257: Validation of the hematopoietic cell transplantation-comorbidity index (HCT-CI) for non-relapse mortality (NRM) and survival after matched unrelated donor SCT

Year: 2007

Type: article

Abstract: Background: The HCT-CI is a recently developed comorbidity score which has been adapted to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, with higher scores associated to worse outcomes (Blood 2005;106:2912) . We determined the HCT-CI score in a cohort of patients who underwent conventional MUD transplantation in a single arm, single institution trial assessing efficacy of a 3-drug combination of cyclosporine, methotrexate and prednisone for GVHD prophylaxis from 1996-2005.
