JOURNAL OF THE SCIENCE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE 2024; 104:3361-3370. [PMID: 38092559 DOI: 10.1002/jsfa.13221] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2023] [Revised: 12/11/2023] [Accepted: 12/12/2023] [Indexed: 01/04/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND This research aimed to identify the agroclimatic zones in Brazil, excluding Rio Grande do Sul, that are suitable for olive (Olea europaea L.) cultivation, considering both climatic and topographical factors. Olives require specific conditions: moderate winter temperatures (7-15 °C), warmer summers (25-35 °C) and sufficient water during growth and fruit maturation. They can endure some drought, making them a viable option for agricultural diversification. Using daily meteorological data from 1989 to 2023 from NASA-POWER, this study analyzed variables like air temperature (minimum and maximum) and rainfall. Key climate variables were the mean air temperature in winter (T_w), spring (T_s), summer (T_su) and autumn (T_a) and total annual precipitation (Prec). Criteria for suitability included: T_w between 5 and 20 °C, T_s between 15 and 23 °C, T_su between 15 and 30 °C, T_a between 15 and 22 °C, annual precipitation over 900 mm and altitude below 900 m. Geographic information system software and Python 3.8 were employed for data analysis and zoning. RESULTS Results indicated that only 1.92% of the analyzed area, mainly in Minas Gerais, was suitable for olive cultivation. High temperatures and low rainfall in Brazil, particularly in the North and Midwest, make 59.56% of the country unsuitable for olive farming. Additionally, 18.58% of the land, mainly in the Northeast, faces challenges due to extreme heat (T_w) and insufficient water supply. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Moss JE, Muller WJ. BK virus-associated hemorrhagic cystitis in pediatric stem cell transplantation: a case report and scoping review. Front Pediatr 2024; 11:1267678. [PMID: 38406625 PMCID: PMC10884191 DOI: 10.3389/fped.2023.1267678] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2023] [Accepted: 12/29/2023] [Indexed: 02/27/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction BK virus-associated hemorrhagic cystitis (BK-HC) is a debilitating and poorly understood complication of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (SCT). Hematuria, dysuria, and other symptoms associated with BK-HC are common in the immediate post-SCT period, making BK-HC difficult to distinguish from other conditions presenting with these symptoms. Despite published criteria for diagnosis, the degree to which these criteria are consistently applied to either clinical diagnosis or to studies informing BK-HC management is unclear. We present a case of BK-HC in a pediatric SCT recipient, and discuss the challenges associated with treatment in the absence of rigorous data to inform clinical management. Methods We reviewed all cases of BK viruria at our center in patients undergoing SCT between January 2015 and December 2019. We then performed a scoping review of publications in PubMed addressing BK-HC, specifically focusing on how BK-HC was defined. Publications using the keywords "BK polyomavirus" and "hemorrhagic cystitis" were included if they involved a clinical study of SCT recipients and a full-text article was available in English. Case reports were excluded. Analysis focused on whether BK-HC was explicitly defined and whether the definition incorporated elements of diagnostic criteria published by European Conference on Infections in Leukemia (ECIL). Results A total of 30 studies published between January 2018 and 30 June 2021 met criteria for review, including 4 clinical trials, 7 prospective observational studies, and 19 retrospective observational studies. Fifteen of these studies included pediatric patients (7 pediatric only, 8 combined adult and pediatric). Of the 30 publications, 19 included a definition of either BK-HC or BK cystitis, with only five using ECIL criteria, all of which were observational studies. Multiple interventions are described for treatment of BK-HC, including cidofovir, leflunomide, quinolones, hyperbaric oxygen, keratinocyte growth factor, and BK-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes. However, evidence to support efficacy for any of these interventions is lacking. Discussion Although BK-HC is a well-known complication of SCT, evidence to support available treatment options is limited. Well-controlled studies that incorporate clear diagnostic criteria are needed to better define the risk factors, natural history, and ideal interventions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE AND BACKGROUND BK virus-associated hemorrhagic cystitis (BKV-HC) is an intractable complication leading to higher mortality and prolonged hospitalization among allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HCT) recipients. Therefore, identifying the potential risk factors of BKV-HC after allo-HCT is crucial to improve prognosis and for early prevention. However, the risk factors for BKV-HC remain debatable. Therefore, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to identify the risk factors for BKV-HC, for early prevention of the occurrence of BKV-HC and to improve the quality of life and prognosis of allo-HCT recipients. METHODS We searched relevant studies from PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library up to February 2023. The odds ratios (ORs) and the corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of all risk factors were calculated to evaluate their effects on the occurrence of BKV-HC. RESULTS Overall, 11 studies involving 2556 allo-HCT recipients were included in this meta-analysis. All included studies were retrospective and published between 2013 and 2022. We found that male sex (OR = 1.32; 95% CI, 1.07-1.62; p = .009, I2 = 34%), haploidentical donor (OR = 1.84; 95% CI, 1.18-2.87; p = .007, I2 = 23%), myeloablative conditioning (OR = 1.76; 95% CI, 1.36-2.28; p < .0001, I2 = 45%), acute graft versus host disease (aGVHD) (OR = 2.73; 95% CI, 2.02-3.69; p < .0001, I2 = 46%), chronic graft versus host disease (cGVHD) (OR = 1.71; 95% CI, 1.12-2.60; p = .01, I2 = 0%), and cytomegalovirus (CMV) reactivation (OR = 3.13; 95% CI, 1.12-8.78; p = .03, I2 = 79%) were significantly associated with BKV-HC in the univariable analysis. CONCLUSIONS Our meta-analysis indicated that male sex, haploidentical donor, myeloablative conditioning, aGVHD, cGVHD, and CMV reactivation were potential risk factors for BKV-HC.

