Abstract
Background Sinusoidal obstruction syndrome is a potentially fatal complication following hematopoietic cell transplantation, high-intensity chemotherapies and increasingly seen with calicheamicin based leukemia therapies. Paediatric specific European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (pEBMT) diagnostic criteria have demonstrated benefit in single center studies compared to historic criteria. Yet, the extent to which they have been universally implemented remains unclear. Methods We conducted a retrospective multi-centre study to examine the potential impact of the Baltimore, modified Seattle and pEBMT criteria on the incidence, severity, and outcomes of sinusoidal obstruction syndrome among paediatric hematopoietic cell transplantation patients. Findings The incidence of sinusoidal obstruction syndrome in this cohort (n = 488) was higher by pEBMT (21.5%) vs historic modified Seattle (15.6%) and Baltimore (7.0%) criteria (p < 0.001). Application of pEBMT criteria identified 44 patients who were not previously diagnosed with sinusoidal obstruction syndrome. Overall, 70.5% of all patients diagnosed with sinusoidal obstruction syndrome ultimately developed very severe disease and almost half of diagnosed patients required critical care support. Overall survival was significantly lower in patients who were diagnosed with sinusoidal obstruction syndrome vs those who were not. Interpretation Taken together, pEBMT criteria may be a sensitive method for prompter diagnosis of patients who subsequently develop severe/very severe sinusoidal obstruction syndrome. To our knowledge, this is the first multi-centre study in the United States (US) to demonstrate that pEBMT guidelines are associated with earlier detection of sinusoidal obstruction syndrome. Since early initiation of definitive treatment for sinusoidal obstruction syndrome has been associated with improved survival in paediatric patients and implementation of pEBMT criteria appears feasible in the US, universal adoption should facilitate prompter diagnosis and lead to improved outcomes of children with sinusoidal obstruction syndrome. Funding None.

Abstract
Sinusoidal obstruction syndrome/veno-occlusive disease (SOS/VOD) is a life-threatening complication of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Early diagnosis of SOS/VOD is associated with improved clinical outcomes. In 2023, the refined European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation diagnostic and severity criteria (refined EBMT criteria 2023) have been advocated. The revision has introduced new diagnostic categories, namely; probable, clinical, and proven SOS/VOD. In addition, the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score has been newly incorporated into the SOS/VOD severity grading. We performed a retrospective analysis to evaluate the utility of these criteria. We analyzed 161 cases who underwent allogeneic HSCT. We identified 53 probable, 23 clinical, and 4 proven SOS/VOD cases. Probable SOS/VOD was diagnosed a median of 5.0 days earlier (interquartile range: 2-13 days, P < 0.001) than that of clinical SOS/VOD. The development of probable SOS/VOD alone was associated with a significantly inferior survival proportion compared to non-SOS/VOD (100-day survival, 86.2% vs. 94.3%, P = 0.012). The SOFA score contributed to the prediction of prognosis. Consequently, the refined EBMT criteria 2023 demonstrated the utility of SOS/VOD diagnosis and severity grading. Further investigations and improvements in these criteria are warranted.

Abstract
PURPOSE We aimed to assess the role of liver stiffness measurement (LSM), evaluated using transient elastography (TE), for the diagnosis of sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS)/veno-occlusive disease (VOD), a complication of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). METHODS In this retrospective study, ultrasonography (US) and LSM were performed on 86 adult patients (55 men and 31 women) undergoing HSCT between January 2016 and December 2022. Characteristics and changes in liver stiffness (LS) were compared between patients with and without SOS/VOD. RESULTS Of the 86 patients, 14 were diagnosed with SOS/VOD. A significant increase in LS (ranging from 12.6 to 55.1 kPa, median 23.8 kPa) compared to pre-HSCT values was observed in all patients who developed SOS/VOD. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) for the diagnosis of SOS/VOD was 0.9663 (0.933-0.995) for LS ≥ 17.4 kPa after HSCT. Post-transplant LS exceeded 17.4 kPa in all 14 patients in the SOS/VOD group (100%) and in seven patients in the non-SOS/VOD group (9.7%). The sensitivity and specificity were 100% and 90.3%, respectively. AUROC for the diagnosis of SOS/VOD was 0.973 (0.943-1.000) for LS increase ≥ + 12.6 kPa from baseline after HSCT. The change of ≥ + 12.6 kPa from baseline was observed in all 14 patients in the SOS/VOD group (100%) and in four patients in the non-SOS/VOD group (5.6%). The sensitivity and specificity were 100% and 94.4%, respectively. CONCLUSION LSM using TE may contribute to establishing the diagnosis of SOS/VOD after HSCT.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Veno-occlusive disease (VOD) is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT). Although increasing awareness and modern transplant techniques have mitigated risk, the interaction of historic risk factors in the current era with posttransplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) is unknown. We performed a retrospective single-center analysis of adult patients aged ≥18 years undergoing allo-SCT (N = 1561) using predominately PTCy as graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis (72%). We found a higher rate of VOD at 16.8% (20 of 119) in those aged ≤25 years compared with 3.8% (55 of 1442) in those aged >25 years, with unique predictors of VOD within each cohort. Multivariate classification and regression tree (CART) analysis confirmed age as the primary independent determinant of the rate of VOD. Among patients aged 18 to 25 years, disease risk index (DRI; 31% with high/very high DRI vs 12% low/intermediate DRI; P = .03) and prior lines of chemotherapy (24% with >1 vs 6% with ≤1; P = .03) were the strongest predictors of VOD. Incidence of VOD in patients aged >25 years of age consistently ranged between 3% and 5% across most risk factors evaluated, with only hepatic factors (baseline elevation of bilirubin, aspartate transferase, alanine aminotransferase) or gemtuzumab exposure associated with increased rates of VOD. There was no significant difference in rates of VOD in those receiving PTCy compared with those receiving alternate GVHD prophylaxis. Our data highlight the differences in incidence and predictors of VOD between younger (≤25) and older (>25) adults undergoing allo-SCT.

Abstract
Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) and sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) are two major vascular disorders of the liver, of which both can cause portal hypertension related complications, but their locations of obstruction are different. BCS refers to the obstruction from the hepatic vein to the junction between the inferior vena cava and right atrium, which is the major etiology of post-sinusoidal portal hypertension; by comparison, SOS is characterized as the obstruction at the level of hepatic sinusoids and terminal venulae, which is a cause of sinusoidal portal hypertension. Both of them can cause hepatic congestion with life-threatening complications, especially acute liver failure and chronic portal hypertension, and share some similar features in terms of imaging and clinical presentations, but they have heterogeneous risk factors, management strategy, and prognosis. Herein, this paper reviews the current evidence and then summarizes the difference between primary BCS and SOS in terms of risk factors, clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment.

