Abstract
Rationale: Pulmonary complications contribute significantly to nonrelapse mortality following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT). Identifying patients at high risk can help enroll such patients into clinical studies to better understand, prevent, and treat posttransplantation respiratory failure syndromes. Objectives: To develop and validate a prediction model to identify those at increased risk of acute respiratory failure after HCT. Methods: Patients underwent HCT between January 1, 2019, and December 31, 2021, at one of three institutions. Those treated in Rochester, MN, formed the derivation cohort, and those treated in Scottsdale, AZ, or Jacksonville, FL, formed the validation cohort. The primary outcome was the development of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), with secondary outcomes including the need for invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) and/or noninvasive ventilation (NIV). Predictors were based on prior case-control studies. Measurements and Main Results: Of 2,450 patients undergoing stem cell transplantation, there were 1,718 hospitalizations (888 patients) in the training cohort and 1,005 hospitalizations (470 patients) in the test cohort. A 22-point model was developed, with 11 points from prehospital predictors and 11 points from posttransplantation or early (<24-h) in-hospital predictors. The model performed well in predicting ARDS (C-statistic, 0.905; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.870-0.941) and the need for IMV and/or NIV (C-statistic, 0.863; 95% CI, 0.828-0.898). The test cohort differed markedly in demographic, medical, and hematologic characteristics. The model also performed well in this setting in predicting ARDS (C-statistic, 0.841; 95% CI, 0.782-0.900) and the need for IMV and/or NIV (C-statistic, 0.872; 95% CI, 0.831-0.914). Conclusions: A novel prediction model incorporating data elements from the pretransplantation, posttransplantation, and early in-hospital domains can reliably predict the development of post-HCT acute respiratory failure.

Abstract
Hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) and chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy recipients are susceptible to multiple pulmonary complications that are caused by infectious and noninfectious processes. Numerous variables can be associated with specific pulmonary diseases including time from transplantation, presence of graft versus host disease (GVHD), underlying disease, and prolonged neutropenia and lymphocytopenia. Most pulmonary complications are infectious in origin, with bacterial pneumonia remaining the most common pulmonary infection, particularly before neutrophil engraftment. Invasive fungal infections continue to affect this patient population even when antifungal prophylaxis is used. Noninfectious pulmonary complications include a wide differential of pathologies in this population, and as clinical presentations of these various pulmonary disorders often overlap, clinicians frequently will use a multidisciplinary approach in diagnosing these abnormalities. Radiography, particularly with chest computed tomography (CT) imaging, is an essential tool in identifying pulmonary pathology and potential sources. While standard microbiological cultures of respiratory specimens are still utilized, their role is limited by low sensitivity and diagnostic yield. The likelihood of obtaining a diagnosis can be improved by using other microbiological assays, including fungal antigen tests and molecular diagnostic methods, particularly if specimens are collected via bronchoscopy. This review will highlight the more common causes of pulmonary diseases encountered after HCT and CAR-T and will examine the different methods in their diagnosis.

Abstract
Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) is a morbid syndrome that occurs after autologous and allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation in children and adults. DAH manifests most often in the first few weeks following transplantation. It presents with pneumonia-like symptoms and acute respiratory failure, often requiring high levels of oxygen supplementation or mechanical ventilatory support. Hemoptysis is variably present. Chest radiographs typically feature widespread alveolar filling, sometimes with peripheral sparing and pleural effusions. The diagnosis is suspected when serial bronchoalveolar lavages return increasingly bloody fluid. DAH is differentiated from infectious causes of alveolar hemorrhage when extensive microbiological testing reveals no pulmonary pathogens. The cause is poorly understood, though preclinical and clinical studies implicate pretransplant conditioning regimens, particularly those using high doses of total-body-irradiation, acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), medications used to prevent GVHD, and other factors. Treatment consists of supportive care, systemic corticosteroids, platelet transfusions, and sometimes includes antifibrinolytic drugs and topical procoagulant factors. Therapeutic blockade of tumor necrosis factor-α showed promise in observational studies, but its benefit for DAH remains uncertain after small clinical trials. Even with these treatments, mortality from progression and relapse is high. Future investigational therapies could target the vascular endothelial cell biology theorized to contribute to alveolar bleeding and pathways that contribute to susceptibility, inflammation, cellular resilience, and tissue repair. This review will help clinicians navigate through the limited evidence to diagnose and treat DAH, counsel patients and families, and plan for future research.

Abstract
Pulmonary complications after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) are important sources of morbidity and mortality. Improvements in infection-related complications have made noninfectious pulmonary complications an increasingly significant driver of transplantation-related mortality. Broadly, these complications can be characterized as either early or late complications, with idiopathic pneumonia syndrome and bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome the most prevalent early and late complications, respectively. Outcomes with historical treatment consisting mainly of corticosteroids are often poor, highlighting the need for a deeper understanding of these complications' underlying disease biology to guide the adoption of novel therapies that are being increasingly used in the modern era.

Abstract
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) remains the only therapy with a curative potential for a variety of malignant and non-malignant diseases. The major limitation of the procedure is the significant morbidity and mortality mainly associated with the development of graft versus host disease (GVHD) as well as with a series of complications related to endothelial injury, such as sinusoidal obstruction syndrome/veno-occlusive disease (SOS/VOD), transplant-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (TA-TMA), etc. Endothelial cells (ECs) are key players in the maintenance of vascular homeostasis and during allo-HSCT are confronted by multiple challenges, such as the toxicity from conditioning, the administration of calcineurin inhibitors, the immunosuppression associated infections, and the donor alloreactivity against host tissues. The early diagnosis of endothelial dysfunction syndromes is of paramount importance for the development of effective prophylactic and therapeutic strategies. There is an urgent need for the better understanding of the pathogenetic mechanisms as well as for the identification of novel biomarkers for the early diagnosis of endothelial damage. This review summarizes the current knowledge on the biology of the endothelial dysfunction syndromes after allo-HSCT, along with the respective therapeutic approaches, and discusses the strengths and weaknesses of possible biomarkers of endothelial damage and dysfunction.