[PMID: 35668027 PMCID: PMC10499564 DOI: 10.1016/j.htct.2022.04.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/15/2020] [Revised: 02/04/2022] [Accepted: 04/18/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (allo-HSCT) patients are exposed to acute and chronic nephrotoxic events (drugs, hypotension, infections, and microangiopathy). The need for hemodialysis (HD) may be associated with high mortality rates. However, the risk factors and clinical impact of HD are poorly understood. AIM To analyze survival and risk factors associated with HD in allo-HSCT Patients and methods: single-center cohort study 185 (34 HD cases versus 151 controls) consecutive adult allo-HSCT patients from 2007-2019. We performed univariate statistical analysis, then logistic regression and competing risk regression were used to multivariate analysis. Survival was analyzed by Kaplan-Meier and Cox proportional-hazards models. RESULTS The one-year HD cumulative incidence was 17.6%. Univariate analysis revealed that HD was significantly associated with male gender, age (p 0.056), haploidentical donor, grade II-IV acute GVHD, polymyxin B, amikacin, cidofovir, microangiopathy, septic shock (norepinephrine use) and steroid exposure. The median days of glycopeptides exposure (teicoplanin/vancomycin) was 16 (HD) versus 10 (no HD) (p 0.088). In multivariate analysis, we found: norepinephrine (hazard ratio, HR:3.3; 95% confidence interval, 95%CI:1.2-8.9; p 0.024), cidofovir drug (HR:11.0; 95%CI:4.6- 26.0; p < 0.001), haploidentical HSCT (HR:1.94; 95%CI:0.81-4.65; p 0.14) and Age (HR:1.01; 95%CI: 0.99-1.03; p 0.18) . The HD group had higher mortality rate (HR:6.68; 95% CI: 4.1-10.9; p < 0.001). CONCLUSION HD was associated with decreased survival in allo-HSCT. Carefully use of nephrotoxic drugs and improving immune reconstitution could reduce severe infections (shock) and patients requiring cidofovir, which taken together may result in lower rates of HD, therefore improving survival.

