Abstract
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) reactivations cause significant morbidity in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) recipients. Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis with post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PTCy) is associated with an increased risk of CMV infections. Data are limited comparing HSCT with PTCy performed from matched sibling donors (MSDs), matched unrelated donors (MUDs), and haploidentical (Haplo) donors. In the present study, we aimed to characterize CMV reactivation and recurrence in patients with hematologic malignancies undergoing HSCT from MSD, MUD, and Haplo donors using PTCy as GVHD prophylaxis in the pre-letermovir era. We also analyzed risk factors of CMV reactivation, including GVHD as a time-dependent variable, on the incidence and mortality associated with CMV infections. We analyzed CMV reactivation in patients undergoing HSCT from 160 MSDs, 124 MUDs, and 82 Haplo donors from a single institution. Uniform GVHD prophylaxis with PTCy, sirolimus, and mycophenolate mofetil was given irrespective of donor type. Overall, 46% of patients had at least 1 CMV reactivation. The 1-year cumulative incidence of CMV infection was 39% for MSD, 44% for MUD, and 62% for Haplo donors (P < .001), with 96% of reactivations occurring before day +100. Multivariate analysis identified factors associated with the first CMV reactivation, including Haplo donor, positive recipient CMV serology, older patient age, and grade II-IV acute GVHD. The 1-year cumulative incidence of second reactivation from HSCT was 13%. Recipient CMV seropositivity, older patient age, and grade II-IV acute GVHD, but not type of donor, were identified as adverse factors for second CMV reactivation in multivariate analysis. The 1-year cumulative incidence of a third reactivation post HSCT was 4.4%. Ten cases of CMV disease were recorded, with no attributable deaths. Nevertheless, the risk for nonrelapse mortality was greater for patients who experienced CMV reactivation in multivariate time-dependent Cox model analysis. CMV reactivation is frequent in HSCT with PTCy in patients not receiving letermovir prophylaxis. Identified risk factors include the use of a Haplo donor, recipient CMV seropositivity, and grade II-IV acute GVHD. The prevalence of recurrent CMV reactivations is a noteworthy issue, especially after acute GVHD, warranting trials of secondary prophylaxis strategies.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review highlights recent advancements in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) for patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). RECENT FINDINGS Important improvements have been observed throughout the allo-HSCT procedure and patient management. Universal donor availability and reduced risk of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) have been achieved with the introduction of posttransplant cyclophosphamide for GVHD prophylaxis. It has contributed, together with advances in conditioning regimens, GVHD treatment and supportive care, to a reduced overall toxicity of the procedure. Relapse is now the most frequent cause of transplant failure. With increased knowledge of the biological characterization of AML, better prediction of transplant risks and more profound and standardized minimal residual disease (MRD) monitoring, pharmacological, and immunological strategies to prevent relapse are been developed. SUMMARY Allo-HSCT remains the standard of care for high-risk AML. Increased access to transplant, reduced toxicity and relapse are improving patient outcomes. Further research is needed to optimize MRD monitoring, refine conditioning regimens, and explore new GVHD management and relapse prevention therapies.