Abstract
Some of the early complications of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) concerning the small vessels can be summarized as transplant-associated systemic vasculopathies (TASV). One enzyme known to play a major role in inflammation, tissue remodeling, and repair processes as well as tumor metastasis is heparanase (HPSE). HPSE genetic variants have recently been associated with significant influence on the risk of developing certain TASV such as a sinusoidal obstruction syndrome. This study aimed to validate the two known HPSE single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)-rs4693608 and rs4364254-as a genetic predictor of TASV in a cohort of 494 patients and were correlated retrospectively with the clinical course post-HSCT. Significant association was revealed for rs4364254, showing that the incidence of TASV (38.0% vs. 57.8%, p = .009) and in particular of acute graft-versus-host disease (aGvHD) (36.3% vs. 54.0%, p = .0138) was lower in wildtype CC carriers than in TC/TT carriers. Moreover, compared with all other genotypes, the allelic combination GG-CC had the lowest incidence of TASV (34.9% vs. 57.4%, p = .0109) and aGvHD in particular (34.9% vs. 53.5%, p = .0315). A competing risk regression analysis confirmed a significantly reduced risk for a TASV in patients with GG (subhazard ratio [SHR] = 0.670, p = .043) and CC (SHR = 0.598, p = .041) compared with the corresponding homozygote SNP as well as for allelic combinations correlated with low HPSE gene expression (SHR = 0.630, p = .016) and in correlation with clinical risk factors. In summary, our study emphasizes an association of HPSE gene SNPs with TASV, in particular with aGvHD, which could be implementable as pre-transplant risk stratification if validated prospectively.

Abstract
The number of disorders that benefit from hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) has increased, causing the overall number of HSCT to increase accordingly. Disorders treated by HSCT include malignancy, benign hematologic disorders, bone marrow failure syndromes, and certain genetic diagnoses. Thus, understanding the complications, diagnostic workup of complications, and subsequent treatments has become increasingly important. One such category of complications includes the pulmonary system. While the overall incidence of pulmonary complications has decreased, the morbidity and mortality of these complications remain high. Therefore, having a clear differential diagnosis and diagnostic workup is imperative. Pulmonary complications can be subdivided by time of onset and whether the complication is infectious or non-infectious. While most infectious complications have clear diagnostic criteria and treatment courses, the non-infectious complications are more varied and not always well understood. This review article discusses pulmonary complications of HSCT recipients and outlines current knowledge, gaps in knowledge, and current treatment of each complication. This article includes some adult studies, as there is a significant paucity of pediatric data.

Pretransplant Risk Factors Can Predict Development of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome after Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation. Ann Am Thorac Soc 2021; 18:1004-1012.

Abstract
Rationale: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a common complication after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) and is a major contributor to nonrelapse mortality. Objectives: To better understand pretransplant risk factors for developing ARDS after HCT. Methods: This is a single-center observational study comparing risk factors for ARDS development in 164 patients who went on to develop post-HCT ARDS compared with 492 patients who did not. The patients were matched 1 to 3 on age, sex, type of transplant (allogeneic vs. autologous), and underlying disease. Pertinent risk factors were analyzed separately in multivariable conditional logistic regression after adjustment for a priori variables known to be associated with ARDS development. Results: Patients with ARDS were more likely to have a lower pretransplant pulmonary function as measured by forced vital capacity (FVC) (odds ratio [OR], 0.54 [0.42-0.70] per liter increase in FVC; P < 0.001), forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) (OR, 0.52 [0.38-0.71] per liter increase in FEV1; P < 0.001) and diffusing capacity (OR, 0.92 [0.88-0.96] per ml/min/mm Hg increase in diffusing capacity; P < 0.001). Several laboratory indices were predictive of subsequent ARDS development including elevated AST (aspartate aminotransferase) (OR, 1.01 [1.00-1.01]; P < 0.008), lower serum albumin (OR, 0.44 [0.30-0.66]; P < 0.001), lower pretransplant hemoglobin (OR, 0.82 [0.73-0.92]; P = 0.001), and lower leukocyte count (OR, 0.88 [0.79-0.99]; P < 0.03). Patients who went on to develop ARDS were more likely to have been hospitalized in the year before the transplant (OR, 1.11 [1.04-1.20]; P = 0.003), and required invasive or noninvasive ventilation during that hospitalization. Lastly, patients with ARDS were significantly more likely to have received carboplatin, thalidomide, methotrexate, and cisplatin than the non-ARDS control subjects. Conclusions: Several risk factors for developing ARDS after HCT are identifiable at the time of transplantation, well before the development of critical illness and ARDS. The identification of risk factors long before ARDS develops is relatively unique to the HCT population. Further work is needed to develop usable risk prediction tools in this setting.

Abstract
Rationale: The periengraftment respiratory distress syndrome (PERDS) is an early important cause of morbidity following autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). There are few contemporary data describing PERDS. Objectives: To determine prevalence, risk factors, and outcomes of PERDS after autologous HCT. Methods: This was a historical cohort study of adults undergoing autologous HCT at Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota, between 2005 and 2016. PERDS was defined as 1) respiratory failure requiring supplemental oxygen within 5 days on either side of the neutrophil engraftment date, 2) new pulmonary opacities on chest imaging, and 3) exclusion of an infectious or cardiac etiology to explain the clinical presentation. Results: Of 3,473 patients undergoing autologous HCT, 167 (4.8%) developed PERDS. Radiographic changes preceded engraftment in 77% of cases. In a multivariable regression model, risk factors for PERDS included female sex (odds ratio [OR], 1.73; P = 0.001), the number of preengraftment platelet transfusions (OR, 1.22; P = 0.002), and more rapid engraftment (OR, 0.72 per day longer; P < 0.001). PERDS cases were more likely to be admitted to the intensive care unit (47.3% vs. 9.5%, P < 0.001) and require intubation (20.4% vs. 1.6%, P < 0.001). In an adjusted 100-day death analysis, those diagnosed with PERDS were more likely to die (hazard ratio, 3.1; 95% confidence interval, 1.5-6.2; P = 0.002). Conclusions: PERDS is a common complication of autologous HCT and is associated with increased mortality and healthcare use. Radiographic evidence of pulmonary involvement precedes hematopoietic recovery. A larger number of platelet transfusions and more rapid engraftment appear to increase risk for PERDS.