Abstract
BACKGROUND BK virus-associated hemorrhagic cystitis (BKV-HC) is a serious complication after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). It can cause morbidity and may increase treatment-related mortality. Previous studies showed that the occurrence of BKV-HC was related to various factors. However, there are still many controversial factors. It is not clear whether BKV-HC will affect the long-term prognosis of patients. OBJECTIVE We aimed to identify risk factors for BKV-HC after allo-HSCT and evaluate the effect of BKV-HC on overall survival (OS) and progression- free survival (PFS) of patients. STUDY DESIGN We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 93 patients who underwent allo-HSCT. Univariate and multivariate analysis were used to identify risk factors for BKV-HC. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate OS and PFS. A difference was considered statistically significant if P < 0.05. RESULTS A total of 24 patients developed BKV-HC. The median occurrence time of BKV-HC was 30 (range:8-89) days after transplantation, and the median duration was 25.5 (range:6-50) days. Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that peripheral blood lymphocyte count <1 × 109/L before conditioning (OR = 4.705, P = 0.007) and haploidentical transplantation (OR = 13.161, P = 0.018) were independent risk factors for BKV-HC. The 3-year OS rate was 85.9% (95%CI:62.1%-95.2%) in the BKV-HC group and 73.1% (95%CI: 58.2%-88.0%) in the non-BKV-HC group. There was no significant difference between the two groups (P = 0.516). The 3-year PFS rate was 76.3% (95%CI: 57.9%-94.7%) in the BKV-HC group and 58.1% (95%CI: 39.5%-76.7%) in the non-BKV-HC group. There was no significant difference in the two groups (P = 0.459). The severity of BKV-HC was not related to the OS and PFS of the patients (P value was 0.816 and 0.501, respectively). CONCLUSION Haploidentical transplantation and decreased peripheral blood lymphocyte count before conditioning increased the risk of BKV-HC after allo-HSCT. The occurrence of BKV-HC after allo-HSCT and the severity of which did not affect OS and PFS of the patients.

Abstract
AbstractIn hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) recipients, BK virus-related hemorrhagic cystitis is a well-known complication. It increases the risk of death and morbidity of HSCT recipients with simultaneous increase in healthcare cost burden, as a result of prolonged hospital admissions. There are many conservative therapeutic strategies available for the treatment that are effective in treatment of milder forms of hemorrhagic cystitis. Vesical artery embolization is one of the nonsurgical bailout procedure in patient's refractory to medical therapy with added advantage of avoidance of high-risk definitive surgical procedure of cystectomy or urinary diversion in these critical immunosuppressed patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND BKV-HC is one of the most significant complications of HSCT. This retrospective study aimed to determine the frequency of BKV-HC in pediatric patients undergoing HSCT, detect the associated risk factors for the development of BKV-HC, and explore the effects of post-transplantation Cy use. METHODS Three hundred twenty-seven patients (girls: 121, boys: 206) were analyzed according to sex, conditioning regimen, transplantation type, donor relatedness, stem cell source, the presence and grade of aGVHD, CMV co-existence, and Cy use. RESULTS Multivariate analysis confirmed the prognostic importance of age (OR: 4.865), TBI use, the presence of aGVHD (OR: 2.794), CMV coinfection (OR: 2.261), and Cy use (OR: 27.353). A statistically significant difference was found between the mean BKV-HC follow-up times compared with post-transplantation Cy intake (p < .001). The BKV-HC rate increased as the number of risk factors of the patient increased. CONCLUSION BKV-HC is an essential complication of HSCT primarily associated with Cy use, the presence of aGVHD, and donor relatedness. The present study shows that the use of Cy in the post-transplantation period further increases BKV-HC risk in pediatric patients, regardless of dose.

Abstract
This study is to investigate the hemorrhagic cystitis (HC) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) without in vitro T-cell depletion. Patients receiving allo-HSCT in 2019 were enrolled. The occurrence and clinical characteristics of HC after HLA-identical HSCT and haploidentical HSCT were retrospectively analyzed. BK, JC, cytomegalovirus, and other viruses were monitored when HC occurred. Conventional HC treatment was performed. Additionally, 5 cases of severe refractory HC were treated with adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell (ADSC) besides conventional HC treatment. Totally, 54 patients with allo-HSCT were enrolled, including 12 cases with HLA-identical HSCT and 42 cases with haploidentical HSCT. Among them, 17 developed late-onset HC (LOHC). There was no early-onset HC. The median onset time was 33.5 (9-189) days, with a median duration of 19 (5-143) days. There were 8 cases of grade III HC and 2 cases of grade IV HC. The cumulative incidence of LOHC in 54 patients was 29.6%, and the cumulative incidence of LOHC in 42 patients with haploidentical HSCT was 40.5%. The 1-year expected progression-free survival (PFS) of 26 patients without HC was 86.6%, and the 1-year expected PFS of 16 HC patients was 74.5%. However, there was no statistically significant difference (P = .326). The urine BK virus of 14 patients was positive, with the lowest of 1.98 × 105 copies/mL, and the highest of 8.96 × 105 copies/mL. For the 5 patients with severe refractory HC, the lowest infusion dose of ADSC was 0.9 × 106/kg and the highest was 1.4 × 106/kg. All 5 patients were cured. The incidence of LOHC is higher after haploidentical HSCT. LOHC is positively correlated with urine BK virus. LOHC has no obvious effect on the overall PFS of patients. ADSC infusion has a good therapeutic effect on severe and prolonged LOHC.

