Abstract
A 3-year-old child with chronic granulomatous disease was brought to the transplant clinic by his parents. The patient has a history of Aspergillus fumigatus pneumonia, which required mechanical ventilation, and sepsis, resulting in several intensive care stays. He has failure to thrive and developmental delay. His parents are seeking guidance whether allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is a reasonable treatment option given concerns about his upfront major health limitations. Based on the original HCT-Comorbidity Index (CI), this child's risk for nonrelapse mortality (NRM) would be negligible with a score of 0. With use of the validated youth-nonmalignant HCT-CI, the score increases to 5, due to prior mechanical ventilation (+3), history of fungal infection (+1), and being underweight (+1), with at least 2-fold increase in risk of NRM. The role of developmental delay is unclear and not currently validated to prognosticate survival. While HCT was ultimately recommended in this case, the family was counseled to have a more realistic sense of NRM risk.

Abstract
Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) can cure many hematologic diseases, but it carries the potential risk of increased morbidity and mortality rates. Prognostic evaluation is a scientific entity at the core of care for potential recipients of HCT. It can improve the decision-making process of transplant vs no transplant, help choose the best transplant strategy and allows for future trials targeting patients' intolerances to transplant; hence, it ultimately improves transplant outcomes. Prognostic models are key for appropriate actuarial outcome estimates, which have frequently been shown to be better than physicians' subjective estimates. To make the most accurate prognostic evaluation for HCT, one should rely on >1 prognostic model. For relapse and relapse-related mortality risks, the refined disease risk index is currently the most informative model. It can be supplemented with disease-specific models that consider genetic mutations as predictors in addition to information on measurable residual disease. For nonrelapse mortality and HCT-related morbidity risks, the HCT-comorbidity index and Karnofsky performance status have proven to be the most reliable and most accepted by physicians. These can be supplemented with gait speed as a measure of frailty. Some other global prognostic models might add additional prognostic information. Physicians' educated perceptions can then put this information into context, taking into consideration conditioning regimen and donor choices. The future of transplant mandates (1) clinical investigators specifically trained in prognostication, (2) increased reliance on geriatric assessment, (3) the use of novel biomarkers such as genetic variants, and (4) the successful application of novel statistical methods such as machine learning.

Abstract
Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) can cure many nonmalignant conditions, but concern for morbidity and mortality remains. To help physicians estimate patient-specific transplant mortality risk, the HCT comorbidity index (HCT-CI) is used. However, pediatric physicians use the HCT-CI less frequently than adult counterparts. We used the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research database to expand the HCT-CI comorbidity definitions to be more inclusive of children and adolescent and young adult (AYA) patients, adding history of mechanical ventilation, history of invasive fungal infection, assessment of chronic kidney disease (CKD) by estimated glomerular filtration rate, expanding the definition of obesity, and adding an underweight category. A total of 2815 children and AYAs (<40 years old) who received first allogeneic HCT for nonmalignant diseases from 2008 to 2017 were included to create an expanded youth nonmalignant HCT-CI (expanded ynHCT-CI) and a simplified non-malignant (simplified ynHCT-CI) HCT-CI. The expanded comorbidities occurred frequently-history of mechanical ventilation (9.6%), history of invasive fungal infection (5.9%), mild CKD (12.2%), moderate/severe CKD (2.1%), obesity (10.9%), and underweight (14.5%). Thirty-nine percent of patients had an increase in their comorbidity score using the expanded ynHCT-CI, leading to a redistribution of scores: ynHCT-CI score 0 (35%), 1-2 (36.4%), and ≥3 (28.6%). Patients with an increase in their comorbidity score had an increased hazard of mortality compared to those whose score remained the same (hazard ratio = 1.41; 95% confidence interval, 1.01-1.98). Modifications to the HCT-CI can benefit children and AYA patients with nonmalignant diseases, creating a risk assessment tool that is clinically relevant and better captures comorbidity in this younger population.

