rates. We included 17 studies reporting on allogeneic- and 10 on autologous-HSCT; enrolling 6693 patients; of which 5 were randomized. The overall incidence of VTE after HSCT was 5 % (4-7 %). Incidence in allogeneic-HSCT was 4 % (2-6 %) and in autologous-HSCT was 4 % (1-15 %). Eleven and nine studies reported data on acute and chronic GVHD, respectively. The incidence of VTE in chronic GVHD was 35 % (20-54 %), whereas in acute GVHD it was 47 % (32-62 %). Based on the results of this meta-analysis, VTE is a fairly common complication after HSCT, emphasizing the importance of assimilating guidelines for both treatment and prophylaxis in this patient population.

Abstract
There is a growing population of women who have or will undergo hematopoietic stem cell transplant for a variety of malignant and benign conditions. Gynecologists play an important role in addressing the gynecologic and reproductive health concerns for these women throughout the transplant process. As women undergo cell transplantation, they should avoid becoming pregnant and are at risk of uterine bleeding. Thus, counseling about and implementing hormonal treatments such as gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists, combined hormonal contraceptives, and progestin-only methods help to achieve therapeutic amenorrhea and can serve as contraception during the peritransplant period. In this commentary, we summarize the timing, risks, and benefits of the hormonal options just before, during, and for the year after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The incidence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) after non-myeloablative (NMA) allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT) is unknown. In addition, very few studies on the predisposing factors for DVT post SCT have been published. The incidence of DVT among patients that underwent NMA allo-SCT at our hospital was 4.1% (3 of 73) over the course of last 8 years, and to the best of our knowledge this is the first study to report the incidence of DVT following NMA allo-SCT. The present findings show that NMA allo-SCT patients may have multiple risk factors for DVT. Herein we present 3 cases of DVT following NMA allo-SCT and a literature review. CONFLICT OF INTEREST None declared.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cellular therapy after organ transplantation is emerging as an intriguing strategy to achieve dose reduction of classical immunosuppressive pharmacotherapy. Here, we introduce a new scoring system to assess treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) of adherent stem cell therapies in the clinical setting of allogeneic liver transplantation (for example, the MiSOT-I trial Eudract CT: 2009-017795-25). METHODS The score consists of three independent modalities (set of parameters) that focus on clinically relevant events early after intravenous or intraportal stem cell infusion: pulmonary toxicity, intraportal-infusional toxicity and systemic toxicity. For each modality, values between 0 (no TEAE) and 3 (severe TEAE) were defined. The score was validated retrospectively on a cohort of n=187 recipients of liver allografts not receiving investigational cell therapy between July 2004 and December 2010. These patients represent a control population for further trials. Score values were calculated for days 1, 4, and 10 after liver transplantation. RESULTS Grade 3 events were most commonly related to the pulmonary system (3.5% of study cohort on day 4). Almost no systemic-related TEAEs were observed during the study period. The relative frequency of grade 3 events never exceeded 5% over all modalities and time points. A subgroup analysis for grade 3 patients provided no descriptors associated with severe TEAEs. CONCLUSION The MiSOT-I score provides an assessment tool to score specific adverse events that may occur after adherent stem cell therapy in the clinical setting of organ transplantation and is thus a helpful tool to conduct a safety study.

Abstract
There is a bidirectional connection between tumors and thrombosis. On one hand, thromboembolic events are more frequent in cases of malignancies, on the other hand, proliferation of tumor cells, progression of the malignant process and metastasis formation are facilitated by the activation of the hemostatic system. Thromboembolic events are associated with a worse prognosis in case of patients with malignant diseases. Thromboembolism is the second most frequent cause of death in patients with malignant tumors. Mortality is twice as high in patients with thromboembolism compared to those without it. The incidence of thromboembolism shows an increasing tendency. There has been a 28% increase among hospitalized cancer patients between 1995 and 2003. One reason is that the new anti-tumor agents have more pronounced prothrombotic activity than those of traditional chemotherapeutic drugs. Assessment of the thrombotic risk of cancer patients becomes more important. Several guidelines have been published concerning the prevention and treatment of thromboembolism in patients with malignancy. The risk of thrombosis is influenced not only by the type of malignancy but there are also large individual differences. Furthermore, the risk of thrombosis changes during the disease process in the same patient. Perioperative thromboprophylaxis is a very important issue considering oncologic surgery. Thromboprophylaxis of oncologic patients has a high significance in respect of morbidity and mortality. However, thromboprophylaxis may also cause serious complications thus the correct risk assessment of cancer patients is very important.