Abstract
Calcineurin inhibitors (CNIs), including cyclosporine and tacrolimus, are frequently associated with neurologic complications after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). However, there is a lack of studies comparing the incidence and characteristics of neurologic complications in patients undergoing HSCT based on CNI-free or CNI-based GVHD prophylaxis. This retrospective single-center study analyzed the neurologic complications in 2 cohorts of patients undergoing HSCT with either CNI-based GVHD prophylaxis (n = 523) or CNI-free prophylaxis with post-transplantation cyclophosphamide, sirolimus, and mycophenolate mofetil (n = 371). The latter cohort included older patients and received more reduced-intensity conditioning and transplants from matched unrelated and haploidentical donors. The 2-year cumulative incidence of neurologic complications was significantly lower in the CNI-free cohort (6.9% versus 11.9%; P = .016), and GVHD prophylaxis was the sole statistically significant variable in multivariate analysis (hazard ratio, 2.2; 95% confidence interval [CI], .25 to 3.13; P = .0017). The distribution of neurologic types was similar in the 2 cohorts, with encephalopathy the most prevalent complication, except for headaches and myopathy, which decreased equally from 15% in the CNI-based cohort to 4% in the CNI-free cohort. Neurologic complications had negative impacts on mortality and survival rates, with a significantly higher 2-year cumulative incidence of nonrelapse mortality (NRM) (44% [95% CI, 34% to 54%] versus 16% [95% CI, 13% to 18%]; P < .0001) and inferior overall survival (66% [95% CI, 62% to 69%] versus 46% [95% CI, 37% to 58%]; P < .0001) in patients with neurologic complications. This study suggests that CNI-free GVHD prophylaxis with post-transplantation cyclophosphamide, sirolimus, and mycophenolate mofetil may reduce not only the incidence of GVHD incidence, but also the rates of neurologic complications and NRM, leading to improved survival outcomes in patients undergoing HSCT.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Transfusion plays a main role in supportive treatment for patients who receive an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). In this study, we compare the transfusion requirements of patients undergoing different modalities of HSCT according to different time periods. The objective is to assess the evolution of HSCT transfusion requirements over time, from a single institution. METHODS The clinical charts and transfusion records of patients who underwent HSCT of different modalities at La Fe University Hospital during a twelve-year period were reviewed (2009-2020). For analysis, we divided the overall time into three periods: 1 from 2009 to 2012, 2 from 2013 to 2016 and 3 from 2017 to 2020. The study included 855 consecutive adult HSCT: 358 HLA-matched related donors (MRD), 134 HLA-matched unrelated donors (MUD), 223 umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT) and 140 haploidentical transplants (Haplo-HSCT). RESULTS There were no significant differences in RBC and PLT requirements or transfusion independence among the three time periods for MUD and Haplo-HSCT. However, the transfusion burden increased significantly for MRD HSCT during the 2017-2020 period. CONCLUSION despite HSCT modalities having evolved and changed over time, overall transfusion requirements have not significantly decreased and continue to be a cornerstone of transplantation-supportive care.

Abstract
Bone marrow (BM) is the recommended stem cell source for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) from matched sibling donors (MSDs) in patients with severe aplastic anemia (SAA) for its superior survival and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) outcomes compared to recipients of unmanipulated peripheral blood (PB) HSCT. Nevertheless, no studies comparing BM with ex vivo T cell-depleted (TCD) PB have been reported to date. The aim of the present study was to compare the transplantation outcomes of MSD HSCT recipients with SAA using PB (with partial ex vivo TCD targeted cell dose grafts) with those of MSD HSCT recipients with SAA using unmanipulated BM. We performed a matched-pair analysis of MSD-HSCT using TCD PB in a single institution with unmanipulated BM MSD-HSCT in the United States between 2013 and 2019 reported to the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research. We compared 23 recipients of TCD PB HSCT for SAA (cases) and 69 recipients of unmanipulated BM grafts (controls) matched for age, Karnofsky Performance Status, Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation-Specific Comorbidity Index, time from diagnosis to transplantation, and recipient cytomegalovirus serostatus. We found significantly faster neutrophil and platelet recovery in the TCD PB cohort (P < .001 and P = .03, respectively), as well as a lower incidence of grade II-IV acute GVHD (0% versus 17%; P = .05) and similar overall survival (96% versus 97% at 3 years; P = .8). Our study shows that TCD PB can be considered a safe source for MSD-HSCT in patients with SAA, with potential advantages in engraftment and GVHD that could challenge the standard with BM. These findings provide a basis for future research in a prospective controlled clinical trial.

Abstract
Post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) has emerged as a promising graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) prophylaxis in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). However, no studies have reported the efficacy of a GvHD prophylaxis based on PTCy with sirolimus (Sir-PTCy) in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). In this retrospective study, we analyze the use of sirolimus in combination with PTCy, with or without mycophenolate mofetil (MMF), on 242 consecutive adult patients with AML undergoing a myeloablative first allo-HSCT from different donor types, in three European centers between January 2017 and December 2020. Seventy-seven (32%) patients received allo-HSCT from HLA-matched sibling donor, 101 (42%) from HLA-matched and mismatched unrelated donor, and 64 (26%) from haploidentical donor. Except for neutrophil and platelet engraftment, which was slower in the haploidentical cohort, no significant differences were observed in major transplant outcomes according to donor type in univariate and multivariate analysis. GvHD prophylaxis with Sir-PTCy, with or without MMF, is safe and effective in patients with AML undergoing myeloablative allo-HSCT, resulting in low rates of transplant-related mortality, relapse/progression, and acute and chronic GvHD in all donor settings.