Abstract
Hematopoietic stem cell transplants (HSCT) are becoming more widespread as a result of optimization of conditioning regimens and prevention of short-term complications with prophylactic antibiotics and antifungals. However, pulmonary complications post-HSCT remain a leading cause of morbidity and mortality and are a challenge to clinicians in both diagnosis and treatment. This comprehensive review provides a primer for non-pulmonary healthcare providers, synthesizing the current evidence behind common infectious and non-infectious post-transplant pulmonary complications based on time (peri-engraftment, early post-transplantation, and late post-transplantation). Utilizing the combination of timing of presentation, clinical symptoms, histopathology, and radiographic findings should increase rates of early diagnosis, treatment, and prognostication of these severe illness states.

Budesonide Prophylaxis Reduces the Risk of Engraftment Syndrome After Autologous Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation in Multiple Myeloma. CLINICAL LYMPHOMA MYELOMA & LEUKEMIA 2021; 21:e775-e781. [PMID: 34257042 DOI: 10.1016/j.clml.2021.06.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2021] [Revised: 05/31/2021] [Accepted: 06/02/2021] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Engraftment syndrome (ES) after autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (AHCT) in multiple myeloma (MM) encompasses a continuum of periengraftment complications characterized by noninfectious fever, rash, diarrhea, and capillary leak features. PATIENTS AND METHODS We analyzed the ES outcomes in 257 consecutive patients MM patients who underwent AHCT at our institution from 12/2017 to 11/2019 with budesonide prophylaxis (3 mg PO daily at day +5 post-AHCT till the time of discharge) (N = 109) and no prophylaxis (N = 148). RESULTS The rates of ES were significantly higher in the no prophylaxis group versus prophylaxis group [69 (46%) vs. 23 (21%); P< .001]. There was no significant difference in length of stay (LOS) [mean 15 (±3.2) vs. 16 (±2.8); P = .27] and 30-day readmission [9 (6%) vs. 8 (7%); P = .81] between the no prophylaxis and prophylaxis groups, respectively. On adjusted analysis, budesonide prophylaxis was associated with a significantly lower risk of developing ES [odds ratio (OR) 0.29 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.16-0.51); P< .0001]. There was no difference in the 30-day readmission rates [OR 1.12 (95% CI, 0.41-3.03); P = .81], but a trend for shorter LOS in the prophylaxis group [7.3% reduction in LOS (95% CI, -14.4% to 0%); P = .06]. CONCLUSION Budesonide prophylaxis significantly reduces the risk of ES in MM patients undergoing AHCT. These promising results suggest the need for a randomized study investigate the role of budesonide for ES prophylaxis.

Abstract
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is used for treatment of a myriad of both malignant and non-malignant disorders. However, despite many advances over the years which have resulted in improved patient mortality, this subset of patients remains at risk for a variety of post-transplant complications. Pulmonary complications of HSCT are categorized into infectious and non-infectious and occur in up to one-third of patients undergoing HSCT. Infectious etiologies include bacterial, viral and fungal infections, each of which can have significant mortality if not identified and treated early in the course of infection. Advances in the diagnosis and management of infectious complications highlight the importance of non-infectious pulmonary complications related to chemoradiation toxicities, immunosuppressive drugs toxicities, and graft-versus-host disease. This report aims to serve as a guide and clinical update of pulmonary complications following HSCT for the general pulmonologist who may be involved in the care of these patients.

The Impact of Prior Salvage Treatment With Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors on Hodgkin Lymphoma Patients Undergoing Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation: A Single-Center Experience. CLINICAL LYMPHOMA MYELOMA & LEUKEMIA 2021; 21:e726-e730. [PMID: 34158267 DOI: 10.1016/j.clml.2021.05.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2021] [Revised: 05/01/2021] [Accepted: 05/09/2021] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The objective of the study was to assess the impact of the previous use of immune-checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) on the clinical course of Hodgkin Lymphoma (HL) patients undergoing autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (ASCT). METHODS A single-center, retrospective chart review of adult HL patients who received ASCT from January 1, 2014, to December 31, 2019, was conducted. Primary endpoints included the length of stay (LOS) and the composite outcome of late-onset noninfectious fever (LONIF) or late-onset hypotension (LOH) requiring intravenous fluid (IVF) resuscitation. Secondary endpoints included number of days until neutrophil engraftment, documented infections, and corticosteroid use. RESULTS A total of 52 HL patients were included. Nine (17%) received ICI before ASCT, and 43 (83%) patients underwent standard salvage chemotherapy. The composite outcome of LONIF or LOH requiring IVF resuscitation was significantly higher in patients previously treated with ICIs compared with those who received standard non-ICI salvage chemotherapy (78% vs. 33%; P = .022). The differences between the median LOS and time to neutrophil engraftment were not statistically significant (P = .94 and P = .083, respectively). All LONIF patients received systemic corticosteroids with symptom resolution. CONCLUSION The composite outcome of LONIF or LOH requiring IVF resuscitation was significantly higher in patients who received prior ICI salvage therapy. LOS and time to neutrophil engraftment were not affected by prior ICI therapy. Early institution of steroids may prevent the evolution of additional sequelae associated with engraftment or engraftment-like syndrome that can complicate ASCT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is one of the pulmonary complications after hematopoietic cell transplantation (HSCT) with a poor prognosis. The effects of corticosteroid therapy in HSCT patients with ARDS have never been described. In this study, we aim to evaluate the effect of corticosteroid on hospital mortality and other outcomes in patients with HSCT and ARDS. METHODS In this bicenter retrospective study, data were collected from patients diagnosed with ARDS and HSCT. Patients were divided into an early high dose steroids group (receiving a cumulative dose ⩾480 mg of methylprednisolone or its equivalent within the first 3 days after ARDS onset) and a no early high dose steroids group. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to determine the risk factors of hospital mortality. Cox regression was performed to assess the effect of early high dose steroids on patient survival. A propensity score matched cohort was built to validate the results from the original study cohort. RESULTS Two hundred and sixty-four patients were included in the original study cohort; 89 (33.71%) patients received early high dose steroids; these patients had higher ventilator free days at day 28 (7.68 ± 4.32 versus 6.48 ± 4.76, p = 0.046); there was no difference in hospital mortality (64.04% versus 53.14%, p = 0.091). Patients with early high dose steroids had a higher incidence of new onset bacteremia (17.98% versus 4%, p < 0.001) and viremia (13.48% versus 3.43%, p = 0.002). The results were further confirmed in the propensity score matched cohort, except for the improvement of ventilator free days (6.02 ± 5.51 versus 5.57 ± 5.54, p = 0.643). CONCLUSION In this cohort of HSCT patients with ARDS, early high dose coticosteroids had no effect on hospital mortality. In addition, the incidences of new onset bacteremia and viremia were increased after early high dose steroids.The reviews of this paper are available via the supplemental material section.