Abstract
The current incidence, diagnostic policy, management, and outcome of VOD/SOS at EBMT centers were studied. All centers that had performed allogeneic HSCTs in adult patients within one defined year were invited to the study. Seventy-one centers participated with a total of 2886 allogeneic transplantations and 93 cases of VOD/SOS in 2018. The cumulative incidence of VOD/SOS at day 21 was 1.8% and at day 100 2.4%. Of 67 cases with detailed data, 52 were classical and 15 (22%) late onset (>day 21). According to the EBMT criteria, 65/67 patients had at least two VOD/SOS risk factors. The severity grades were: mild 0, moderate 3, severe 29, very severe 35. Fifty-four patients were treated with defibrotide. VOD/SOS resolved in 58% of the patients, 3/3 with moderate, 22/28 with severe, and 12/33 with very severe grade (p < 0.001). By day 100, 57% of the patients were alive; 3/3 with moderate, 22/29 with severe, and 13/35 with very severe VOD/SOS (p = 0.002). In conclusion, the incidence of VOD/SOS was low. Severe and very severe grades dominated. Very severe grade predicted poor outcome compared to severe grade further supporting the concept of early diagnosis and treatment to avoid a dismal outcome.

Abstract
Interventional endeavours in medicine include prediction of a score that parametrises a new subject's susceptibility to a given disease, at the pre-onset stage. Here, for the first time, we provide reliable learning of such a score in the context of the potentially-terminal disease VOD, that often arises after bone marrow transplants. Indeed, the probability of surviving VOD, is correlated with early intervention. In our work, the VOD-score of each patient in a retrospective cohort, is defined as the distance between the (posterior) probability of a random graph variable-given the inter-variable partial correlation matrix of the time series data on variables that represent different aspects of patient physiology-and that given such time series data of an arbitrarily-selected reference patient. Such time series data is recorded from a pre-transplant to a post-transplant time, for each patient in this cohort, though the data available for distinct patients bear differential temporal coverage, owing to differential patient longevities. Each graph is a Soft Random Geometric Graph drawn in a probabilistic metric space, and the computed inter-graph distance is oblivious to the length of the time series data. The VOD-score learnt in this way, and the corresponding pre-transplant parameter vector of each patient in this retrospective cohort, then results in the training data, using which we learn the function that takes VOD-score as its input, and outputs the vector of pre-transplant parameters. We model this function with a vector-variate Gaussian Process, the covariance structure of which is kernel parametrised. Such modelling is easier than if the score variable were the output. Then for any prospective patient, whose pre-transplant variables are known, we learn the VOD-score (and the hyperparameters of the covariance kernel), using Markov Chain Monte Carlo based inference.

Abstract
Sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) is a fatal complication of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Early diagnosis for SOS can improve clinical outcomes significantly. Here, we performed a retrospective study to investigate the Cairo diagnostic criteria, in which SOS was defined as the development of two or more in seven events, including transfusion-refractory thrombocytopenia. Among 154 cases of allogeneic HSCT, 10 cases of SOS using the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation criteria (EBMT16) as the reference standard were identified. The original Cairo criteria could diagnose SOS 5 days earlier than any other established criteria, with some false-positive results (sensitivity = 100.0%; specificity = 72.2%). When the cutoff was set to three events for the Cairo criteria, the diagnosis of SOS could be made 3 days earlier than that using the EBMT16 criteria, with comparable precision (specificity = 86.1%). The accuracy of the Cairo criteria improved further when the cutoff point was set to four (specificity = 93.8%). The fulfillment of the Cairo criteria was associated with high mortality. Based on our results, the Cairo criteria were also considered clinically useful, especially at three or four cutoff points. Further studies are required to validate and refine the criteria.

Abstract
Introduction A multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) workshop convened by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development in 2015 identified acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and complications of allogeneic blood and marrow transplantation (allo-BMT) as contributors to MODS in pediatric patients. Pulmonary dysfunction also remains a significant complication of allo-BMT. Idiopathic pneumonia syndrome (IPS) defines non-infectious, acute, lung injury that occurs post-transplant. Injury and activation to endothelial cells (ECs) contribute to each form of lung inflammation. Methods Two murine models were employed. In an ARDS model, naïve B6 mice receive an intravenous (i.v.) injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). In the established model of IPS, naïve B6D2F1 mice receive lethal total body irradiation followed by BMT from either allogeneic (B6) or syngeneic (B6D2F1) donors. Lung inflammation was subsequently assessed in each scenario. Results Intravenous injection of LPS to B6 mice resulted in enhanced mRNA expression of TNFα, IL-6, Ang-2, E-, and P-selectin in whole lung homogenates. The expression of Ang-2 in this context is regulated in part by TNFα. Additionally, EC activation was associated with increased total protein and cellularity in broncho-alveolar lavage fluid (BALF). Similar findings were noted during the development of experimental IPS. We hypothesized that interventions maintaining EC integrity would reduce the severity of ARDS and IPS. Defibrotide (DF) is FDA approved for the treatment of BMT patients with sinusoidal obstruction syndrome and renal or pulmonary dysfunction. DF stabilizes activated ECs and protect them from further injury. Intravenous administration of DF before and after LPS injection significantly reduced mRNA expression of TNFα, IL6, Ang-2, E-, and P-selectin compared to controls. BALF showed decreased cellularity, reflecting less EC damage and leak. Allogeneic BMT mice were treated from day -1 through day 14 with DF intraperitoneally, and lungs were harvested at 3 weeks. Compared to controls, DF treatment reduced mRNA expression of TNFα, IL6, Ang-2, E-, and P- selectin, BALF cellularity, and lung histopathology. Conclusion The administration of DF modulates EC injury in models of ARDS and IPS. Cytokine inhibition in combination with agents that stabilize EC integrity may be an attractive strategy for patients in each setting.