Abstract
The poor prognosis of refractory or relapsed (R/R) classical Hodgkin's lymphoma (cHL) after autologous stem cell transplantation has improved greatly due to the introduction of brentuximab vedotin and PD-1 inhibitors. However, the duration of response achieved with these novel agents is too short. The information about the management of patients after anti-PD-1 therapy failure is very limited in cHL, although chemotherapy alone or combined with PD-1 inhibitors has shown encouraging results. We report three cases of heavily pretreated cHL, refractory to nivolumab monotherapy, successfully rescued with the addition of chemotherapy to nivolumab, as a bridge to allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT). All three patients presented poor clinical features such as three to four previous lines including brentuximab vedotin and autologous stem cell transplantation, refractoriness to the last line of therapy previous to nivolumab, and rapid disease progression. Notwithstanding these characteristics and nivolumab failure, they achieved a complete response after the addition of chemotherapy, were consolidated with allo-SCT, and still remain in complete response. There are few studies concerning the combination of PD-1 inhibitors and chemotherapy after nivolumab failure, including one retrospective study and one phase II trial with nivolumab plus bendamustine. Therefore, only few patients are consolidated with allo-SCT. However, there are several ongoing trials investigating new combinations of chemotherapy and PD-1 inhibitors in R/R cHL, as well as in first line. All these data suggest that anti-PD-1 therapy may reprogram the immune system, activating and inhibiting effector and immunosuppressive cells, respectively, leading to overtake of chemorefractoriness. Allo-SCT can increase the immune-related events of patients treated with anti-PD-1 previously, consistent on acute graft-versus-host disease, sinusoidal obstruction syndrome, and noninfectious febrile syndrome. In conclusion, the combination of PD-1 inhibitor and chemotherapy may be a feasible therapy after anti-PD-1 treatment failure as a bridge to allo-SCT.

Abstract
It is uncertain whether gastrointestinal (GI) infection caused by viral and bacterial pathogens may predispose to gastrointestinal acute Graft-versus-host disease (aGvHD-GI) in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients (allo-HSCT). We investigated the potential association between detection of enteropathogenic viruses or bacteria in stools and subsequent occurrence of aGvHD-GI in a cohort of 121 allo-HSCT patients. Eighty-six out of 121 patients (71%) had acute diarrhea and underwent screening for primary GI pathogens by molecular diagnostic methods. One or more GI pathogens were detected in 27 out of the 86 patients with diarrhea (31.3%). Specifically, Clostridioides difficile was found in 16 patients (18.6%), enteropathogenic viruses in 11 patients (12.7%) (Astrovirus, n = 4; Norovirus, n = 2; Sapovirus, n = 2; Adenovirus, n = 2; and Rotavirus, n = 1), and Campylobacter spp. in two patients (2.3%). Thirty patients were diagnosed with all grade aGvHD-GI by histopathology. Detection of primary GI pathogens was achieved in 12 out of 30 patients (Clostridium difficile, n = 5; enteric viruses, n = 8; Campylobacter spp., n = 1) who either subsequently developed (n = 9) or previously had (n = 3) grade I-IV IaGvHD (n = 9). Neither the detection of these microorganisms (all combined), enteric viruses, nor C. difficile was significantly associated with subsequent aGvHD-GI development in Cox models (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.11, p = .80; HR = 1.64, p = .62; HR = 0.75, p = .64, respectively). Analogous results were obtained when grade II-IV aGvHD-GI was selected as the clinical outcome. In summary, data in the current study did not support an association between GI infection and subsequent occurrence of aGvHD-GI in an unselected cohort of allo-HSCT recipients.