Abstract
Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) is a life-threatening pulmonary complication in patients with hematologic malignancies or systemic autoimmune disorders. Pathologic findings show pulmonary capillaritis, bland hemorrhage, diffuse alveolar damage, and hemosiderin-laden macrophages, but in the majority of cases, pathogenesis remains unclear. Despite the severity and high mortality, the current treatment options for DAH remain empirical. Systemic treatment to control inflammatory activity including high-dose corticosteroids, cyclophosphamide, and rituximab and supportive care have been applied, but largely unsuccessful in critical cases. Activated recombinant factor VII (FVIIa) can achieve rapid local hemostasis and has been administered either systemically or intrapulmonary for the treatment of DAH. However, there is no randomized controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety, and the use of FVIIa for DAH remains open to debate. This review discusses the pathogenesis, diverse etiologies causing DAH, diagnosis, and treatments focusing on hemostasis using FVIIa. In addition, the risks and benefits of the off-label use of FVIIa in pediatric patients will be discussed in detail.

Abstract
Peri-engraftment respiratory distress syndrome (PERDS) is a kind of potentially life-threatening complication of autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). PERDS is characterized by fever, dyspnea, and hypoxemia during neutrophil engraftment. In order to identify the high-risk factors for PERDS, we retrospectively analyzed 260 patients with lymphoma undergoing ASCT in recent five years. The conditioning regimen was BuCyE (busulfan, cyclophosphamide, and etoposide). There were 16 patients (6.1%) diagnosed as PERDS. In multivariate analysis, prior anti-programmed death-1 (PD-1) therapy (hazard ratio [HR] = 8.852, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.954-26.527, P < 0.001) and history of pulmonary disease (HR = 3.718, 95% CI: 1.197-11.545, P = 0.023) were independent risk factors for PERDS. Patients with prior anti-PD-1 therapy (n = 31) had higher incidence of engraftment syndrome (77.4% vs. 33.4%, P < 0.001), PERDS (25.8% vs. 3.5%, P < 0.001), and transplant-related mortality (9.7% vs. 0.4%, P < 0.001), compared with those without prior anti-PD-1 therapy (n = 229). Subgroup analysis showed that sintilimab seemed to be associated with higher incidence of PERDS (42.9% vs. 11.8%, P = 0.06) compared with non-sintilimab group (pembrolizumab or toripalimab). C-reactive protein might be a feasible early predictor for PERDS. In conclusion, our study suggests that prior anti-PD-1 therapy may be a strong risk factor for life-threatening PERDS in patients with lymphoma undergoing ASCT.

Abstract
Introduction: Respiratory complications due to engraftment syndrome (ES) in the post-hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) setting can lead to acute respiratory failure (ARF). Outcomes of children developing ARF due to engraftment are unknown. Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 1,527 pediatric HSCT recipients and identified children who developed ARF due to ES over a 17-year period. Thirty patients that developed ARF and required invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) due to ES were included in this study. Results: The survival rate for our cohort was 80% [alive at intensive care unit (ICU) discharge]. The most common underlying primary disease was hematologic malignancy, and 67% of children underwent allogeneic HSCT. Further, 73% required vasopressor drips and 23% underwent dialysis. Survivors had a shorter median ICU length of stay than did non-survivors (15 vs. 40 days, respectively, p = 0.01). Survivors had a significantly lower median cumulative fluid overload % on days 4 and 5 after initiation of IMV than did non-survivors (2.8 vs. 14.0 ml/kg, p = 0.038 on day 4, and 1.8 vs. 14.9 ml/kg, p = 0.044 on day 5, respectively). Conclusion: Our results suggest that children who develop ARF during engraftment have better ICU survival rates than do those with other etiologies of ARF post-HSCT. Furthermore, fluid overload contributes to mortality in these children; therefore, strategies to prevent and address fluid overload should be considered.

Abstract
Endothelial cell (EC) activation has been suspected of triggering a group of rare and dismal complications that can occur after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Capillary leak syndrome, engraftment syndrome, transplant-associated microangiopathy, diffuse alveolar hemorrhage, and idiopathic pneumonia syndrome are the main nosological entities. Post-HSCT endotheliitis can be triggered by chemotherapy, infections, and calcineurin inhibitors, but allogeneic reactivity is claimed to be the common denominator. Endothelial damages are thought to activate several deleterious pathways (proapoptotic, procoagulant, proinflammatory) and can lead to multiorgan failure; however, clinical manifestations of each syndrome overlap, and their relationship with graft-versus-host disease could be minimal. The lack of well-defined diagnostic criteria does not allow for a clear-cut comparison in the current literature. Therapeutic efforts have been made to intercept the pathogenic mechanisms leading to EC dysfunction, but remission rates and survival remain mostly unsatisfactory. In this article, we have reviewed the incidence, clinical features, and treatment approaches of EC activation syndromes, and we plead for the development of internationally accepted standard definitions.