Abstract
Hepatic veno-occlusive disease/sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (VOD/SOS) is a potentially life-threatening complication of hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). This study aimed to determine a blood biomarker signature early post-HCT that identifies patients at high risk for VOD/SOS. A set of 23 plasma biomarkers, selected from the VOD/SOS literature, was measured on days 0, 7, and 14 after myeloablative HCT using blood samples from patients enrolled in the Blood and Marrow Transplant Clinical Trials Network (BMT CTN) Protocol 1202. Eligible cases were diagnosed with VOD/SOS in BMT CTN 1202 using the Baltimore criteria. Controls (without VOD/SOS) were matched to cases for conditioning regimen and age. Significant biomarkers were identified using the Bonferroni-adjusted Wilcoxon rank-sum test (P ≤ .002). Thirty-three patients with mild or severe VOD/SOS were identified (cases) and matched to 107 controls. Two, 8, and 5 biomarkers measured from the plasma of these patients were significantly associated with the development of VOD/SOS at days 0, 7, and 14, respectively, with the strongest associations on days 7 and 14. Biomarker associations were stronger for severe VOD/SOS risk and were stronger prognostic markers for VOD/SOS cases occurring within 28 days of HCT. Hyaluronan was most strongly associated with VOD/SOS risk, with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of .81 on day 7 and .79 on day 14. Multivariate models of up to 5 biomarkers generated AUCs ranging from .82 to .85. All associations with VOD/SOS risk were independent of clinical risk factors. This study confirms previously identified biomarkers of VOD/SOS risk and identified novel prognostic biomarker signatures that identify patients at risk for VOD/SOS shortly after HCT. Multivariate analysis suggests that a combination of up to 5 of these protein biomarkers may provide a prognostic tool for identifying patients at risk for VOD/SOS.

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
Defibrotide (DF) is indicated for the treatment of severe sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), but its prophylactic use against SOS is not recommended yet. This study describes the impact of the preventive and curative use of DF on reducing the incidence and severity of SOS in children. Patients aged 0-19 years, who received allogenic HSCT after myeloablative conditioning regimen with busulfan or total body irradiation in our comprehensive cancer center, between 2013 and 2017, were included. The Baltimore or modified Seattle criteria were used for SOS diagnosis. SOS was graded using the 2017 European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation classification defining severity criteria of SOS in children. SOS occurrence tended to decrease with prophylactic DF, but no significant difference was observed in terms of severity. When not treated with preventive DF, 50% (19/38) of the patients with SOS were graded severe to very severe, but only 37% (7/19) had organ dysfunction. Curative DF was administered at a median of 2 days post-HSCT, for a median of 6.5 days. The absence of fatal SOS supports the use of early curative DF with acceptable toxicities and questions the optimal duration of DF treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Sinusoidal obstruction syndrome/venoocclusive disease is a significant complication of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Due to high mortality rates, new treatment strategies have been investigated. Here, we have presented outcomes of therapeutic plasma exchange performed on patients with sinusoidal obstruction syndrome/veno-occlusive disease. MATERIAL AND METHODS Our study included 70 pediatric patients diagnosed with sinusoidal obstruction syndrome/veno-occlusive disease. Therapeutic plasma exchange procedures in patients were evaluated retrospectively. RESULTS There were 9 mild (12.9%), 9 moderate (12.9%), 21 severe (30%), and 31 very severe (44.2%) cases of sinusoidal obstruction syndrome/venoocclusive disease. Therapeutic plasma exchange was performed in 31 of the 70 study patients (59.6%). Moreover, 10/21 patients with severe (47.6%) and 21/31 patients with very severe (67.7%) disease underwent plasma exchange. Mean time from diagnosis of sinusoidal obstruction syndrome/venoocclusive disease to therapeutic plasma exchange initiation was 2.3 days. The 31 patients who received therapeutic plasma exchange had a total of 146 sessions. Overall survival rates at 100 days were 87.1% and 92.3% for patients who did and did not undergo therapeutic plasma exchange, respectively. When patients with mild and moderate disease who were not expected to undergo plasma exchange were excluded (n = 52), 100-day overall survival rates were 87.1% and 90.5% for those who did and did not undergo plasma exchange, respectively. When we compared severe versus very severe groups, no significant difference was found. CONCLUSIONS Plasmapheresis had no positive effect on survival. However, overall survival in all groups was higher than that in the literature, despite the high number of patients with severe and very severe disease. Interpretation of the results is limited by the retrospective nature of the study. Thus, prospective, randomized controlled trials with larger numbers of patients are necessary to investigate the role of therapeutic plasma exchange in patients with sinusoidal obstruction syndrome/veno-occlusive disease.

Abstract
Inotuzumab ozogamicin (INO) showed improved treatment outcomes for relapsed or refractory B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL) but can induce hepatotoxic adverse events. Hepatic venoocclusive disease/sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (VOD/SOS) frequently develops after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT), and INO is a strong pretransplant risk factor. However, VOD/SOS can occur just after INO therapy. Here, we describe a BCP-ALL patient treated with INO for isolated extramedullary relapse after allo-HCT. The patient experienced elevated liver enzymes with ascites at 21 days from the last INO dose. Although she met the criteria for VOD/SOS, the diagnosis was challenging because of her ongoing hepatic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and normal portal vein flow on Doppler sonogram. The radiologist suggested liver cirrhosis based on computed tomography, with VOD/SOS, liver cirrhosis, and GVHD assumed to be differential diagnoses. She received supportive care with GVHD management; however, due to progressive hepatic failure, we conducted emergent deceased-donor liver transplantation, and the pathologic findings indicated VOD/SOS. Her leukemia was stable, but she died of sepsis after 3 months. INO use is a high-risk factor for VOD/SOS, but an accurate diagnosis can be challenging due to various hepatic complications. Early diagnosis and proper management for VOD/SOS is important for improved outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Veno-occlusive disease/sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (VOD/SOS) is one of the most fatal complications of hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT), and defibrotide is the only curative drug. We conducted this study to confirm the survival rate of VOD/SOS patients diagnosed in Korea and assess the efficacy of defibrotide. METHODS Patients diagnosed with VOD/SOS after allogenic HCT between 2003 and 2020 were enrolled. We investigated day +100 survival rates and associated risk factors in patients who satisfied the modified Seattle criteria within 50 days of HCT. RESULTS A total of 110 patients satisfied the modified Seattle criteria, of which 65.5% satisfied the Baltimore criteria. Thirty-seven patients were treated with defibrotide. The day +100 survival rate of the 110 patients was 65.3%. The survival rates in patients who did not meet the Baltimore criteria and in those who did were 86.8% and 53.7%, respectively (p = 0.001). The day +100 survival rate of patients treated with defibrotide was 50.5%. Among the patients receiving defibrotide, those whose creatinine levels were more than 1.2 times the baseline had a significantly lower survival rate at 26.7% (p = 0.014). On multivariate regression analysis, the hazard ratio of satisfaction of the Baltimore criteria was 4.54 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.69 to 12.21; p = 0.003). In patients treated with defibrotide, the hazard ratio was 8.70 (95% CI, 2.26 to 33.45; p = 0.002), when creatinine was more than 1.2 times the baseline on administration. CONCLUSION The day +100 survival rate was significantly lower when the Baltimore criteria were satisfied, and when there was an increase in creatinine at the time of defibrotide administration.

