Abstract
We hypothesized that treatment-related weight loss is associated with worse outcomes following HSCT. Overall, 184 patients with AML who underwent induction therapy were classified according to d-BMI (BMI at transplant minus BMI at diagnosis) (kg/m2) as < -2, - 2 to + 2, and > + 2. At 1 year, OS was 67.9% (95% CI, 60.7-74.2), DFS was 64.1% (95% CI, 56.7-70.6), and GRFS was 40.2% (95% CI, 33.1-47.2). For d-BMI groups < - 2, - 2 to + 2, and > + 2, GRFS at 1 year was 16.1% (95% CI, 5.1-31.4), 45.4% (95% CI, 36.4-53.7), and 41.7% (95% CI, 22.2-60.1), respectively (P = 0.0067). Multivariate analysis showed that both worse OS (HR, 1.78; 95% CI, 1.02-3.14; P = 0.007) and GRFS (HR, 2.34; 95% CI, 1.26-4.35; P = 0.007) were associated with reduced BMI (d-BMI < - 2). Treatment-related weight reduction in AML was associated with poor outcome after HSCT.