Abstract
Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation is a curative procedure for hematologic malignancies but is associated with a significant risk of non-relapse mortality (NRM). The Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation-Comorbidity Index (HCT-CI) is a prognostic tool that discriminates this risk in all age groups. A recent survey of transplant physicians demonstrated that 79% of pediatric providers used the HCT-CI infrequently, and most reported concerns about its applicability in the younger population. We conducted a retrospective study using the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research database to examine the impact of expanded HCT-CI definitions on NRM in pediatric and young adult patients with hematologic malignancies. We included 5790 patients <40 years old receiving allogeneic transplants between 2008 and 2017 to examine broader definitions of comorbidities in the HCT-CI, including history of mechanical ventilation and fungal infection, estimated glomerular filtration rate, and body mass index (BMI) percentiles. Multivariable Fine-Gray models were created to determine the effect of each HCT-CI defining comorbidity and its modification on NRM and were used to develop 2 novel risk scores. We next developed the expanded HCT-CI for children and young adults (youth with malignancies; expanded ymHCT-CI), where 23% patients had an increased comorbidity score, compared to the HCT-CI. Comorbidities with hazard ratio < 1.2 were then removed to create the simplified HCT-CI for children and young adults (youth with malignancies; simplified ymHCT-CI), which demonstrated higher scores corresponded to a greater risk of NRM (P < .001). These novel comorbidity indexes with broader definitions are more relevant to pediatric and young adult patients, and prospective studies are needed to validate these in the younger patient population. It remains to be seen whether the development of these pediatric-specific and practical risk indexes increases their use by the pediatric transplant community.

Abstract
It is not known whether obesity has a differential effect on allogeneic haematopoietic cell transplantation outcomes with alternative donor types. We report the results of a retrospective registry study examining the effect of obesity [body mass index (BMI) > 30] on outcomes with alternative donors (haploidentical related donor with two or more mismatches and receiving post-transplant cyclophosphamide [haplo] and cord blood (CBU)] versus matched unrelated donor (MUD). Adult patients receiving haematopoietic cell transplantation for haematologic malignancy (2013-2017) (N = 16 182) using MUD (n = 11 801), haplo (n = 2894) and CBU (n = 1487) were included. The primary outcome was non-relapse mortality (NRM). The analysis demonstrated a significant, non-linear interaction between pretransplant BMI and the three donor groups for NRM: NRM risk was significantly higher with CBU compared to haplo at BMI 25-30 [hazard ratio (HR) 1.66-1.71, p < 0.05] and MUD transplants at a BMI of 25-45 (HR, 1.61-3.47, p < 0.05). The results demonstrated that NRM and survival outcomes are worse in overweight and obese transplant recipients (BMI ≥ 25) with one alternative donor type over MUD, although obesity does not appear to confer a uniform differential mortality risk with one donor type over the other. BMI may serve as a criterion for selecting a donor among the three (MUD, haplo and CBU) options, if matched sibling donor is not available.

Abstract
Few patients with cancer, including those with acute myeloid leukemia and high-grade myeloid neoplasms, participate in clinical trials. Broadening standard eligibility criteria may increase clinical trial participation. In this retrospective single-center analysis, we identified 442 consecutive newly diagnosed patients from 2014 to 2016. Patients were considered “eligible” if they had a performance status 0-2, normal renal and hepatic function, no recent solid tumor, left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) ≥50%, and no history of congestive heart failure (CHF) or myocardial infarction (MI); “ineligible” patients failed to meet one or more of these criteria. We included 372 patients who received chemotherapy. Ineligible patients represented 40% of the population and had a 1.79-fold greater risk of death (95% Confidence Interval [CI]: 1.37-2.33) than eligible patients. Very few patients had cardiac comorbidities, including 2% with low EF, 4% with prior CHF, and 5% with prior MI. In multivariable analysis, ineligibility was associated with decreased survival (Hazard ratio [HR] 1.44; 95% CI: 1.07-1.93). Allogeneic transplantation, performed in 150 patients (40%), was associated with improved survival (HR 0.66, 95% CI: 0.48-0.91). Therefore, standard eligibility characteristics identify a patient population with improved survival. Further treatment options are needed for patients considered ineligible for clinical trials.