Abstract
Torque Teno virus (TTV) DNA load in blood may act as a marker of immune competence after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients (allo-HSCT). Conflicting data have been reported as to the value of this biomarker for anticipating acute Graft versus host disease (aGvHD) occurrence. Here, we hypothesized that quantitation of TTV DNA load in stool specimens early after allo-HSCT could be used to identify patients at high risk of acute intestinal graft versus host disease (aIGvHD). In this prospective two-center study, we recruited a total of 83 nonconsecutive adult patients undergoing allo-HSCT. The study period comprised the first 120 days after allo-HSCT. TTV DNA was quantitated in paired stool samples collected at a median of 2 days prior to cell infusion and at a median of 14 days after allo-HSCT by real-time PCR. Thirty-seven patients developed aGVHD, of whom 25 had aIGVHD (diagnosed at a median of 42 days after allo-HSCT). Median TTV DNA load values in posttransplant stools specimens were comparable (P = .34) in patients with or without subsequent aIGvHD; nevertheless, a falling trajectory (decrease in TTV DNA load >0.5 log10 copies/0.1 g) in paired pretransplant and posttransplant specimens was independently associated with the occurrence of aIGvHD (OR, 5.2; 95% CI, 1.3-21.3; P = .02). Notably, displaying a rising trajectory had a negative predictive value of 87.5% for aIGvHD. In summary, in this hypothesis-generating study, we suggest that the decrease in TTV DNA load from baseline in stool specimens may identify patients at risk of aIGVHD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the efficacy and safety of CD34+ selected ex vivo T-cell depletion (TCD) vs post-transplant cyclophosphamide, sirolimus, and mycophenolate mofetil (PTCy-Sir-MMF) as graft-vs-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis. METHODS We retrospectively included patients who underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) with either TCD (n = 38) or PTCy-Sir-MMF (n = 91). RESULTS Cumulative incidence of neutrophil and platelet recovery was 92% vs 99% (P = .06) and 89% vs 97% (P = .3) in TCD and PTCy-Sir-MMF, respectively. Cumulative incidences of aGHVD grade II-IV, III-IV, and moderate to severe cGVHD were 11% vs 19% (P = .2), 3% vs 2% (P = .9), and 3% vs 36% (P < .001) in TCD and PTCy-Sir-MMF, respectively. The 2-year non-relapse mortality, relapse, disease-free and overall survival were 25% vs 8% (P = .01), 20% vs 16% (P = .2), 55% vs 76% (P = .004), 57% vs 83% (P = .004) for TCD and PTCy-Sir-MMF, respectively. Cumulative incidence of cytomegalovirus and Epstein-Barr infection requiring therapy was 76% vs 40% (P < .001) and 32% vs 0% (P < .001) in TCD and PTCy-Sir-MMF, respectively. PTCy-Sir-MMF platform showed faster T-cell reconstitution. CONCLUSIONS PTCy-Sir-MMF provides better survival outcomes but is associated with higher risk of cGVHD compared to TCD.

Abstract
Characteristics and risk factors (RFs) of community-acquired respiratory virus (CARV) infections after umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT) are lacking. We retrospectively analyzed CARV infections in 216 single-unit myeloablative UCBT recipients. One-hundred and fourteen episodes of CARV infections were diagnosed in 62 (29%) patients. Upper respiratory tract disease (URTD) occurred in 61 (54%) whereas lower respiratory tract disease (LRTD) in 53 (46%). The 5-year cumulative incidence of CARV infection was 29%. RFs for developing CARV infections were: prednisone-based graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis and grade II–IV acute GVHD. RFs analysis of CARV progression to LRTD identified 2007–2009 period and absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) < 0.5 × 109/L. ALC < 0.5 × 109/L had a negative impact on day 60 mortality in both overall CARV and those with LRTD, whereas proven LRTD was associated with higher day 60 mortality. CARV infections had a negative effect on non-relapse mortality. Overall survival at day 60 after CARV detection was significantly lower in recipients with LRTD compared with URTD (74% vs. 93%, respectively). In conclusion, CARV infections after UCBT are frequent and may have a negative effect in the outcomes, in particular in the context of lymphocytopenia.