Abstract
Hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome/veno-occlusive disease (SOS/VOD) is a rare but severe complication of hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) showing high mortality. Multiple risk factors for SOS/VOD were identified, but it is often confused with other hepatic complications due to nonspecific clinical features. Therefore, diagnostic and severity criteria have been revised several times. The European Society of Blood and Marrow Transplantation suggested a new guideline that excludes the standard duration of development within 21 days, emphasizes late-onset SOS/VOD, and suggests the importance of Doppler ultrasonography. The severity criteria were further subdivided for guidance to begin active treatment using defibrotide which was approved in Korea since 2016. In a phase 3 trial, defibrotide had superior 100-day survival, compared to best available treatments (38.2% vs. 25.0%). Although several studies of SOS/VOD in Korean patients have been performed after the implementation of HCT, most involved small number of pediatric patients. Recently, the Korean Society of Blood and Marrow Transplantation investigated the incidence of SOS/VOD in the Korean population, and several influential studies of adult patients were published. Here, we summarize recent issues regarding the mechanism, diagnosis, severity criteria, prevention, and treatments of SOS/VOD in Korean patients, as well as recent analyses of nationwide incidence.

Abstract
Hepatic veno-occlusive disease or sinusoidal obstructive syndrome (VOD/ SOS) is a life-threatening complication of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Defibrotide is the only FDA-approved medication for the management of severe VOD/ SOS after HSCT. We report our center's experience with commercially available defibrotide as treatment for patients with VOD/SOS. We retrospectively identified 28 cases of VOD/ SOS, based on the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation criteria, from March 2016 through June 2019. The median day of VOD/ SOS onset was 25 days (range, 8 to 69) and defibrotide was initiated on day of diagnosis in 71% of patients. Complete resolution of VOD/ SOS occurred in 75% of patients. Day +100 survival was 64% for all HSCT patients and 53% for those with very severe VOD/ SOS. Response rates and survival were similar in patients with VOD/SOS after myeloablative or reduced intensity chemotherapy HSCT. Therapy related adverse events were mild and included hematuria (43%), epistaxis (18%) and hypotension (11%). Severe hemorrhagic adverse events occurred in 2 patients (pulmonary and upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage; 7%) and both in the setting of progressive VOD/SOS. Early diagnosis, prompt initiation of defibrotide, and minimizing dosing interruptions may be key to successful treatment of VOD/ SOS.

Abstract
Hepatic veno-occlusive disease or sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (VOD/SOS) is a potentially life-threatening complication of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). In the present prospective study, we aimed to investigate the incidence, management, and outcome of VOD/SOS in patients with thalassemia major (TM) who received allo-HSCT. VOD/SOS was diagnosed and classified based on the modified Seattle criteria. The prophylactic regimen for VOD/SOS was a combination treatment of dalteparin and lipo-PGE1. VOD/SOS was managed through an approach consisting of adequate supportive measures, short-term withdrawal of calcineurin inhibitors (CNIs), and the use of methylprednisolone and basiliximab for graft-versus-host disease prophylaxis. VOD/SOS was found in 54 of 521 patients (10.4%) at a median time of 12 days after allo-HSCT. The cumulative incidence of all-grade and moderate VOD/SOS was 10.4% and 4.2%, respectively. Among the 54 VOD/SOS patients, no patient developed severe grade and died from VOD/SOS. Besides, the cumulative incidence of transplant-related mortality on day 100 for patients with or without VOD/SOS was 0% vs. 4.0% (P = 0.187), respectively, and the 3-year overall survival rates were 94.3% vs. 93.2% (P = 0.707), respectively. Collectively, we concluded that appropriate symptomatic therapy and short-term withdrawal of CNIs safely mitigated the mortality of VOD/SOS in TM patients who underwent allo-HSCT.

Abstract
No biomarker panel has been established for prediction of sinusoidal obstruction syndrome/veno-occlusive disease (SOS/VOD), a major complication of allogeneic stem cell transplantation (alloSCT). We compared the potential of the Endothelial Activation and Stress Index (EASIX), based on lactate dehydrogenase, creatinine, and thrombocytes, with that of the SOS/VOD clinical risk score of the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research (CIBMTR) to predict SOS/VOD in two independent cohorts. In a third cohort, we studied the impact of endothelium-active prophylaxis with pravastatin and ursodeoxycholic acid (UDA) on SOS/VOD risk. The cumulative incidence of SOS/VOD within 28 days after alloSCT in the training cohort (Berlin, 2013-2015, n=446) and in the validation cohort (Heidelberg, 2002-2009, n=380) was 9.6% and 8.4%, respectively. In both cohorts, EASIX assessed at the day of alloSCT (EASIX-d0) was significantly associated with SOS/VOD incidence (P<0.0001), overall survival (OS), and non-relapse mortality (NRM). In contrast, the CIBMTR score showed no statistically significant association with SOS/VOD incidence, and did not predict OS and NRM. In patients receiving pravastatin/UDA, the cumulative incidence of SOS/VOD was significantly lower at 1.7% (Heidelberg, 2010-2015, n=359, P<0.0001) than in the two cohorts not receiving pravastatin/UDA. The protective effect was most pronounced in patients with high EASIX-d0. The cumulative SOS/VOD incidence in the highest EASIX-d0 quartiles were 18.1% and 16.8% in both cohorts without endothelial prophylaxis as compared to 2.2% in patients with pravastatin/UDA prophylaxis (P<0.0001). EASIX-d0 is the first validated biomarker for defining a subpopulation of alloSCT recipients at high risk for SOS/VOD. Statin/UDA endothelial prophylaxis could constitute a prophylactic measure for patients at increased SOS/VOD risk.

Abstract
We attempted to identify the incidence and survival outcome of hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome/veno-occlusive disease (VOD/SOS) after hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) under strategy of prophylactic ursodiol and intravenous heparin or prostaglandin E1 (PGE1). From 2009 to 2018, 2572 consecutive allogeneic-HCT cases were reviewed. We used oral ursodiol for all transplants, and most were administered low-dose heparin, while PGE1 in selected cases with low platelet count at the time of preconditioning. Diagnosis and severity grades were reassessed by revised EBMT criteria. The overall incidence of hepatic VOD/SOS was 3.4% (Mild 0.9%, Moderate 0.6%, Severe 0.7%, Very severe 1.2%) after allogeneic-HCT under strategy of intravenous prophylaxis. The 1-year overall survival of VOD/SOS was 41.4% which was divided into 73.9% for mild, 66.7% for moderate, 38.9% for severe, and 6.5% for very severe grade. Very high disease risk index, male gender, donor other than matched sibling donor, and busulfex > 9 mg/kg were affecting factors for development of VOD/SOS. For severe to very severe VOD/SOS, history of pre-HCT liver dysfunction was an additionally affecting factor. Allogeneic-HCT using ursodiol and intravenous prophylaxis was considered safe without significant bleeding complications and should be evaluated in future clinical trials. For those with high-risk of VOD/SOS, early intervention and management is important.