Abstract
We have used a non-myeloablative conditioning regimen for allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation for the past 20 years. During that period, changes in clinical practice have been aimed at reducing morbidity and mortality from infections, organ toxicity, and graft-versus-host disease. We hypothesized that improvements in clinical practice led to better transplantation outcomes over time. From 1997–2017, 1,720 patients with hematologic malignancies received low-dose total body irradiation ± fludarabine or clofarabine before transplantation from HLAmatched sibling or unrelated donors, followed by mycophenolate mofetil and a calcineurin inhibitor ± sirolimus. We compared outcomes in three cohorts by year of transplantation: 1997–2003 (n=562), 2004–2009 (n =594), and 2010–2017 (n=564). The proportion of patients ≥60 years old increased from 27% in 1997–2003 to 56% in 2010–2017, and with scores from the Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation Comorbidity Index of ≥3 increased from 25% in 1997–2003 to 45% in 2010–2017. Use of unrelated donors increased from 34% in 1997–2003 to 65% in 2010–2017. When outcomes from 2004–2009 and 2010–2017 were compared to 1997–2003, improvements were noted in overall survival (P=0.0001 for 2004–2009 and P≤0.0001 for 2010–2017), progression-free survival (P=0.002 for 2004–2009 and P<0.0001 for 2010–2017), non-relapse mortality (P<0.0001 for 2004– 2009 and P<0.0001 for 2010–2017), and in rates of grades 2–4 acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease. For patients with hematologic malignancies who underwent transplantation with non-myeloablative conditioning, outcomes have improved during the past two decades.

Abstract
Despite continuing increases in the use of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT) in older adults, no standardized geriatric assessment (GA) has been established to risk stratify for transplantation-related morbidity. We conducted a survey of transplant physicians to determine perceptions of the impact of older age (≥60 years) on alloHCT candidacy, and utilization of tools to gauge candidacy. This 23-item online cross-sectional survey was distributed to HCT physicians caring for adults in the United States between May and July 2019. Of the 770 invited HCT physicians, 175 (22.7%) completed the survey. The majority of respondents were age 41 to 60 years and male and practiced in a higher-volume teaching hospital. When considering regimen intensity, 29 physicians (17%) stated they would consider a myeloablative regimen for patients age ≥70 years, and 141 (82%) would consider reduced-intensity/nonmyeloablative conditioning for patients age ≥70 years. Almost all (90%) endorsed the need for a specialized assessment of pre-HCT vulnerabilities to guide candidacy decisions for older adults. Most physicians reported that their centers rarely (33%) or never (46%) use a dedicated geriatrician/geriatric-oncologist to assess alloHCT candidates age ≥60 years. Common barriers to performing a GA included uncertainty about which tools to use, lack of knowledge and training, and lack of appropriate clinical support staff. Many alloHCT physicians will consider alloHCT in patients up to age 75 years and not uncommonly in patients older than that. However, the application of tools and domains to assess candidacy in older adults varies widely. Incorporation of a standardized pretransplantation health assessment tool for risk stratification is a significant unmet need.