Abstract
Haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is an established treatment for a variety of malignant and nonmalignant conditions. Pulmonary complications, both infectious and noninfectious, are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients who undergo HSCT. Recent advances in prophylaxis and treatment of infectious complications has increased the significance of noninfectious pulmonary conditions. Acute lung injury associated with idiopathic pneumonia syndrome remains a major acute complication with high morbidity and mortality. On the other hand, bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome is the most challenging chronic pulmonary complication facing clinicians who are taking care of allogeneic HSCT recipients. Other noninfectious pulmonary complications following HSCT are less frequent. This review provides a clinical update of the incidence, risk factors, pathogenesis, clinical characteristics and management of the main noninfectious pulmonary complications following HSCT.

Abstract
Engraftment syndrome (ES) is a known complication of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant during neutrophil recovery. There is a limited amount of data available comparing the incidence of ES with post-transplant granulocyte colony-stimulating factor versus granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), specifically in patients with multiple myeloma. Our retrospective review of 156 patients at a single center showed that GM-CSF was associated with a higher incidence of ES compared with G-CSF (32% versus 8% of patients, P < .001) and that development of ES was associated with a 32.9% (P < .001) longer hospital stay. This suggests that the choice of growth factor could possibly contribute to the development of ES and the associated costs of increased medical care.

Abstract
Engraftment syndrome (ES) is a clinical syndrome that occurs in the early neutrophil recovery phase following hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). Although also described for allogenic HSCT, it is basically diagnosed in the context of autologous HSCT. We retrospectively reviewed 171 consecutive HSCTs performed between January 2013 and January 2015 in our Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT) unit and analyzed all cases of noninfectious fever and strong clinical features suggestive of ES in the peri-engraftment period for up to 7 days. We observed the incidence of ES to be 12.3% (16/130) in the autologous and 4.8% (2/41) in the allogeneic cohort. Among plasma cell disorders, which constitute 50% of our study population, the incidence of ES was 19.7%. Among the ES cases of autologous transplants, 81.2% (13/16) patients satisfied the Maiolino criteria (MC) and 87.5% (14/16) patients the Spitzer diagnostic criteria (SC). A total of 68.7% (11/16) patients satisfied both MC and SC, and two patients (12.5%) did not satisfy either (MC− SC−). There was no significant difference in days of hospitalization and usage of supportive care between ES and non-ES patients, and there was no mortality due to ES. On univariate analysis, female patients (p < 0.013) and those with diagnosis of a plasma cell disorder (p < 0.03) had higher risk of ES. In conclusion, the incidence of ES in our study population is consistent with that of many others, but severity evaluation needs exploration in larger cohorts with pragmatically modified diagnostic criteria.

Abstract
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is an established treatment for patients with a wide range of malignant and nonmalignant conditions. Noninfectious pulmonary complications still remain a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in these patients. Treating hematopoietic stem cell transplantation recipients with noninfectious pulmonary complications is still challenging, and the current treatment armamentarium and strategies are not adequate for patients receiving hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Further trials are needed for a better description of the pathogenesis and the complete diagnostic criteria as well as for the development of effective therapeutic approaches for the management of noninfectious pulmonary complications of the hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. This review outlines the incidence, risk factors, pathogenesis, and clinical spectrum and discusses the current approaches to the management of noninfectious pulmonary complications of Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Abstract
Graft-versus-host disease has been reported to occur rarely in syngeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients. Clinical and histological changes consistent with graft-versus-host disease have been reported to occur in this patient population. We report a case of a 46-year-old Caucasian male with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma in complete remission who underwent a syngeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant. He was diagnosed with grade III acute skin and gastrointestinal graft-versus-host disease requiring high-dose corticosteroids and immunosuppressive therapy and resulting in a complete response. Syngeneic graft-versus-host disease is an anomaly that needs to be considered as a differential diagnosis of patients experiencing dermatitis, gastroenteritis, or hepatitis after an identical twin hematopoietic stem cell transplant.

Abstract
The number of patients receiving hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is rapidly rising worldwide. Despite substantial improvements in peri-transplant care, pulmonary complications resulting in respiratory failure remain a major contributor to morbidity and mortality in the post-transplant period, and represent a major barrier to the overall success of HSCT. Infectious complications include pneumonia due to bacteria, viruses, and fungi, and most commonly occur during neutropenia in the early post-transplant period. Non-infectious complications include idiopathic pneumonia syndrome, peri-engraftment respiratory distress syndrome, diffuse alveolar hemorrhage, pulmonary veno-occlusive disease, delayed pulmonary toxicity syndrome, cryptogenic organizing pneumonia, bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome, and post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder. These complications have distinct clinical features and risk factors, occur at differing times following transplant, and contribute to morbidity and mortality.