Abstract
We conducted a single-center 5-year retrospective study on the occurrence of hemorrhagic cystitis (HC) and its effect on survival after haploid high-dose peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (haplo-PBSCT) in patients with acute leukemia. We retrospectively analyzed 153 patients with acute leukemia who were treated with non-in vitro T-cell depleted haplo-PBSCT and myeloablative conditioning regimen. All patients were followed up for more than 180 days after transplantation. HC occurrence and its effect on long-term progression free survival (PFS) were retrospectively analyzed. Totally, 64 out of 153 patients had late onset HC (LOHC). No early onset HC occurred. The median onset time was 38.5 (17-163) days after transplantation. The cumulative incidence of LOHC was 41.8%. The cumulative incidence of LOHC in patients under 27 years old (50.0%) and in ALL patients (54.1%) was significantly higher than that in patients over 27 years old (34.5%) and in AML patients (36.9%), respectively. The cumulative incidence of mild LOHC was 44.2% and that of severe LOHC was 28.6%. However, urine copies of BK virus were not related to LOHC duration. There was no significant difference in 3-year expected PFS between AML and ALL patients with and without LOHC, or between LOHC duration more than and less than 38.5 days (P>0.05). Conclusively, LOHC incidence is higher in patients under 27 years old and in ALL patients. LOHC occurrence is related to urine BK virus copy, but not blood BK virus load. LOHC duration and severity has no significant effect on PFS.

Abstract
Introduction This study is to investigate the effect of late-onset hemorrhagic cystitis (LOHC) on progression-free survival (PFS) of patients after haploidentical peripheral blood hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haplo-PBSCT). Methods This retrospective study enrolled 74 patients with hematological malignancies treated with a myeloablative conditioning regimen and haplo-PBSCT. The effect of LOHC on PFS was studied in terms of HC occurrence, grade, disease type, duration, onset time, gender, and age. Results There were 28 patients with LOHC, and no case was with early-onset HC. The cumulative incidence of LOHC was 37.8% (95% CI: 26.9–48.7%). The 2-year expected PFS of 74 patients and 34 AML patients was not significantly different between LOHC patients and patients without HC (P > 0.05). Among 27 ALL patients, the 2-year expected PFS of LOHC patients was 75%, significantly higher than patients without HC (54.2%) (P < 0.05). The 2-year expected PFSs of patients with mild LOHC and severe LOHC were 69.8 and 77.8%, respectively (P > 0.05). Similarly, the onset time, duration, age, and gender of LOHC patients did not show significant effects on PFS (P > 0.05). Conclusions After haplo-PBSCT, LOHC has a significant effect on the PFS of ALL patients. The HC grade, duration, onset time, gender, and age have no significant effect on PFS.

A cluster of BK polyomavirus-associated hemorrhagic cystitis after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Transpl Infect Dis 2021; 23:e13736. [PMID: 34546601 DOI: 10.1111/tid.13736] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2021] [Revised: 09/01/2021] [Accepted: 09/08/2021] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND BK polyomavirus (BKV) can cause hemorrhagic cystitis (HC) in immunocompromised patients after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). It remains unclear whether nosocomial BKV infections occur. During a 9-month period, an increase in BKV-associated HC (BKV-HC) cases was observed at our institution. AIM The BKV-HC cluster population was compared with populations of HSCT patients from before and after the BKV-HC cluster to evaluate whether nosocomial BKV transmission had occurred. METHODS A retrospective analysis was carried out to assess the risk of patients developing BKV-HC after HSCT. The background data of the cluster patients were compared with those of the patients who underwent HSCT before or after the cluster, and the collected BKV isolates were serotyped. RESULTS BKV-HC involving grade ≥2 hematuria occurred in six of 15 HSCT recipients during a 9-month period. The incidence of BKV-HC was significantly higher in this period than in the other periods (p = 0.0014). There were no significant differences in the patients' background data between the cluster and non-cluster periods, including in terms of risk factors for BKV-HC. Serotype analyses of BKV revealed that the BKV detected in the urine samples from four of the six BKV-HC patients belonged to subtype Ic. The gene sequences of these four BKV exhibited >99.5% homology. CONCLUSION Our study suggests that nosocomial BKV infections may occur after HSCT. Although many cases of BKV-HC are caused by the reactivation of a latent virus, it is necessary to employ appropriate hygiene measures when cases of BKV-HC occur.