Abstract
Sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) is a life-threatening liver complication of high- dose chemotherapy. Defibrotide is the only available therapeutic option approved for SOS. The prognosis of SOS in patients requiring intensive care unit (ICU) admission remains unknown. The primary objective of this study was to assess the outcome of SOS patients in ICU. This retrospective study was conducted between 2007 and 2019 in 13 French ICUs. Seventy-one critically ill adult patients with SOS defined according to European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation criteria and treated with defibrotide were included. The main reasons for ICU admission were respiratory failure and acute kidney injury. Mechanical ventilation, vasopressors, and renal replacement therapy were required in 59%, 52%, and 49% of patients, respectively. Twenty-three percent of patients experienced a bleeding event during defibrotide treatment. Hospital mortality was 54%, mainly related to multiorgan failure. Older age (hazard ratio [HR], 1.02; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.00 to 1.04), mechanical ventilation (HR, 1.99; 95% CI, 1.00 to 3.99), renal replacement therapy (HR, 2.55; 95% CI, 1.32 to 4.91) were independent predictors of hospital mortality. Defibrotide prophylaxis (HR, 0.35; 95% CI, 0.13 to 0.92) was associated with better outcomes. Critically ill patients with SOS have a high mortality rate in the ICU, especially if organ support is required. Additional studies assessing the impact of defibrotide prophylaxis are warranted.

Abstract
Defibrotide (DFB) effects on different endothelial cell pathways have been investigated focusing on a limited number of genes or molecules. This study explored the modulation of the gene expression profile of steady-state or lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated endothelial cells, following the DFB exposure. Starting from differentially regulated gene expression datasets, we utilized the Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) to infer novel information about the activity of this drug. We found that effects elicited by LPS deeply differ depending on cells were exposed to DFB and LPS at the same time, or if the DFB priming occurs before the LPS exposure. Only in the second case, we observed a significant down-regulation of various pathways activated by LPS. In IPA, the pathways most affected by DFB were leukocyte migration and activation, vasculogenesis, and inflammatory response. Furthermore, the activity of DFB seemed to be associated with the modulation of six key genes, including matrix-metalloproteinases 2 and 9, thrombin receptor, sphingosine-kinase1, alpha subunit of collagen XVIII, and endothelial-protein C receptor. Overall, our findings support a role for DFB in a wide range of diseases associated with an exaggerated inflammatory response of endothelial cells.

Abstract
Sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) is a potentially fatal complication of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) initiated through damage of sinusoidal endothelium and inflammation. Insulin-like growth factor-l (IGF-l) maintains and repairs endothelium and intestinal mucosa. We hypothesized that low IGF-l levels may increase the risk of inflammatory complications, such as SOS, in HSCT-patients. We prospectively measured IGF-l concentrations in 121 pediatric patients before, during, and after allogeneic HSCT. Overall, IGF-l levels were significantly reduced compared with healthy sex- and age-matched children. IGF-I levels pre-HSCT and at day 0 were inversely associated with C-reactive protein levels, hyperbilirubinemia, and number of platelet transfusions within the first 21 days post-transplant. Low levels of IGF-I before conditioning and at day of transplant were associated with increased risk of SOS diagnosed by the modified Seattle criteria (pre-HSCT: OR = 1.7 (95% CI: 1.2-2.6, p = 0.01), and the pediatric EBMT criteria (pre-HSCT: 1.7 (1.2-2.5, p = 0.009) and day 0: 1.7 (1.3-2.5, p = 0.001)/SDS decrease in IGF-1). These data suggest that IGF-I is protective against cytotoxic damage and SOS, most likely through trophic effects on endothelial cells and anti-inflammatory properties, and may prove useful as a predictive biomarker of SOS.

Abstract
Hepatic veno-occlusive disease or sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (VOD/SOS) is a threatening complication after both autologous and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), with high mortality rates despite early medical treatment, including the use of defibrotide (DF). We retrospectively analyzed 185 unmanipulated haploidentical (haplo-) HSCT with post-transplantation cyclophosphamide as graft-versus-host disease prophylaxis performed consecutively between 2011 and June 2019 in a single center. Seventeen patients (9.2%) were diagnosed with VOD/SOS. Based on revised European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation severity criteria, the VOD/SOS cases were classified as mild in 2 patients (11.7%), moderate in 2 (11.7%), severe in 2 (11.7%), and very severe in 11 (64.9%). Thirteen patients (76%) were treated with DF, including all patients with severe or very severe VOD/SOS, except 1 patient with CNS hemorrhage. Sixteen patients (94%) were alive at day +100 after HSCT. Seven patients (41%) with very severe VOD/SOS were treated with transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) owing to rapid clinical or analytical deterioration or refractory hepatorenal syndrome despite medical treatment, including DF. TIPS insertion was performed at a median time since VOD/SOS diagnosis of 4 days (range, 1 to 28 days) without technical complications in any case. The median hepatic venous pressure gradient before and after TIPS treatment was 24 mmHg (range, 14 to 29 mmHg) and 7 mmHg (range, 2 to 11 mmHg), respectively, with a median drop of 16 mmHg (range, 9 to 19 mmHg). Following TIPS insertion, all patients showed clinical improvement with hepatomegaly, ascites, and renal failure resolution, and all showed analytical improvement with reduced alanine aminotransferase (ALT), creatinine, and international normalized ratio values, except for patient 2, whose indication for TIPS was refractory hepatorenal syndrome with a normal ALT level. The 6 patients who had initiated DF before TIPS insertion completed 21 days of treatment. All patients met the criteria for complete remission (CR) at a median of 8 days after TIPS insertion (range, 2 to 82 days). The 100-day overall survival was 100%. For patients with rapid progressive VOD/SOS, early TIPS insertion allowed completion of DF therapy. The use of TIPS together with DF resulted in CR and no associated complications with no VOD/SOS-associated mortality despite high severity. In our experience, timely and individualized use of TIPS significantly improves outcomes of very severe VOD/SOS after haplo-HSCT. Therefore, TIPS should be promptly considered in rapidly progressive cases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) is a serious complication of autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) in children with historically high mortality rates. Defibrotide has shown proven benefit in its treatment and may have a modest role in prevention. We report our experience with SOS in children undergoing autologous transplant. METHODS Case records of 82 consecutive patients undergoing ASCT following high-dose chemotherapy between 2010 and 2017 were reviewed. Defibrotide was used for treatment of all with SOS and prophylactically in patients receiving busulfan-based conditioning until 2014. RESULTS Fourteen of the 82 children (17%) were diagnosed with SOS. The incidence was higher in those receiving busulfan-based conditioning (13/42 vs 1/40, P = 0.008). Mean (±SD) time to diagnosis of SOS was 19 (±5.6) days following stem cell rescue. Bilirubin levels and ultrasound were normal in 7/14 and 3/14 patients. Coagulopathy was noted in 10/14; one child developed multiorgan involvement. Nine children had mild SOS, whereas two and three had moderate and severe SOS, respectively. Intensive care was required for four of five non-mild cases. Patients with SOS had significantly delayed platelet recovery, higher transfusion requirement, and longer hospital stay. Unavailability of defibrotide prophylaxis for 17/42 receiving busulfan did not change the incidence of SOS (7/25 with defibrotide vs 6 /17 without defibrotide, P = 0.74). There was no significant difference in the severity of SOS between these groups. CONCLUSION Hepatic SOS was more commonly seen in children receiving busulfan-based conditioning. Stopping the use of prophylactic defibrotide did not increase incidence or severity of SOS. Overall outcome was excellent with supportive care and timely treatment with defibrotide.