Abstract
Renal dysfunction is a recognized risk factor for mortality after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT), yet our understanding of the effect of different levels of renal dysfunction at time of transplantation on outcomes remains limited. This study explores the impact of different degrees of renal dysfunction on HCT outcomes and examines whether the utilization of incremental degrees of renal dysfunction based on estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) improve the predictability of the hematopoietic cell transplantation comorbidity index (HCT-CI). The study population included 2 cohorts: cohort 1, comprising patients age ≥40 years who underwent alloHCT for treatment of hematologic malignancies between 2008 and 2016 (n = 13,505; cohort selected given a very low incidence of renal dysfunction in individuals age <40 years), and cohort 2, comprising patients on dialysis at the time of HCT (n = 46). eGFR was measured using the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) method. The patients in cohort 1 were assigned into 4 categories-eGFR ≥90 mL/min (n = 7062), eGFR 60 to 89 mL/min (n = 5264), eGFR 45 to 59 mL/min (n = 897), and eGFR <45 mL/min (n=282)-to assess the impact of degree of renal dysfunction on transplantation outcomes. Transplantation outcomes in patients on dialysis at the time of alloHCT were analyzed separately. eGFR <60 mL/min was associated with an increased risk for nonrelapse mortality (NRM) and requirement for dialysis post-HCT. Compared with the eGFR ≥90 group, the hazard ratio (HR) for NRM was 1.46 (P = .0001) for the eGFR 45 to 59 mL/min group and 1.74 (P = .004) for the eGFR <45 mL/min group. Compared with the eGFR ≥90 mL/min group, the eGFR 45 to 59 mL/min group (HR, 2.45; P < .0001) and the eGFR <45 mL/min group (HR, 3.09; P < .0001) had a higher risk of renal failure necessitating dialysis after alloHCT. In addition, eGFR <45 mL/min was associated with an increased overall mortality (HR, 1.63; P < .0001). An eGFR-based revised HCT-CI was also developed and shown to be predictive of overall survival (OS) and NRM, with predictive performance similar to the original HCT-CI. Among 46 patients on dialysis at alloHCT, the 1-year probability of OS was 20%, and that of NRM was 67%. The degree of pretransplantation renal dysfunction is an independent predictor of OS, NRM, and probability of needing dialysis after alloHCT. An eGFR-based HCT-CI is a validated index for predicting outcomes in adults with hematologic malignancies undergoing alloHCT. The outcomes of alloHCT recipients on dialysis are dismal; therefore, one should strongly weigh the significant risks of being on hemodialysis as a factor in determining alloHCT candidacy.

Abstract
Background Low‐intensity regimens have been increasingly used to treat older patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Recent studies, however, suggest older patients can tolerate and potentially benefit from intensive chemotherapeutic regimens. The ability to compare the utility of varying regimen intensities in AML is hindered by the lack of a standardized definition of “regimen intensity.” Methods We conducted a survey asking AML physicians which of 38 regimens they would consider intensive vs less‐intensive. Electronic medical records of 592 patients receiving many of these regimens were used to design a model characterizing regimens as intensive vs less‐intensive as identified by ≥75% physician consensus. Variables included frequency and length of hospitalizations, intensive care unit admissions, severe gastrointestinal toxicities, time to nadir, and recovery of neutrophil/platelet count. Results Physicians agreed at a rate of 75%‐100% on the assignment of degree of intensity to the majority (n = 28) of these regimens, while the level of agreement was <75% for the remaining 10 regimens (26%). Logistic regression analyses identified number and length of hospitalizations to be significantly associated with intensive regimens and count recovery with less‐intensive regimens. We created the “regimen‐intensity per count‐recovery and hospitalization” (RICH) index with an AUC of 0.87. Independent model validation yielded an AUC of 0.75. Conclusions We were able to generate a novel model that defines regimen intensity for many therapies used to treat AML. Results facilitate a future randomized study comparing intensive vs less‐intensive regimens.

Abstract
Background: Multiple chronic conditions (MCCs) are associated with increased intensity of end-of-life (EOL) care, but their effect is not well explored in patients with cancer. Objective: We examined EOL health care intensity and advance care planning (ACP) documentation to better understand the association between MCCs and these outcomes. Design: Retrospective cohort study. Setting/Subjects: Patients aged 18+ years at UW Medicine who died during 2010-2017 with poor prognosis cancer, with or without chronic liver disease, chronic pulmonary disease, coronary artery disease, dementia, diabetes with end-stage organ damage, end-stage renal disease, heart failure, or peripheral vascular disease. Measurements: ACP documentation 30+ days before death, in-hospital death, and inpatient or intensive care unit (ICU) admission in the last 30 days. We performed logistic regression for outcomes. Results: Of 15,092 patients with cancer, 10,596 (70%) had 1+ MCCs (range 1-8). Patients with cancer and heart failure had highest odds of hospitalization (odds ratio [OR] 1.67, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.46-1.91), ICU admission (OR 2.06, 95% CI 1.76-2.41), or in-hospital death (OR 1.62, 95% CI 1.43-1.84) versus patients with cancer and other conditions. Patients with ACP 30+ days before death had lower odds of in-hospital death (OR 0.65, 95% CI 0.60-0.71), hospitalization (OR 0.67, 95% CI 0.61-0.74), or ICU admission (OR 0.71, 95% CI 0.64-0.80). Conclusions: Patients with ACP 30+ days before death had lower odds of high-intensity EOL care. Further research needs to explore how to best use ACP to ensure patients receive care aligned with patient and family goals for care.