Abstract
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation recipients have an increasing risk of both hemorrhagic and thrombotic complications. However, the competing risks of two of these life-threatening complications in these complex patients have still not been well defined. We retrospectively analyzed data from 431 allogeneic transplantation recipients to identify the incidence, risk factors and mortality due to thrombosis and bleeding. Significant clinical bleeding was more frequent than symptomatic thrombosis. The cumulative incidence of a bleeding episode was 30.2% at 14 years. The cumulative incidence of a venous or arterial thrombosis at 14 years was 11.8% and 4.1%, respectively. The analysis of competing factors for venous thrombosis revealed extensive chronic graft-versus-host disease to be the only independent prognostic risk factor. By contrast, six factors were associated with an increased risk of bleeding; advanced disease, ablative conditioning regimen, umbilical cord blood transplantation, anticoagulation, acute III-IV graft-versus-host disease, and transplant-associated microangiopathy. The development of thrombosis did not significantly affect overall survival (P=0.856). However, significant clinical bleeding was associated with inferior survival (P<0.001). In allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, significant clinical bleeding is more common than thrombotic complications and affects survival.

Abstract
Hemostatic changes and thrombotic events are frequent in patients undergoing stem cell transplantation. Arterial and venous thromboses are major causes of morbidity and mortality. Thrombotic complications can be classified into four groups including: catheter-related thrombosis, venous thromboembolic (VTE) events, sinusoidal obstructive syndrome (SOS)/veno-occlusive disease, and transplant-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (TAM). The incidence of catheter-related thrombosis is 8-20% in patients undergoing autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), and the incidence is low in syngeneic and allogeneic transplant patients. Venous duplex Doppler ultrasound, venogram, and computed tomography scan are required to visualize the venous thrombus. The treatment should be aimed at the prevention of pulmonary embolism, the avoidance of thrombus extension, and the preservation of catheter patency. Patients undergoing HSCT may have risk factors for VTE including underlying malignancy, traumatic brain injury, prolonged hospitalization, administration of conditioning regimens, and central venous catheters. Important risk factors are presence of history of VTE and graft-versus-host disease. One-year incidence of symptomatic VTE is 3.7%. SOS, also known as veno-occlusive disease, is a serious liver disease, seen in approximately 50-60% of HSCT patients. The mortality rate from the severe form of SOS is 84.3% and majority of the patients have multi-organ failure. The frequency is quite low after autologous transplantation. Risk factors for SOS include pre-existing hepatic damage, previous high-dose chemotherapy and abdominal irradiation, female gender and donor-recipient human leukocyte antigen disparity. Cyclophosphamide and busulphan are the most common agents with the highest incidence and fatal SOS. Histopathologic features of SOS include dilatation of sinusoids, necrosis of perivenular hepatocytes, and obstruction of small intrahepatic central venules by microthrombi and fibrin deposition. Signs of SOS usually occur within first 30 days after HSCT including hyperbilirubinemia, hepatomegaly, ascites, and weight gain. Symptoms of liver failure, including encephalopathy, coagulopathy, and renal failure will appear in severe form. A hepatic venous pressure gradient above 10 mmHg is highly specific for SOS. Early use of defibrotide has been shown to be effective in the treatment of high-risk SOS. TAM is a distinct, infrequent, and significant life-threatening complication of HSCT. TAM is seen in the range of 0·5-76% and was reported to be 10-25% in patients undergoing allogeneic HSCT with a mortality rate around 50%. It can also be seen after autologous HSCT and mainly affects the glomerular capillaries. There has been no standard therapy for TAM. Few case series reported good response to rituximab and high-dose corticosteroids were used with limited success. Trials with complement inhibitors such as eculizumab are currently underway.

Abstract
Allogeneic and autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantations are important therapeutic options for patients with hematologic disorders. Hemostatic complications are frequent after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation with a considerable morbidity and mortality. The incidence of bleedings and thrombosis is highest in the first few weeks after transplantation, but may also occur later. However, beyond the first year of transplantation only limited data are available. In long-term survivors the risk for premature atherosclerosis increases over time after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and it is higher than in the age-adjusted general population and in recipients of autologous transplantation.