Economic and Clinical Burden of Virus-Associated Hemorrhagic Cystitis in Patients Following Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation in the United States. Transplant Cell Ther 2021; 27:505.e1-505.e9.

Abstract
Hemorrhagic cystitis (HC) caused by viral infections such as BK virus, cytomegalovirus, and/or adenovirus after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HCT) causes morbidity and mortality, affects quality of life, and poses a substantial burden to the health care system. At present, HC management is purely supportive, as there are no approved or recommended antivirals for virus-associated HC. The objective of this retrospective observational study was to compare the economic burden, health resource utilization (HRU), and clinical outcomes among allo-HCT recipients with virus-associated HC to those without virus-associated HC using a large US claims database. Claims data obtained from the Decision Resources Group Real-World Evidence Data Repository were used to identify patients with first (index) allo-HCT procedure from January 1, 2012, through December 31, 2017. Outcomes were examined 1 year after allo-HCT and included total health care reimbursements, HRU, and clinical outcomes for allo-HCT patients with virus-associated HC versus those without. Further, a generalized linear model was used to determine adjusted reimbursements stratified by the presence or absence of any acute or chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after adjusting for age, health plan, underlying disease, stem cell source, number of comorbidities, baseline reimbursements, and follow-up time. Of 13,363 allo-HCT recipients, 759 (5.7%) patients met the prespecified criteria for virus-associated HC. Total unadjusted mean reimbursement was $632,870 for patients with virus-associated HC and $340,469 for patients without virus-associated HC. In a multivariable model, after adjusting for confounders, the adjusted reimbursements were significantly higher for virus-associated HC patients with and without GVHD compared to patients without virus-associated HC (P < .0001). Patients with virus-associated HC stayed 7.9 additional days in the hospital (P < .0001) and 6.1 additional days (P = .0009) in the intensive care unit (ICU) for the index hospitalization, as compared to patients without virus-associated HC. The hospital readmission rate was higher for allo-HCT patients with versus without virus-associated HC (P < .0001), resulting in 12.9 more days in the hospital (P < .0001) and 7.3 more days in the ICU (P < .0001) after the index hospitalization. Among patients with GVHD, those with virus-associated HC had significantly higher all-cause mortality as compared to those without virus-associated HC (23.2% versus 18.4%; P = .0035). In an adjusted analysis, patients with virus-associated HC had a significantly higher risk of mortality, regardless of the presence of GVHD. When stratified by GVHD, there were no significant differences in the baseline risk for renal impairment; virus-associated HC was associated with increased risk for renal impairment in the follow-up period in patients with or without GVHD (P < .0001 for both). After allo-HCT, patients with virus-associated HC have significantly higher health care reimbursements and HRU, with worse clinical outcomes, including renal impairment, irrespective of the presence of GVHD and significantly higher all-cause mortality in the presence of GVHD. Our results highlight the unmet clinical need for effective strategies to prevent and treat virus-associated HC in HCT recipients that may also reduce costs among these patients.

Presentation of BK polyomavirus-associated hemorrhagic cystitis after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation. Blood Adv 2021; 4:617-628.