Abstract
CD19-targeted chimeric antigen receptor-modified T cell (CAR-T cell) therapy has shown excellent antitumor activity in patients with relapsed/refractory B cell malignancies, with very encouraging response rates and outcomes. However, the late effects following this therapy remain unknown. Here we report late adverse events-defined as starting or persisting beyond 90 days after CAR-T cell infusion-in patients who survived at least 1 year after therapy. The median duration of follow-up was 28.1 months (range, 12.5 to 62.6 months). At last follow-up, 73% of patients were still alive and 24% were in ongoing complete remission (CR). The most common late adverse event was hypogammaglobulinemia (IgG <400 mg/dL or i.v immunoglobulinm (IVIG) replacement, observed in 67% of the patients with available data. Infection density was .55 infection/100 days at risk (2.08 per patient-year). The majority (80%) of the infections were treated in the outpatient setting, and 5% necessitated admission to the intensive care unit (ICU). Subsequent malignancies occurred in 15% of patients, including 5% with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Among patients with ongoing CR and with no MDS, 16% experienced prolonged cytopenia requiring transfusions or growth factor support. Graft-versus-host disease occurred in 3 of 15 patients (20%) who had undergone previous allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation. Most of the late events observed in this cohort were not severe, and many could be related to previous or subsequent therapies, suggesting a safe long-term profile of CD19-targeted CAR-T cell immunotherapy.

Abstract
Relapse of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) remains a clinical challenge. We studied in a phase II trial whether the addition of peri-transplant rituximab would reduce the relapse risk compared with historical controls (n = 157). Patients (n = 55) received fludarabine and low-dose total body irradiation combined with rituximab on days -3, + 10, + 24, + 36. Relapse rate at 3 years was significantly lower among rituximab-treated patients versus controls (17% versus 31%; P = 0.04). Overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS) and nonrelapse mortality (NRM) were statistically similar: (53% versus 50%; P = 0.8), (44% versus 42%; P = 0.63), and (38% versus 28%; P = 0.2), respectively. In multivariate analysis, rituximab treatment was associated with lower relapse rates both in the overall cohort [hazard ratio (HR): 0.34, P = 0.006] and in patients with high-risk cytogenetics (HR: 0.21, P = 0.0003). Patients with no comorbidities who received rituximab conditioning had an OS rate of 100% and 75% at 1 and 3 years, respectively, with no NRM. Peri-transplant rituximab reduced relapse rates regardless of high-risk cytogenetics. HCT is associated with minimal NRM in patients without comorbidities and is a viable option for patients with high-risk CLL. Clinical trial information: NCT00867529.

Abstract
Chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) is a heterogeneous group of clonal hematopoietic malignancies with variable clinical and molecular features. We analyzed long-term results of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation in patients with CMML and determined clinical and molecular risk factors associated with outcomes. Data from 129 patients, aged 7-74 (median 55) years, at various stages of the disease and transplanted from related or unrelated donors were analyzed. Using a panel of 75 genes somatic mutations present before hematopoietic cell transplantation were identified In 52 patients. The progression-free survival rate at 10 years was 29%. The major cause of death was relapse (32%), which was significantly associated with adverse cytogenetics (hazard ratio, 3.77; P=0.0002), CMML Prognostic Scoring System (hazard ratio, 14.3, P=0.01), and MD Anderson prognostic scores (hazard ratio, 9.4; P=0.005). Mortality was associated with high-risk cytogenetics (hazard ratio, 1.88; P=0.01) and high Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation Comorbidity Index (score ≥4: hazard ratio, 1.99; P=0.01). High overall mutation burden (≥10 mutations: hazard ratio, 3.4; P=0.02), and ≥4 mutated epigenetic regulatory genes (hazard ratio 5.4; P=0.003) were linked to relapse. Unsupervised clustering of the correlation matrix revealed distinct high-risk groups with unique associations of mutations and clinical features. CMML with a high mutation burden appeared to be distinct from high-risk groups defined by complex cytogenetics. New transplant strategies must be developed to target specific disease subgroups, stratified by molecular profiling and clinical risk factors.

