ABSTRACT
The impact of absolute neutrophil count (ANC) before allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) on the outcomes for patients with aplastic anemia (AA) remains unclear. We retrospectively evaluated the relationship between ANC before transplantation and patient outcomes, involving 883 adult Japanese patients with AA who underwent allogeneic HSCT as their first transplantation between 2008 and 2020. Patients were divided into three groups based on ANC 0/µL (n = 116); 1-199 (n = 210); and ≥ 200 (n = 557). In the low ANC groups (ANC < 200), patient age was higher, previous anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) treatments were infrequent, duration from diagnosis to transplantation was shorter, hematopoietic cell transplantation-comorbidity index (HCT-CI) was higher, ATG-based conditioning was used infrequently, and peripheral blood stem cell from related donor and cord blood were used frequently. In multivariate analysis, patient age, previous ATG treatment, HCT-CI, stem cell source, and ANC before transplantation were significantly associated with 5-year overall survival (OS) ("ANC ≥ 200" 80.3% vs. "ANC 1-199" 71.7% vs. "ANC 0" 64.4%). The cumulative incidence of bacterial infection, invasive fungal disease, and early death before engraftment were significantly higher in the low ANC groups. Among patients with ANC of zero before transplantation, younger patient age, shorter duration from diagnosis to transplantation, HCT-CI of 0, and bone marrow from related donor as stem cell source were significantly associated with better OS. Consequently, ANC before allogeneic HSCT was found to be a significant prognostic factor in adult patients with AA. Physicians should pay attention to ANC before transplantation.