Abstract
Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is a frequently fatal complication with no standard therapy. Although significant changes in supportive and intensive care measures for patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation have been made over the past decades, the impact of these changes on the incidence and outcome of patients with diffuse alveolar hemorrhage has not been examined. We analyzed 1228 patients who underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation between 2008-2015 at the University of Minnesota to study the incidence, risk factors, and outcomes of diffuse alveolar hemorrhage. Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage developed in 5% of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients, at a median of 30 days (range +3 to +168 days) after transplantation. The incidence of diffuse alveolar hemorrhage was significantly greater in recipients of umbilical cord blood than peripheral blood or bone marrow grafts (HR: 2.08, 95% CI: 1.16-3.74; P=0.01). In multivariate analysis, delayed neutrophil engraftment or primary graft failure was a risk factor for diffuse alveolar hemorrhage following peripheral blood or bone marrow hematopoietic stem cell transplants (HR: 5.51, 95% CI: 1.26-24; P=0.02) and delayed platelet engraftment was associated with significantly increased diffuse alveolar hemorrhage in umbilical cord blood transplant recipients (HR: 6.96, 95% CI: 2.39-20.29; P<0.05). Myeloablative regimens including total body irradiation were also risk factors for diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (HR: 1.8, 95% CI: 1.03-3.13, P=0.05) in both peripheral blood or bone marrow and umbilical cord blood hematopoietic stem cell transplants (HR: 1.87, 95% CI: 0.95-3.71). Patients with diffuse alveolar hemorrhage had an inferior 6-month treatment-related mortality (HR: 6.09, 95% CI: 4.33-8.56, P<0.01) and 2-year overall survival (HR: 4.16, 95% CI: 3.06-5.64; P<0.01) using either graft source. The etiology of diffuse alveolar hemorrhage is multifactorial, involving lung injury influenced by high-dose total body irradiation, graft source, and delayed engraftment or graft failure. The survival of patients with diffuse alveolar hemorrhage after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation remains poor. Clinical interventions or experimental studies (e.g., cell expansion for umbilical cord blood transplants or thrombopoietin use) that modulate these risk factors may limit the incidence and improve the outcomes of diffuse alveolar hemorrhage.

Abstract
Autologous stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) is standard for young patients in MM and its TRM has decreased after the 2000s. Bortezomib and immunomodulatory agents (IMiDs) in MM have improved the outcome. However, they seem to boost pro-inflammatory stage increasing the incidence of engraftment syndrome (ES). Favorable factors in PBSCT such as G-CSF could increase inflammatory stage during transplant. Corticosteroids have shown an excellent response of ES and some authors propose them as prophylaxis for ES. The aim was to analyze the impact of G-CSF avoidance and corticosteroids' prophylaxis in 170 patients diagnosed of MM treated with bortezomib/IMiDs that underwent PBSCT. We established three groups: Group-I [(G-CSF_administration), 60 patients (35%)], group-II [(nonG-CSF), 60 patients (35%)] and group-III [(nonG-CSF plus corticosteroid's prophylaxis), 50 patients (30%)]. A decreased ES incidence among groups was observed: 62, 42, and 22% (P < 0.0001). The incidence of symptoms mimicking a capillary leak syndrome associated with ES dropped: 43, 32, and 0% (P = 0.03). The G-CSF avoidance and corticosteroids had impact over admission 24, 21, and 20 days (P = 0.001). The most important variables related to ES were HCT-CI >2 (p < 0.0001; HR 8.5) and risk groups (p < 0.0001; HR 7.2). Hence, G-CSF avoidance and corticosteroid's prophylaxis decrease morbidity in patients undergoing PBSCT with MM treated with bortezomib/IMiDs.

Abstract
PC are a main cause of death following HSCT in children. We aimed to evaluate early predictors of mortality in paediatric recipients with PCs. A retrospective observational study of 35 patients with 49 episodes of PI on chest radiography (of 124 patients) who had undergone HSCT at a tertiary university hospital between January 2011 and December 2012 was performed. During follow-up (median 26.1 months), 15 episodes led to death (30.6%). An aetiologic diagnosis was made by non-invasive tests in 24 episodes (49.0%) and by adding bronchoalveolar lavage and/or lung biopsy in 7 episodes with diagnostic yield (77.8%, P = .001). Thus, a specific diagnosis was obtained in 63.3% of the episodes. Aetiology identification and treatment modification after diagnosis did not decrease mortality (P = .057, P = .481). However, the number of organ dysfunctions at the beginning of PI was higher in the mortality group, compared to the survivor group (1.7 ± 1.2 vs 0.32 ± 0.59; P = .001). Hepatic dysfunction (OR, 11.145; 95% CI, 1.23 to 101.29; P = .032) and neutropaenia (OR, 10.558; 95% CI, 1.07 to 104.65; P = .044) were independently associated with risk of mortality. Therefore, hepatic dysfunction and neutropaenia are independent early predictors of mortality in HSCT recipients with PCs.

Abstract
Engraftment Syndrome (ES) maybe observed in patients who undergo autologous stem cell transplant (SCT). To investigate clinical criteria for ES diagnosis and analyse the risk factors for this complication, we reviewed all auto-SCT cases (Lymphoma and Myeloma) performed during the past 9 years at two tertiary care centres. We analysed all patients with a non-infectious fever, developed within 7 days of engraftment (first day of ANC of 500 on two consecutive days) in 178 patients undergoing autologous stem cell transplant. A total of 46/178 (25.8%) patients developed non-infectious fever and one or more clinical signs of ES within 7 days of engraftment. In all, 29 (61%) fulfilled the Maiolino and 12 (26%) the Spitzer criteria. The incidence of engraftment syndrome using the Maiolino criteria in our study was 29 (15%), which compares well with Spanish study (13% using same criteria) and the original Maiolino study (20%). All patients with ES satisfactorily recovered and discharged with a median of 20 days from hospital. There was no significant difference in number of days of hospitalisation and days of antibiotics between the ES and non ES arms. All patients recovered without any morbidity and only 1 (2%) patient required readmission for fungal pneumonitis. 8 (17%) patients required ICU admission due to delay in initiation of steroids. None of the factors including number of chemotherapy cycles, conditioning regime, disease status, CD34 collection, growth factors and day of WBC engraftment except female (p = 0.064) were statistically significant (in univariate or multivariate analysis). Our study shows that engraftment syndrome is common in autologous transplant setting. Maiolino criteria to diagnose ES is more sensitive in our setting. If detected and treated early there is not much morbidity or mortality related to ES.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Pulmonary complications are common following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Numerous idiopathic post-transplantation pulmonary syndromes have been described. Patients at the severe end of this spectrum may present with hypoxemic respiratory failure and pulmonary infiltrates, meeting criteria for acute respiratory distress syndrome. The incidence and outcomes of acute respiratory distress syndrome in this setting are poorly characterized. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. SETTING Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN. PATIENTS Patients undergoing autologous and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation between January 1, 2005, and December 31, 2012. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Patients were screened for acute respiratory distress syndrome development within 1 year of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Acute respiratory distress syndrome adjudication was performed in accordance with the 2012 Berlin criteria. In total, 133 cases of acute respiratory distress syndrome developed in 2,635 patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (5.0%). Acute respiratory distress syndrome developed in 75 patients (15.6%) undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and 58 patients (2.7%) undergoing autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Median time to acute respiratory distress syndrome development was 55.4 days (interquartile range, 15.1-139 d) in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and 14.2 days (interquartile range, 10.5-124 d) in autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Twenty-eight-day mortality was 46.6%. At 12 months following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, 89 patients (66.9%) who developed acute respiratory distress syndrome had died. Only 7 of 133 acute respiratory distress syndrome cases met criteria for engraftment syndrome and 15 for diffuse alveolar hemorrhage. CONCLUSIONS Acute respiratory distress syndrome is a frequent complication following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, dramatically influencing patient-important outcomes. Most cases of acute respiratory distress syndrome following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation do not meet criteria for a more specific post-transplantation pulmonary syndrome. These findings highlight the need to better understand the risk factors underlying acute respiratory distress syndrome in this population, thereby facilitating the development of effective prevention strategies.

