ABSTRACT
Malglycemia, defined as hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia, or increased glycemic variability, has been associated with increased mortality after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). Among critically ill non-HCT recipients with diabetes and poor glycemic control, compared to those without diabetes, stringent blood glucose control has been associated with increased mortality. This study investigated whether a pre-HCT diagnosis of diabetes and the type of pre-HCT diabetes treatment modulate the previously reported negative impact of malglycemia on post-HCT nonrelapse mortality (NRM). We performed a single-institution retrospective analysis of mortality outcomes after allogeneic HCT as a function of post-HCT blood glucose levels, pre-HCT diagnosis of diabetes, and type of pre-HCT diabetes treatment (insulin, no insulin). A total of 1062 patients who underwent allogeneic HCT between 2015 and 2020 were included in this study. Among these patients, 84 (8%) had a pre-HCT diagnosis of diabetes, of whom 38 (4%) used insulin and 46 (4%) used a noninsulin antiglycemic agent. Post-HCT blood glucose values measured within 100 days from HCT, modeled as a continuous nonlinear time-varying covariate, were associated with day-200 NRM, with both lower and higher glycemic values associated with higher NRM compared to normoglycemic values (adjusted P < .0001). The association between post-HCT blood glucose and NRM varied, however, depending on the presence or absence of a pre-HCT diagnosis of diabetes; that is, there was evidence of a statistical interaction between blood glucose levels and diabetes (adjusted P = .008). In particular, the detrimental impact of hyperglycemic values was more pronounced in patients without a pre-HCT diagnosis of diabetes compared to those with a pre-HCT diagnosis of diabetes. As reported previously, higher and lower blood glucose levels measured within 100 days after allogeneic HCT were associated with an increased risk of NRM; however, this association was more pronounced among patients without a pre-HCT diagnosis of diabetes compared to those with a pre-HCT diagnosis of diabetes, suggesting that patients with diabetes are relatively protected from the downstream effects of hyperglycemia. These data support the notion that patients with pre-HCT diabetes may need a different approach to blood glucose management after transplantation compared to those without diabetes. © 2024 American Society for Transplantation and Cellular Therapy.