Abstract
Sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS), previously known as veno-occlusive disease, is characterized by concentric and non-thrombotic obstruction of the sinusoid and central vein lumen with no identified primitive or thrombotic hepatic vein lesions. The initial lesion is a result of endothelial denudation, corresponding to the migration of damaged sinusoidal cells to the central veins of the hepatic lobules, leading to sinusoidal and veno-occlusive congestive obstruction. SOS may be associated with other lesions such as centrilobular perisinusoidal fibrosis, peliosis, or nodular regenerative hyperplasia. The first cases of SOS were documented in 1920 in South Africa, after ingestion of food sources contaminated by pyrrolizidine alkaloids. SOS is a well-known complication of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Numerous toxins and drugs have been associated with SOS, mainly chemotherapies and immunosuppressive therapies, as well as total body or liver irradiation and ABO mismatch platelet transfusion. The pathogenesis of this entity remains unknown.

Abstract
Noninvasive diagnostics for portal hypertension include imaging and functional tests, as well as blood-based biomarkers, and capture different features of the portal hypertensive syndrome. Definitive conclusions regarding their clinical utility require assessment of their diagnostic value in specific clinical settings (i.e., diagnosing a particular hemodynamic condition within a well-defined target population). Several noninvasive methods are predictive of clinically significant portal hypertension (CSPH; hepatic venous pressure gradient [HVPG] ≥ 10 mm Hg; the threshold for complications of portal hypertension); however, only a minority of them have been evaluated in compensated advanced chronic liver disease (i.e., the target population). Importantly, most methods correlate only weakly with HVPG at high values (i.e., in patients with CSPH). Nevertheless, selected methods show promise for diagnosing HVPG ≥ 16 mm Hg (the cut-off for increased risks of hepatic decompensation and mortality) and monitoring HVPG changes in response to nonselective beta-blockers or etiological treatments. Finally, we review established and potential future clinical applications of noninvasive methods.

Abstract
New diagnostic criteria and severity grading for sinusoidal obstructive syndrome (SOS) among pediatric and adolescent young adult (AYA) patients have been recently endorsed by international consensus. The extent to which these have been adopted in the US remains unclear. We sought to assess the potential impact via retrospective application of these criteria among patients treated at a large academic center in the United States. This is a single center retrospective study of pediatric-AYA patients who underwent hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) between July 2009 and 2019. The incidence of SOS was assessed using historic Baltimore and Seattle diagnostic criteria and compared with more recent guidelines (pEBMT) as proposed by the Paediatric Diseases Working Party of the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation. Among 226 patients, application of the pEBMT diagnostic criteria was associated with a higher incidence (15.9%) and earlier time to diagnosis of SOS (by 2.5-3 days) compared with the modified Seattle (12.3%), and Baltimore (6.6%) criteria, respectively. The pEBMT criteria were sensitive and highly specific. Refractory thrombocytopenia was present in 75% of patients at diagnosis. Approximately 61% of patients with SOS were anicteric at diagnosis, though the majority (94.4%) developed hyperbilirubinemia as SOS progressed over a median time of 4 (1-57) days. Application of pEBMT criteria may have resulted in earlier indication for definitive treatment by 3 days. Timely diagnosis and administration of definitive treatment of SOS has been associated with improved outcomes. Prospective studies may better characterize the risk factors and natural course of SOS using pEBMT criteria.

Abstract
With rapid progress in cancer diagnosis and treatment in the last two decades, outcomes in oncological patients have improved significantly. However, the incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) in this population has also increased significantly. AKI complicates many aspects of patients' care and adversely affects their prognoses; thus, accurately diagnosing the risk factors for AKI ensures appropriate management. AKI may be caused by pre-renal, intrinsic renal, and post-renal reasons, as well as for combined reasons. This review summarizes the potential etiologies of AKI according to the three classifications. For each underlying cause of AKI, the cancer itself and/or cancer treatment may contribute to a patient developing AKI. Therefore, we present disease- and treatment-related factors for each cause category, with special focus on immune checkpoint inhibitors, which are being used increasingly more often. It is important for nephrology services to be knowledgeable to provide the best level of care.

Abstract
Hepatic veno-occlusive disease (VOD) is a potentially fatal complication following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). We evaluated in prospective analysis the usefulness of the pediatric EBMT criteria for VOD diagnosis and their presumable impact on cost effectiveness and patients' outcome. Study included all 282 HSCT procedures performed in Department of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology and BMT in Wrocław between January 2016 and March 2019. Data were compared with previous VOD research conducted in our center before year 2016. Twenty-five (8.9%) patients (median age 3.5 years) were diagnosed with VOD. Duration of defibrotide (DF) administration varied from 4 to 34 days (median: 16.5), with 96% response rate. Overall survival was 88%. If applying Baltimore and modified Seattle criteria, VOD incidence was 2.13% and 5.7%, respectively. Median diagnosis delay based on modified Seattle criteria was 3 days. Before 2016, VOD incidence was 4.9%, with 74% DF response rate (p = 0.033) and 56.2% OS (p = 0.008). After implementing new criteria length of hospitalization for VOD patients decreased by median of 12 days (p = 0.009). Earlier VOD diagnosis, facilitated by EBMT criteria, resulting in implementing immediate treatment significantly improved patients' outcome. Furthermore, it allows shortening of DF administration and minimizes length of hospital stay.