Abstract
Idiopathic pneumonia syndrome (IPS) is an acute lung dysfunction of non-infectious aetiology and a severe complication following haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Recently, the American Thoracic Society (ATS) updated the concept of IPS and extended the concept to a wider range; it defined IPS as "an idiopathic syndrome of pneumopathy after HSCT, with evidence of widespread alveolar injury and in which infectious aetiologies and cardiac dysfunction, acute renal failure, or iatrogenic fluid overload have been excluded." The ATS also categorised the presumed site of primary tissue injury into three patterns (pulmonary parenchyma, vascular endothelium, and airway epithelium), each of which has several entities. Since the therapeutic strategies for IPS are clearly different from those of infectious diseases, and therapeutic delay causes a poor prognosis, radiologists should be aware of some characteristic HRCT findings of IPS, which includes a wide spectrum of entities. In this article, the characteristic HRCT findings of these entities, including acute interstitial pneumonia/acute respiratory distress syndrome, eosinophilic pneumonia, non-cardiogenic capillary leak syndrome, diffuse alveolar haemorrhage, transfusion-related acute lung injury, organising pneumonia, and bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome, are shown.

Abstract
The term "ES" has been widely used for describing a clinical condition consisting of skin rash, fever, and weight gain that occur during neutrophil recovery period following HSCT. In this study, the incidence, clinical features, risk factors, and outcomes of ES were evaluated in 169 children following allogeneic HSCT from full-matched related donor according to the Spitzer criteria. Seventeen patients (10.1%) presented with clinical conditions suggesting ES. In both univariate and multivariate analysis underlying malignant disease and early release of monocytes to the PB, and in univariate analysis using only CsA for GVHD prophylaxis were found to be the significant risk factors for the development of ES. Patients with ES experienced significantly higher incidence of acute and chronic GVHD and propensity toward a higher rate of TRM. OS did not differ between the patient groups. Thirteen of 17 patients received steroid therapy, and all but one patient responded to therapy. Monitoring for early detection of ES and early intervention with steroid therapy is the key for recovery. The most crucial approach for this purpose mainly is to find out and use the most useful and feasible diagnostic criteria for routine medical practice.

Abstract
GVHD and graft failure are serious problems in CBT. PES after CBT also occurs frequently and is associated with transplantation-related complications such as acute GVHD. We reviewed medical records for 70 consecutive child CBT recipients between December 1997 and April 2015. Forty-nine patients received prophylaxis against GVHD with CsA or Tac in combination with mPSL from day +7 (mPSL group), and 21 patients received CsA or Tac with MTX on day +1 and day +3 (MTX group). Neutrophil engraftment was detected in 59 patients (84.3%). Neutrophil engraftment rate in the MTX group was significantly higher than that in the mPSL group (21/21 (100%) and 38/49 (77.6%), respectively, p = 0.027). PES developed in 35 patients, and the incidence of PES in the mPSL group was significantly higher than that in the MTX group (p = 0.036). The incidence of severe acute GVHD (grade III or IV) in the MTX group was significantly lower than that in the mPSL group (p = 0.049). Although this study was a small-scale study, the results showed that increase in the rate of engraftment and decrease in the incidence of early immune reactions such as PES and severe acute GVHD could be achieved by early commencement of immunosuppression using MTX.

Abstract
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is an increasingly common treatment option for malignant and nonmalignant diseases, but it has significant associated morbidity and mortality. Nurses caring for HSCT recipients must be aware of all potential complications, including engraftment syndrome (ES). Previous nursing literature has included little information on this syndrome, which often presents with noninfectious fever, skin rash, and pulmonary infiltrates, and ES may be fatal if left unidentified and treatment is not initiated promptly. Reports of the risk factors, incidence, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes have much variation, likely from a lack of definite diagnostic criteria and inconsistency in the terminology associated with ES. The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of ES and the implications for nursing practice and research.

Abstract
Engraftment syndrome (ES) encompasses a continuum of periengraftment complications after autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. ES may include noninfectious fever, skin rash, diarrhea, hepatic dysfunction, renal dysfunction, transient encephalopathy, and capillary leak features, such as noncardiogenic pulmonary infiltrates, hypoxia, and weight gain with no alternative etiologic basis other than engraftment. Given its pleiotropic clinical presentation, the transplant field has struggled to clearly define ES and related syndromes. Here, we present a comprehensive review of ES in all documented disease settings. Furthermore, we discuss the proposed risk factors, etiology, and clinical relevance of ES. Finally, our current approach to ES is included along with a proposed treatment algorithm for the management of this complication.