Abstract
PURPOSE To develop a prognostic model and cytogenetic risk classification for previously treated patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) undergoing reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN We performed a retrospective analysis of outcomes of 606 patients with CLL who underwent RIC allogeneic HCT between 2008 and 2014 reported to the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research. RESULTS On the basis of multivariable models, disease status, comorbidity index, lymphocyte count, and white blood cell count at HCT were selected for the development of prognostic model. Using the prognostic score, we stratified patients into low-, intermediate-, high-, and very-high-risk [4-year progression-free survival (PFS) 58%, 42%, 33%, and 25%, respectively, P < 0.0001; 4-year overall survival (OS) 70%, 57%, 54%, and 38%, respectively, P < 0.0001]. We also evaluated karyotypic abnormalities together with del(17p) and found that del(17p) or ≥5 abnormalities showed inferior PFS. Using a multivariable model, we classified cytogenetic risk into low, intermediate, and high (P < 0.0001). When the prognostic score and cytogenetic risk were combined, patients with low prognostic score and low cytogenetic risk had prolonged PFS (61% at 4 years) and OS (75% at 4 years). CONCLUSIONS In this large cohort of patients with previously treated CLL who underwent RIC HCT, we developed a robust prognostic scoring system of HCT outcomes and a novel cytogenetic-based risk stratification system. These prognostic models can be used for counseling patients, comparing data across studies, and providing a benchmark for future interventions. For future study, we will further validate these models for patients receiving targeted therapies prior to HCT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation-Specific Comorbidity Index (HCT-CI) was previously developed showing that multiple comorbidities including moderate or greater valvular heart disease to be predictors of non-relapse mortality after allogeneic HCT. However, detailed description of the impact of valve disease on outcomes is lacking. METHODS Among a large cohort of patients given allogeneic HCT between 2000 and 2017, we identified 21 patients with moderate or severe valvular disease. We also identified a cohort of 42 controls matched on age and HCT-CI score. The primary outcome was all-cause mortality, with censoring at two years of follow-up. Secondary outcomes included mortality without relapse, duration of index admission, number of readmissions, increase in creatinine and peak troponin. RESULTS Non-myeloablative regimens were more common in the valve disease cohort compared to controls (86% vs 54% p = 0.012). Valvular disease was associated with increased all-cause mortality with adjusted hazard ratio of 2.17 (CI 1.08-4.34, p = 0.029) and for non-relapse mortality with adjusted hazard ratio of 2.53 (CI 1.16-5.52, p = 0.020). In the valve disease cohort, creatinine increased by 1.6 vs 0.9 mg/dL (p = 0.003) and peak troponin by 1.6 vs 0.3 ng/mL (p = 0.05) compared to controls. There was no difference in readmissions or length of stay when accounting for outpatient treatment. CONCLUSIONS Despite having similar pre-procedure risk factors and undergoing less aggressive chemotherapy regimens, patients with moderate valvular disease or greater, most of whom did not meet current guideline recommendations for repair, had worse non-relapse related outcomes with higher mortality, renal and myocardial injury.