Abstract
Sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS), previously known as hepatic veno-occlusive disease (VOD), remains a multi-organ system complication following haematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). When SOS/VOD is accompanied by multi-organ dysfunction, overall mortality rates remain >80%. However, the definitions related to the diagnosis and grading of SOS/VOD after HCT are almost 25 years old and require new and contemporary modifications. Importantly, the pathophysiology of SOS/VOD, including the contribution of dysregulated inflammatory and coagulation cascades as well as the critical importance of liver and vascular derived endothelial dysfunction, have been elucidated. Here we summarise new information on pathogenesis of SOS/VOD; identify modifiable and unmodifiable risk factors for disease development; propose novel, contemporary and panel opinion-based diagnostic criteria and an innovative organ-based method of SOS/VOD grading classification; and review current approaches for prophylaxis and treatment of SOS/VOD. This review will hopefully illuminate pathways responsible for drug-induced liver injury and manifestations of disease, sharpen awareness of risk for disease development and enhance the timely and correct diagnosis of SOS/VOD post-HCT.

Abstract
Sinusoidal obstructive syndrome, also known as hepatic veno-occlusive disease, is a potentially life-threatening complication that occurs in children undergoing haemopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HSCT). Differences in the incidence of genetic predisposition and clinical presentation of sinusoidal obstructive syndrome between children and adults have rendered the historical Baltimore and Seattle diagnostic criteria insufficient for children. In 2017, the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) proposed the first paediatric diagnostic and severity grading guidelines for sinusoidal obstructive syndrome, intended for implementation across European centres. However, universally accepted paediatric criteria are needed to ensure prompt diagnosis, definitive treatment, and improved outcomes for children, adolescents, and young adults with sinusoidal obstructive syndrome, and to facilitate international clinical research collaboration. We convened an international panel of multidisciplinary experts including physicians with expertise in HSCT, paediatric intensive care, nephrology, hepatology, radiology, pathology, and transfusion medicine; HSCT advanced-practice providers and medical trainees; pharmacists; and translational and basic science researchers from the Pediatric Acute Lung Injury and Sepsis Investigators Network, the EBMT, the Pediatric Blood and Marrow Transplant Consortia, and several other institutions with extensive experience in sinusoidal obstructive syndrome. Panellists convened at The University of Texas, MD Anderson Cancer Center (Houston, TX, USA) in February, 2019, to evaluate the available evidence. In this expert position statement paper, we provide consensus recommendations for the international implementation of guidelines for the diagnosis, severity grading, and treatment of sinusoidal obstructive syndrome among children, adolescents, and young adults. We endorse universal adoption of paediatric diagnostic guidelines for sinusoidal obstruction syndrome as proposed by the EBMT, and provide implementation guidance for standardisation across centres; we have further proposed adjunctive use of age-appropriate organ-specific toxicity criteria for severity grading and provided prophylaxis and treatment considerations among children and adolescent and young adult patients. Key recommendations include: (1) liver biopsy, portal venous wedge pressure, and reversal of portal venous flow on Doppler ultrasonography should not be used for the routine diagnosis of sinusoidal obstructive syndrome in children, adolescents, and young adults; (2) platelet refractoriness can be defined as a corrected count increment of less than 5000-7500 following at least two sequential ABO-compatible fresh platelet transfusions; (3) hepatomegaly is best defined as an absolute increase of at least 1 cm in liver length at the midclavicular line; and if a baseline measurement is not available, hepatomegaly can be defined as greater than 2 SDs above normal for age; and (4) the presence and volume of ascites can be categorised as mild (minimal fluid by liver, spleen, or pelvis), moderate (<1 cm fluid), or severe (fluid in all three regions with >1 cm fluid in at least two regions).

Abstract
Hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) is a life-threatening state generally occurring as a complication of conditioning regimens used for hematopoietic stem cell transplant. Hepatic SOS after a standard dose of chemotherapy in malignancies is rare, and there are only a few cases in pediatric literature. We report a 56-year-old man with multiple myeloma who experienced SOS after being initiated on chemotherapy including cyclophosphamide, dexamethasone, and bortezomib and who experienced a delay in treatment with defibrotide, because it is currently approved by the Food and Drug Administration for only patients who develop SOS after hematopoietic stem cell transplant.

Abstract
Sinusoidal obstruction syndrome, also known as veno-occlusive disease (SOS/VOD), is a potentially life-threatening complication that can develop after hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). While SOS/VOD may resolve within a few weeks in the majority of patients with mild-to-moderate disease, the most severe forms result in multiorgan dysfunction and are associated with a high mortality rate (>80%). Therefore, careful surveillance may allow early detection of SOS/VOD, particularly as the licensed available drug is proven to be effective and reduce mortality. The aim of this work is to propose an international consensus guideline for the treatment and prevention of SOS/VOD in adult patients, on behalf of an international expert group.

Abstract
Veno-occlusive-disease (VOD), known also as sinusoidal-obstruction-syndrome (SOS), is one of the main complications of haematopoietic stem cell transplantation and is related to the treatment with pyrrolizidine alkaloids or other toxic agents (chemotherapy for liver-metastasis). Clinical diagnosis using the recent criteria from the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation, is the reference for VOD/SOS diagnosis. However, increasing evidence suggests the emerging role of several imaging methods that could help the clinician in VOD/SOS assessment. Areas covered: This review evaluates the current literature on the various imaging techniques used in VOD/SOS diagnosis in several clinical scenarios. Literature searches were performed using several keywords on MEDLINE/Ovid/In-Process/Cochrane Library/EMBASE and PubMed up to July 2018. Expert commentary: Hepatic-gradient-measurement (HVPG) and contextual transjugular-liver-biopsy are invasive and should always be considered in unclear cases. The main studies revolve around ultrasound with Doppler evaluation, identifying numerous findings suggestive of VOD/SOS. However, their accuracy and validation are still suboptimal and controversial. CT-Scan and MRI have shown encouraging data in other contexts in which VOD/SOS can develop, but studies on the post-HSCT patient are lacking. Elastography techniques measuring liver stiffness (LSM) represent the most recent and promising approach for an accurate and early diagnosis of VOD/SOS. In our view, a multidisciplinary approach to the VOD/SOS diagnosis should be highly encouraged.