Abstract
Various acute pulmonary complications may occur in patients with hematologic malignancies because they are in an immunocompromised state due to systemic disease or to chemotherapy or hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Pulmonary complications may arise from other treatment regimens, as well, or from direct pulmonary involvement in the malignant disease process. The differential diagnosis of pulmonary opacities in patients with hematologic malignancies is broad and includes both infectious and noninfectious causes. Pulmonary hemorrhage, edema, leukostasis, and pneumonia are well-known and common acute pulmonary complications. Less common complications are now encountered with increasing frequency because of the increasing complexity of therapeutic regimens for hematologic malignancies, which may include various drugs that are in clinical trials or were recently released to market. These once uncommon acute pulmonary complications include retinoic acid syndrome, tyrosine kinase inhibitor-induced pulmonary complications, engraftment syndrome, and hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis. It is often difficult to differentiate between these entities. However, the clinical setting and radiologic imaging findings may provide clues for interpreting imaging findings of abnormal pulmonary opacity in patients with a hematologic malignancy. Pulmonary hemorrhage is characterized by a sudden onset of symptoms and rapid progression of pulmonary imaging abnormalities and usually occurs in patients with impaired coagulation or a predisposition to bleed. Pulmonary edema should be considered when typical findings of hydrostatic pulmonary edema are seen. Pulmonary leukostasis develops in patients with hyperleukocytosis and leads to symptoms such as a cough, fever, and dyspnea. Various types of pneumonia may develop, depending on the degree and duration of immunosuppression in the patient. Retinoic acid syndrome, tyrosine kinase inhibitor-induced pulmonary complications, and engraftment syndrome occur after specific treatments, so a detailed medical history including recent or current treatments may be helpful for diagnosis. Accurate differentiation of these entities allows their appropriate management, with resultant decreases in morbidity and mortality.

Abstract
Immunosuppression predisposes the host to development of pulmonary infections, which can lead to respiratory failure and the development of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). There are multiple mechanisms by which a host can be immunosuppressed and each is associated with specific infectious pathogens. Early invasive diagnostic modalities such as fiber-optic bronchoscopy with bronchoalveolar lavage, transbronchial biopsy, and open lung biopsy are complementary to serologic and noninvasive studies and assist in rapidly establishing an accurate diagnosis, which allows initiation of appropriate therapy and may improve outcomes with relative safety.

Abstract
Engraftment syndrome (ES), characterized by fever, rash, pulmonary edema, weight gain, liver and renal dysfunction, and/or encephalopathy, occurs at the time of neutrophil recovery after hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). In this study, we evaluated the incidence, clinical features, risk factors, and outcomes of ES in children and adults undergoing first-time allogeneic HCT. Among 927 patients, 119 (13%) developed ES at a median of 10 days (interquartile range 9 to 12) after HCT. ES patients experienced significantly higher cumulative incidence of grade 2 to 4 acute GVHD at day 100 (75% versus 34%, P < .001) and higher nonrelapse mortality at 2 years (38% versus 19%, P < .001) compared with non-ES patients, resulting in lower overall survival at 2 years (38% versus 54%, P < .001). There was no significant difference in relapse at 2 years (26% versus 31%, P = .772). Suppression of tumorigenicity 2, interleukin 2 receptor alpha, and tumor necrosis factor receptor 1 plasma biomarker levels were significantly elevated in ES patients. Our results illustrate the clinical significance and prognostic impact of ES on allogeneic HCT outcomes. Despite early recognition of the syndrome and prompt institution of corticosteroid therapy, outcomes in ES patients were uniformly poor. This study suggests the need for a prospective approach of collecting clinical features combined with correlative laboratory analyses to better characterize ES.

Abstract
We performed a retrospective study of the engraftment syndrome (ES) as defined by the Spitzer Criteria in adult patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) for various hematological malignancies at a single institution, over a decade, and analyzed its relationship to acute GVHD; 217 patients underwent either myeloablative (38.7%) or reduced intensity (61.3%) HCT; 22.1% met the criteria for ES. Acute GVHD prophylaxis (P = 0.006) and transplants prior to 2006 (P < 0.0001) were significantly associated with a risk of ES in univariable analysis. Early aGVHD within 4 weeks of engraftment was significantly more common in the ES compared to the non ES cohort (21 vs. 8.3% respectively, P = 0.02). ES did not predict for future GVHD, as at day +180, the cumulative incidences of grades II-IV aGVHD (31 vs. 23%, P = 0.19) and of chronic GVHD at 2 years of engraftment (42 vs. 36%, P = 0.28) were not significantly different between the ES and non ES groups, respectively. No significant differences in NRM, overall survival and progression-free survival were observed between the two groups. Although predictive of early aGVHD, ES occurred independently of GVHD in 79% of the patients. Survival outcomes should be evaluated in a larger randomized study to investigate if there is a correlation with ES.

Abstract
The indications for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) continue to expand. However, the risk for pulmonary complications post-HSCT continues to be high. Early recognition and treatment of pulmonary complications may improve outcomes. This is an overview of diagnosis, manifestations, and treatment of the most common infectious and noninfectious pulmonary complications post-HSCT. Knowing the patient's timeframe post-HSCT (preengraftment, postengraftment, late), type of HSCT (allogeneic vs autologous), radiographic findings, and clinical presentation can help to differentiate between the many pulmonary complications. This article will also address pretransplantation evaluation and infectious and noninfectious complications in the patient post-HSCT. While mortality post-HSCT continues to improve, respiratory failure continues to be the leading cause of ICU admissions for patients who have undergone HSCT. Mechanical ventilation is a predictor of poor outcomes in these patients, and further research is needed regarding their critical care management, treatment options for noninfectious pulmonary complications, and mortality prediction models posttransplantation.