Abstract
Question Can a model incorporating patient-specific (comorbidities and age) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML)-specific features (cytogenetic and molecular alterations) predict mortality after AML treatment? Findings In a multicenter cohort study of 1100 patients, we demonstrated that (1) comorbidities had a significant impact on 1-year mortality after initial therapy for AML, (2) an augmented hematopoietic cell transplant–comorbidity index (HCT-CI) was the best suited index for comorbidity evaluation in AML, and (3) an AML composite model of augmented HCT-CI, age, and cytogenetic/molecular risks has a strong AUC of 0.76 for 1-year mortality. Meaning An AML composite model can guide decision-making about treatment of AML. Importance To our knowledge, this multicenter analysis is the first to test and validate (1) the prognostic impact of comorbidities on 1-year mortality after initial therapy of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and (2) a novel, risk-stratifying composite model incorporating comorbidities, age, and cytogenetic and molecular risks. Objective To accurately estimate risks of mortality by developing and validating a composite model that combines the most significant patient-specific and AML-specific features. Design, Setting, and Participants This is a retrospective cohort study. A series of comorbidities, including those already incorporated into the hematopoietic cell transplantation–comorbidity index (HCT-CI), were evaluated. Patients were randomly divided into a training set (n = 733) and a validation set (n = 367). In the training set, covariates associated with 1-year overall mortality at a significance level of P < .10 constructed a multivariate Cox proportional hazards model in which the impact of each covariate was adjusted for that of all others. Then, the adjusted hazard ratios were used as weights. Performances of models were compared using C statistics for continuous outcomes and area under the curve (AUC) for binary outcomes. Exposures Initial therapy for AML. Main Outcomes and Measures Death within 1 year after initial therapy for AML. Results A total of 1100 patients, ages 20 to 89 years, were treated for AML between January 1, 2008, and December 31, 2012, at 5 academic institutions specialized in treating AML; 605 (55%) were male, and 495 (45%) were female. In the validation set, the original HCT-CI had better C statistic and AUC estimates compared with the AML comorbidity index for prediction of 1-year mortality. Augmenting the original HCT-CI with 3 independently significant comorbidities, hypoalbuminemia, thrombocytopenia, and high lactate dehydrogenase level, yielded a better C statistic of 0.66 and AUC of 0.69 for 1-year mortality. A composite model comprising augmented HCT-CI, age, and cytogenetic/molecular risks had even better predictive estimates of 0.72 and 0.76, respectively. Conclusions and Relevance In this cohort study, comorbidities influenced 1-year survival of patients with AML, and comorbidities are best captured by an augmented HCT-CI. The augmented HCT-CI, age, and cytogenetic/molecular risks could be combined into an AML composite model that could guide treatment decision-making and trial design in AML. Studying physical, cognitive, and social health might further clarify the prognostic role of aging. Targeting comorbidities with interventions alongside specific AML therapy might improve survival.

Abstract
Risk factors for rhinovirus lower respiratory tract infection are not well characterized. Several risk factors in hematopoietic cell transplant recipients were identified. A risk score for progression to lower respiratory tract infection was developed.
Human rhinovirus lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) is associated with mortality after hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT); however, risk factors for LRTI are not well characterized. We sought to develop a risk score for progression to LRTI from upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) in HCT recipients. Risk factors for LRTI within 90 days were analyzed using Cox regression among HCT recipients with rhinovirus URTI between January 2009 and March 2016. The final multivariable model included factors with a meaningful effect on the bootstrapped optimism corrected concordance statistic. Weighted score contributions based on hazard ratios were determined. Cumulative incidence curves estimated the probability of LRTI at various score cut-offs. Of 588 rhinovirus URTI events, 100 (17%) progressed to LRTI. In a final multivariable model allogeneic grafts, prior rhinovirus URTI, low lymphocyte count, low albumin, positive cytomegalovirus serostatus, recipient statin use, and steroid use ≥2 mg/kg/day were associated with progression to LRTI. A weighted risk score cut-off with the highest sensitivity and specificity was determined. Risk scores above this cut-off were associated with progression to LRTI (cumulative incidence 28% versus 11% below cut-off; P < .001). The weighted risk score for progression to rhinovirus LRTI can help identify and stratify patients for clinical management and for future clinical trials of therapeutics in HCT recipients.

Abstract
The Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation-Specific Comorbidity Index (HCT-CI) was developed and validated to weigh the burden of pretransplantation comorbidities and estimate their impact on post-transplantation risks of nonrelapse mortality (NRM). Recently, the HCT-CI was augmented by the addition of both age and the values of 3 markers: ferritin, albumin, and platelet count. So far, research involving The HCT-CI has been limited almost exclusively to recipients of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) from HLA-matched grafts. To this end, we sought to investigate the discriminative capacity of an augmented comorbidity/age index among 724 recipients of allogeneic HCT from HLA-mismatched (n = 345), haploidentical (n = 117), and umbilical cord blood (UCB; n = 262) grafts between 2000 and 2013. In the overall cohort, the augmented comorbidity/age index had a higher c-statistic estimate for prediction of NRM compared with the original HCT-CI (.63 versus .59). Findings were similar for recipients of HLA-mismatched (.62 versus .59), haploidentical (.60 versus .54), or UCB grafts (.65 versus .61). Compared with patients with an HCT-CI score ≥4, those with a score <4 had a higher survival rate among recipients of HLA-mismatched (55% versus 39%; P < .0008), HLA-haploidentical (58% versus 38%; P = .01), or UCB (67% versus 48%; P = .004) grafts. Our results demonstrate the utility of the augmented comorbidity/age index as a valid prognostic tool among recipients of allogeneic HCT from alternative graft sources.

