BOS after HCT: Preceding Events, Diagnostic Characteristics, and Natural History of Patients Treated on a Prospective Trial
Year: 2015
Type: article
Abstract: Bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) is a serious late complication of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) with poorly characterized risk factors and natural history due to disease rarity. We describe the prevalence of potential risk factors, diagnostic characteristics, and natural history of 36 individuals enrolled on a multicenter prospective trial (NCT01307462) to treat new onset BOS after HSCT. BOS was diagnosed using modified 2005 NIH consensus criteria (FEV1<75% predicted, FEV1/VC<0.7, and >10% FEV1 decline from pre-HCT).