Abstract
Hepatic veno-occlusive disease/sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (VOD/SOS) is a potentially life-threatening complication of conditioning during hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) or chemotherapy without HSCT, with a historically reported mean incidence of 13.7% post-HSCT. Typical symptoms of VOD/SOS may include hyperbilirubinemia, painful hepatomegaly, weight gain, and ascites. Defibrotide, a polydisperse mixture of predominantly single-stranded polydeoxyribonucleotides, is currently the only therapy approved to treat hepatic VOD/SOS with pulmonary/renal dysfunction (ie, multiorgan dysfunction/multiorgan failure [MOD/MOF]) following HSCT in the United States and to treat severe hepatic VOD/SOS post-HSCT in the European Union. In preclinical and human studies, defibrotide has demonstrated profibrinolytic, antithrombotic, anti-inflammatory, and angio-protective actions, thus promoting an anticoagulant phenotype of the endothelium that protects and stabilizes the function of endothelial cells. In a phase 3, historically controlled, multicenter trial in adults and children with VOD/SOS and MOD/MOF (defibrotide: n = 102; controls treated before defibrotide availability: n = 32), defibrotide resulted in significantly greater day +100 survival following HSCT (38.2%) vs controls (25.0%; propensity analysis-estimated between-group difference: 23%; P = .0109). The most common adverse events (AEs) were hypotension and diarrhea; rates of common hemorrhagic AEs were similar in the defibrotide and historical control group (64% and 75%, respectively). In a phase 3 prophylaxis trial, defibrotide was found to lower incidence of VOD/SOS in children (not an approved indication) and reduce the incidence of graft-versus-host disease. This review describes the development and clinical applications of defibrotide, focusing on its on-label use in patients with VOD/SOS and MOD/MOF after HSCT.

Abstract
Sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) is a potentially life-threatening complication of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). We assessed the proposed pediatric EBMT criteria along with the Baltimore and modified Seattle criteria in a population-based cohort. Eighty-seven children (1.1–17.3 years) undergoing myeloablative HSCT from 2010 to 2017 were consecutively included at the Danish National Transplantation Center. In total, 39 (44.8%) patients fulfilled the EBMT criteria and 30 patients (35%) fulfilled the criteria for severe or very severe SOS. Nine (10.3%) patients fulfilled the modified Seattle criteria while none met the Baltimore criteria. Patients fulfilling the EBMT criteria for SOS had longer primary admission (31 days (23–183) vs. 27 days (17–61), p = 0.001), were treated more intensively with diuretics within the first 3 months (29 days (0–90) vs. 3.5 days (0–90), p < 0.0001), and had a longer time to stable platelet counts >50 × 109/L (32 days (16–183) vs. 23 days (14–101), p < 0.0001). Two patients, fulfilling neither Baltimore nor Seattle criteria, but selectively fulfilling EBMT criteria, died of treatment-related acute inflammatory complications within 1 year post-HSCT. In conclusion, application of the pediatric EBMT diagnostic and severity criteria may be helpful in identifying patients at increased risk of severe treatment-related complications and mortality, although with a risk of over-diagnosing SOS.

Abstract
SOS is a rare complication of stem cell transplantation and has significant morbidity and mortality. We present three cases of SOS and highlight underlying risk factors for its development, such as impaired clearance of alkylating agents (especially melphalan) in patients with renal failure and prolonged infection. Although, melphalan and cyclophosphamide cause SOS less commonly than alkylating agents such as busulfan, physicians must use caution when administering these drugs to patients with underlying comorbidities such as renal failure that may increase the likelihood of development of SOS. This is due to unpredictable pharmacokinetics in patients with renal failure and therefore close drug monitoring is required. With the recent FDA approval of defibrotide in 2016, outcomes of SOS have improved and physician awareness is important for prompt diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
Sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS), also known as veno-occlusive disease (VOD), is a potentially life-threatening complication that may develop after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). The aims of this retrospective multicenter study were to evaluate the incidence of SOS/VOD in a large cohort of children transplanted in centers across Italy by applying the new European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) criteria and to analyze the risk factors underlying this complication. We retrospectively reviewed data of pediatric HSCTs performed in 13 AIEOP (Associazione Italiana di Ematologia e Oncologia Pediatrica)-affiliated centers between January 2000 and April 2016. The new pediatric EBMT criteria were retrospectively applied for diagnoses of SOS/VOD and severity grading. Among 5072 transplants considered at risk for SOS/VOD during the study period, 103 children (2%) developed SOS/VOD, and the grade was severe or very severe in all patients. The median time of SOS/VOD occurrence was 17 days after HSCT (range, 1 to 104). Sixty-nine patients (67%) were treated with defibrotide for a median time of 16 days (range, 4 to 104). In multivariable analysis age < 2 years, use of busulfan during the conditioning regimen, female gender, and hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis were risk factors statistically associated with the development of SOS/VOD. The overall mortality directly related to SOS/VOD was 15.5%. Overall survival at 1 year was worse in patients with SOS/VOD (P = .0033), and this difference disappeared 5 years after HSCT. Nonrelapse mortality was significantly higher 1 and 5 years after transplantation in patients who developed SOS/VOD (P < .001). Based on the application of new EBMT criteria, the overall incidence of SOS/VOD recorded in this large Italian pediatric retrospective study was 2%. Nonrelapse mortality was significantly higher in patients who developed SOS/VOD. Identifying the risk factors associated with SOS/VOD can lead to more effective early treatment strategies of this potentially fatal HSCT complication in childhood.

Abstract
Sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) is a lethal complication after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Defibrotide (DF) is the only drug internationally recommended for SOS treatment in Western countries. Recombinant human soluble thrombomodulin (rhTM), which is promising for the treatment of patients with disseminated intravascular coagulation, is also reported to be potentially effective for SOS. To clarify the safety and efficacy of DF and rhTM, we conducted a retrospective survey of these agents in Japan. Data from 65 patients who underwent allogeneic HSCT and received DF (n = 24) or rhTM (n = 41) for SOS treatment were collected. The complete response rates for SOS on day 100 were 50% and 54% in the DF and rhTM groups, respectively. The 100-day overall survival rates were 50% in the DF group, and 48% in the rhTM group. Several severe hemorrhagic adverse events were observed in one patient in the DF group and five patients in the rhTM group. The main causes of death were SOS-related death, and no patient died of direct adverse events of DF or rhTM. Our results suggest that rhTM, as well as DF, can be effective as a novel treatment option for SOS.