Abstract
BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) has been associated with hemorrhagic cystitis (HC) after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT), but the natural history of HC and factors associated with the clinical course are incompletely understood. We retrospectively analyzed allogeneic HCT patients transplanted from 2007-2017 who presented after platelet engraftment or after day 28 post-HCT with BKPyV-associated HC (BKPyV-HC), which was defined as a positive urine BKPyV PCR, ≥1 plasma BKPyV viral load result, and macroscopic hematuria (Bedi grade ≥2). Factors associated with resolution of macroscopic hematuria and resolution of all cystitis symptoms within 90 days after HC diagnosis were investigated in multivariable models. In 128 patients with BKPyV-HC, the median times from diagnosis to resolution of all symptoms, macroscopic hematuria, and urinary clots (present in 55% [71/128]) were 24 days (15-44), 17 days (10-30), and 14 days (5-26), respectively. Ninety percent of patients had BKPyV viremia at the onset of HC with a median viral load of 1850 copies/mL (interquartile range, 240-8550). In multivariable models, high plasma viral load (≥10 000 copies/mL) and cytopenias at the beginning of BKPyV-HC were significantly associated with longer macroscopic hematuria and cystitis symptoms. Use of cidofovir was not associated with shorter duration of illness. In conclusion, BKPyV-HC after allogeneic HCT is characterized by prolonged and severe symptoms and requires improved management strategies. High-grade viremia and cytopenias were associated with a longer duration of BKPyV-associated HC. Accurate descriptions of disease and factors associated with prolonged recovery will inform end points of future clinical trials.

Abstract
BK virus (BKV)-related haemorrhagic cystitis (HC) is an important cause of morbidity following allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). The various risk factors include high-level BKV viruria and/or viremia, myeloablative conditioning, acute graft versus host disease (GVHD), cytomegalovirus viremia, and unrelated or HLA-mismatched donor. The presence of high plasma BK viral load and cytopenias have been implicated as important predictors for protracted disease course. These patients frequently require hospitalisation which may extend for several weeks. Supportive measures in the form of analgesics, intravenous hydration, bladder irrigation, and transfusion support remain the mainstay of management. Various drugs have been used with limited success in this setting. These include antiviral drugs, fluoroquinolones, leflunomide, growth factors, clotting factors, estrogens, and prostaglandins. The role of adoptive cellular immunotherapy has also been explored but lacks clinical validation. The strategies aimed at expediting urothelial repair like hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), intravesical fibrin glue and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) are emerging. Some patients with severe disease do require surgical intervention to relieve urinary obstruction. The frequent co-occurrence of acute GVHD and CMV disease further complicates the management in such patients. There is an unmet need for effective and evidence-based options for the prevention and management of this disease. Due to lack of robust data supported by randomised trials, the acceptability of the available guidelines to simplify the treatment is expected to be low. Despite the availability of various treatment options, the management of BKV-related HC in day-to-day practice continues to be a challenge. The aim of this article is to put forward an up-to-date review of the preventive and therapeutic strategies for BKV-related HC.

Multivariate analysis of factors for failed continuous bladder irrigation in hemorrhagic cystitis patients after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. BMC Urol 2020; 20:184. [PMID: 33172460 PMCID: PMC7653991 DOI: 10.1186/s12894-020-00757-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/09/2020] [Accepted: 11/02/2020] [Indexed: 01/19/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Continuous bladder irrigation (CBI) and proper adjustment of saline irrigation speed are important to avoid CBI failure in hemorrhagic cystitis (HC) patients after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Nevertheless, too fast irrigation speed could take away the patient's much heat, contribute to blood coagulopathy, and increase the nursing workload. Evaluation of risk for CBI failure remains an unmet clinical need. Methods The general information, clinical characteristics, and consultation records of HC patients in 1380 patients with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in our center from 2017 to 2019 were analyzed retrospectively. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to calculate the cutoff point of the continuous variable, and multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors affecting CBI failure in HC patients. Results The incidence of HC after HSCT was 23%. A total of 227 patients with HC above grade 2 were included. Univariate analysis showed that CRP, age, platelet counts, onset time after transplantation, albumin, and hemoglobin were associated with CBI failure in the short-term (P < 0.05). ROC curve and multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that CRP > 8.89 ng/ml (RR = 7.828, 95% CI 2.885–21.244), age < 14.5 years (RR = 9.940, 95% CI 3.219–30.697), and onset time of HC > 37d after transplantation (RR = 7.021, 95% CI 2.204–22.364), were independent risk factors for failure of CBI (P < 0.05). Conclusions The study identified CRP > 8.89 ng/ml, age < 14.5 years, and onset time of HC after HSCT > 37d are independent factors for failure of CBI, which could be combined to allow stratification of HC after HSCT patients into low-, intermediate- and high-risk subgroups of CBI failure.