Abstract
Patients who undergo hematopoietic progenitor cell transplant may require antithrombotic therapy for a variety of reasons--history of vascular events or developing new ones during therapy. For patients with arterial disease, use of antiplatelet therapy is based on acuity. For primary prevention of an arterial event, aspirin can be withheld at the start of transplant. On the other hand, in the face of a patient experiencing an acute myocardial infarction, aspirin should be given, no matter what the degree of thrombocytopenia is. Patients with cardiac 'hardware'-stents and mechanical valves-pose difficult issues because as higher risk patients (especially patients with recent implantation of a drug eluting stent) they require more aggressive anticoagulation, even in the face of severe thrombocytopenia. Anticoagulation with heparin is dependent on the platelet count with full dose recommended for a platelet count over 50 × 10(9)/L and prophylactic dosing with platelets in the 20-50 × 10(9)/L range. If the patient develops a distal venous thrombosis, then simple observation can be used, but more proximal thrombosis or pulmonary embolism requires consideration of anticoagulation. Central venous catheter thrombosis is best treated by line removal, as the risk of bleeding is high if the device is left in. The advent of new anticoagulants with minimal drug and food interactions may offer better choices for therapy for these difficult patients. This is also an area in which clinical trials would be helpful to clarify the treatment choices.

Abstract
The use of erythropoietic agents has been associated with an increased risk of venous thromboembolic events (VTEs), especially in patients with underlying malignancies. However, it is not known whether there is an increased risk of VTE associated with granulocyte growth factors. We reviewed 621 patients undergoing PBSC mobilization using granulocyte growth factors, alone or in combination with CY. Patients with a diagnosis of AL amyloidosis (AL: 114; 18%), multiple myeloma (MM: 278; 44%) Hodgkin lymphoma (HL: 20; 3%) or non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL: 209; 33%) were included. Symptomatic VTE occurred in six (0.97%) patients: two AL, two MM and two NHL. Of the six patients, two had pulmonary embolism, one developed deep vein thrombosis and three developed symptomatic catheter related thrombosis. Two patients with AL had heparin-induced thrombocytopenia and thrombosis. We found a low incidence of VTE among patients undergoing PBSC mobilization.

Abstract
Patients with hematologic malignancies are at high risk of thrombotic or hemorrhagic complications. The incidence of these events is greatly variable and is influenced by many factors, including the type of disease, the type of chemotherapy, and the use of a central venous device. As in solid tumors, a number of clinical risk factors have been identified and contribute to the increasing thrombotic rate in hematologic malignancies. Biologic properties of the tumor cells can influence the hypercoagulable state of patients with these malignancies by several mechanisms. Of interest, oncogenes responsible for neoplastic transformation in leukemia also may be involved in clotting activation. Epidemiologic data allow an estimate of the incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in acute leukemia, lymphomas, and multiple myeloma (MM). In this review, we focus on the epidemiology, pathogenesis, and VTE management in these three hematologic malignancies. No recommendation for routine thromboprophylaxis in these conditions, with the exception of MM, is available. Large, prospective, randomized clinical trials are needed to establish the best practice for thromboprophylaxis and treatment of VTE in these types of cancers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite venous thromboembolism (VTE) being a major cause of morbidity and mortality, there is still limited information on its prevalence and incidence in the general population. OBJECTIVE To evaluate risk factors, distribution and epidemiology of VTE in the Malmö area with 280,000 inhabitants. METHODS Patients diagnosed with VTE at Malmö University Hospital in 1998-2006 were invited to a prospective population-based study. Blood sampling and a questionnaire study could be performed in 70% of patients. Remaining 30% were excluded due to language problems, dementia, other severe disease, or unwillingness to participate. RESULTS During 1998-2006 1140 VTE patients (559 men [49%, age 62+/-16 years] and 581 women [51%, age 61+/-20 years]) were included. Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) occurred in 882 (77%), pulmonary embolism (PE) in 330 (29%), and both DVT and PE in 72 (6%). The most common acquired risk factors among VTE patients were hormone therapy (24% of female DVT patients and 19% of female PE patients), immobilisation (17% of DVT patients and 18% of PE patients), previous surgery (13% of DVT patients and 19% of PE patients), and concomitant malignant disease (12% of DVT patients and 11% of PE patients). A positive family history for VTE was obtained from 25% of DVT patients and 22% of PE patients. Yearly incidences of VTE, DVT and PE in Malmö were 66, 51, and 19/100.000, respectively. CONCLUSION Hormone therapy, immobilisation, previous surgery and concomitant malignancy were the most common acquired risk factors among VTE patients in this population-based study. The VTE-incidence was lower than in earlier epidemiological studies.