Abstract
Rapid detection methods used as first diagnostic test for CARVs may delayed the start of antiviral therapy in a significant number of influenza and RSV cases. Syndromic multiplex RT-PCR-based prospective clinical CARV survey in allo-HCT recipients translates into a lower mortality rate as compared to standard clinical practice based on RSV and influenza virus rapid detection test. We found that donor/recipient HLA mismatch, CARV LRTD and high-risk ISI were also associated with higher mortality.
Background There is a lack of studies comparing clinical outcomes among retrospective versus prospective cohorts of allogeneic stem cell transplant (allo-HCT) recipients with community acquired respiratory virus (CARV) infections. Methods We compare outcomes in two consecutive cohorts of allo-HCT recipients with CARV infections. The retrospective cohort included 63 allo-HCT recipients with 108 CARV infections from January 2013 to April 2016 who were screened and managed following standard clinical practice based on influenza and respiratory syncytial virus rapid antigen detection methods. The prospective cohort was comprised of 144 consecutive recipients with 297 CARV episodes included in a prospective interventional clinical surveillance program (ProClinCarvSur-P) based on syndromic multiplex PCR as first-line test from May 2016 to December 2018 at a single transplant center. Results CARV infections in the retrospective cohort showed more severe clinical features at the time of diagnosis compared to the prospective cohort (fever 83% vs. 57%, hospital admission 69% vs. 28% and lower respiratory tract 58% vs. 31%, respectively, p ≤ 0.002 for all comparisons). Antiviral therapy was more commonly prescribed in the prospective cohort (69 vs. 43 treated CARV episodes), particularly at the upper respiratory tract disease stage (34 vs. 12 treated CARV episodes). Three-month all-cause mortality was significantly higher in the retrospective cohort (n = 23, 37% vs. n = 10, 7%, p < 0.0001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that recipients included in ProClinCarvSur-P had lower mortality rate [odds ratio 0.31, 95% confidence interval 0.12–0.7, p = 0.01]. Conclusion This study report on outcome differences when reporting retrospective vs. prospective CARV infections after allo-HCT. Recipients included in a ProClinCarvSur-P had lower mortality.

Abstract
In this prospective randomized study, we compared the outcomes of single-unit umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT) and unmanipulated haploidentical stem cell transplantation (haplo-SCT) with post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PTCy) in adults with hematologic malignancies. All patients received a myeloablative conditioning (MAC) regimen consisting of thiotepa, busulfan, and fludarabine, with antithymocyte globulin (ATG) added for UCBT recipients. Nineteen patients were randomized to UCBT and the other 26 to haplo-HSCT. Four patients (15%) allocated to the haplo-HSCT arm lacked a suitable donor and were crossed over to the UCBT arm. Finally, 23 underwent UCBT and 22 underwent haplo-HSCT. The cumulative incidence of neutrophil recovery was 87% at a median of 19 days (range, 13 to 24 days) in the UCBT arm versus 100% at a median of 17 days (range, 13 to 25 days) in the haplo-SCT arm (P = .04). Platelet recovery was 70% at a median of 40 days (range, 18 to 129 days) in the UCBT arm versus 86% at a median of 24 days (range, 12 to 127 days) in the haplo-HCT arm (P = .02). Rates of acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) grade II-IV or grade III-IV, overall chronic GVHD, and extensive chronic GVHD in the UCBT and Haplo-SCT arms were 43% versus 36% (P = .8), 9% versus 9% (P = 1), 66% versus 43% (P = .04), and 41% versus 23% (P = .2), respectively. Two-year nonrelapse mortality and relapse in the 2 arms were 52% versus 23% (P = .06) and 17% versus 23% (P = .5), respectively. Two-year disease-free survival, overall survival, and GVHD/relapse-free survival in the 2 arms were 30% versus 54% (P = .2), 35% versus 59% (P = .1), and 17% versus 40% (P = .04), respectively. Our data show that in the context of an MAC regimen, haplo-SCT with PTCy provides improved outcomes compared with ATG-containing single-unit UCBT.

Abstract
We analyzed the outcomes of 26 consecutive patients with acquired severe aplastic anemia (SAA) undergoing peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) with partial ex vivo T cell depletion with a targeted T cell dose from HLA-identical sibling donors. The median patient age was 37 years (range, 3 to 63 years). Four patients with uncontrolled pneumonia at the time of transplantation died, on days +1, +2, +21, and +26. All evaluable patients engrafted, with a median time to neutrophil recovery of 11 days (range, 10 to 14 days) and a median time to platelet recovery of 19 days (range, 8 to 53 days). Two patients had transient grade I acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) with skin involvement, but no patients developed grade II-IV acute GVHD. Two patients had mild skin chronic GVHD, and 1 patient had moderate chronic GVHD with ocular involvement. No relapse was observed after a median follow-up of 114 months (range, 4 to 233 months). The overall cumulative incidence of TRM at 10 years was 19%, whereas it was 5% for those with a Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) score >60 at the time of transplantation. Disease-free survival, overall survival, and GVHD and relapse-free survival at 10 years were 81%, 81%, and 80%, respectively, for all patients and 95%, 95%, and 90%, respectively, for patients with a KPS score >60 at transplantation. Our data indicate that PBSCT with partial ex vivo T cell-depleted targeted cell dose grafts from an HLA-identical sibling donor is a feasible, safe, and effective approach to reduce GVHD and cure patients with SAA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To date no definitive cut-off value for cytomegalovirus (CMV) DNA load in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid specimens has been established to discriminate between CMV pneumonia and pulmonary CMV DNA shedding in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (allo-HSCT) recipients. METHODS The current retrospective study is aimed at assessing the range of CMV DNA loads quantified in BAL fluid specimens from allo-HSCT patients with pneumonia in which different microorganisms were causally involved. RESULTS A total of 144 BAL specimens from 123 patients were included. CMV DNA was detected in 56 out of 144 BAL fluid specimens and the median CMV DNA load from patients in whom CMV pneumonia was unlikely or could be tentatively ruled out was 1210 (31-68, 920) IU/ml. The frequency of CMV DNA detection and median CMV DNA loads were comparable, irrespective of the attributable cause of pneumonia. Detection of CMV DNA loads in BAL fluid specimens >500 IU/ml was independently associated with pneumonia-attributable mortality. CONCLUSIONS The current study highlights the difficulty in establishing universal CMV DNA load thresholds in BAL fluid specimens for distinguishing between CMV pneumonia and pulmonary CMV DNA shedding, and suggests that the presence of CMV DNA in BAL fluid specimens beyond a certain level may have a deleterious impact on patient outcome.

Abstract
Risk factors (RFs) and mortality data of community‐acquired respiratory virus (CARVs) lower respiratory tract disease (LRTD) with concurrent pulmonary co‐infections in the setting of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo‐HSCT) is scarce. From January 2011 to December 2017, we retrospectively compared the outcome of allo‐HSCT recipients diagnosed of CARVs LRTD mono‐infection (n = 52, group 1), to those with viral, bacterial, or fungal pulmonary CARVs LRTD co‐infections (n = 15, group 2; n = 20, group 3, and n = 11, group 4, respectively), and with those having bacterial pneumonia mono‐infection (n = 19, group 5). Overall survival (OS) at day 60 after bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) was significantly higher in group 1, 2, and 4 compared to group 3 (77%, 67%, and 73% vs 35%, respectively, P = .012). Recipients of group 5 showed a trend to better OS compared to those of group 3 (62% vs 35%, P = .1). Multivariate analyses showed bacterial co‐infection as a RF for mortality (hazard ratio[HR] 2.65, 95% C.I. 1.2‐6.9, P = .017). We identified other 3 RFs for mortality: lymphocyte count <0.5 × 109/L (HR 2.6, 95% 1.1‐6.2, P = .026), the occurrence of and CMV DNAemia requiring antiviral therapy (CMV‐DNAemia‐RAT) at the time of BAL (HR 2.32, 95% C.I. 1.1‐4.9, P = .03), and the need of oxygen support (HR 8.3, 95% C.I. 2.9‐35.3, P = .004). CARV LRTD co‐infections are frequent and may have a negative effect in the outcome, in particular in the context of bacterial co‐infections.