Abstract
Transplant-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (TA-TMA) after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) has not been well characterized in large population studies with clinically adjudicated cases. We performed a retrospective cohort study of adults who underwent allogeneic HCT between 2006 and 2015 to determine the incidence of and risk factors for TA-TMA and to describe its natural history and response to immunosuppressant withdrawal management. Among 2145 patients in this study, 192 developed TA-TMA with a cumulative incidence of 7.6% by 100days post-transplant. Independent pretransplant risk factors included the receipt of a second (or third) allogeneic HCT, HLA-mismatched donor, and myeloablative conditioning with or without total body irradiation; post-transplant risk factors included the antecedent development of acute graft-versus-host disease, diffuse alveolar hemorrhage, bacteremia, invasive aspergillosis, BK viremia, and higher sirolimus trough level. Among TA-TMA patients 27% achieved hematologic resolution and 57% remained alive as of 90days after diagnosis. Antecedent risk factors stratified patients into different survival groups, and immunosuppressant withdrawal alone did not improve patient outcomes. In conclusion, TA-TMA is a heterogenous disease that occurs after allogeneic transplantation. Management with immunosuppressant withdrawal does not impact patient outcomes. Until further evidence becomes available, the management of TA-TMA should focus on the treatment of underlying diseases.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) provides potential cure to a large number of malignant and nonmalignant hematological disorders. With the development of non-myeloablative and reduced-intensity conditioning regimens, allogeneic HCT can nowadays be offered to a number of older or medically unfit patients. Up until the twenty-first century, chronological age was considered a hypothetical barrier. Recent reports, however, have shown that comorbidities, function, and other patient-related factors influence HCT outcomes at a higher magnitude than age alone. Areas covered: To define the eligibility of older or medically unfit patients for allogeneic HCT, a range of factors have to be considered. To solve this considerable issue, we need to further understand the mechanism and consequences of aging, such as chronic inflammation, sarcopenia, and especially the structure of frailty. Domains covering functional, physical, mental, social, nutritional, bone, and other health statuses should be evaluated and considered. Expert commentary: In this review we merge the current assessment tools with the potential approaches to objectify functional resources, as well as with possible methods to improve these resources in older or otherwise medically unfit patients prior to allogeneic HCT.

Abstract
Recent publications note an association between antibiotic exposure and respiratory viral infections (RVIs). Antibiotics affect microbiota and impair immune response against RVIs in mice, and low microbiome diversity is associated with pulmonary complications including viral lower respiratory tract disease (LRTD) in hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) recipients. In this study, we examined whether antibiotic exposure was associated with increased risk of disease progression in RVIs post-transplantation. We analyzed patients who underwent allogeneic HCT (June 2008 to February 2016) and had their first RVI due to parainfluenza virus (PIV), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), or human metapneumovirus (MPV) during the initial 100 days post-transplantation. Antibiotic exposure in the 3 weeks before RVI onset was defined as (1) use of specific antibiotics versus none of these antibiotics and (2) number of antibiotic-days. Cox proportional hazards models were used to examine associations between antibiotic exposures and risk of viral disease progression to proven/probable/possible LRTD. Ninety HCT recipients (84 adults, 6 children) fulfilled study criteria; 33 progressed to LRTD. The number of antibiotic-days was associated with progression to LRTD after adjusting for neutropenia, steroid use, and either lymphopenia (hazard ratio, 1.41 [95% confidence interval, 1.04 to 1.92], P = .027) or monocytopenia (hazard ratio, 1.46 [95% confidence interval, 1.11 to 1.91], P = .006). Specific antibiotic classes was not associated with the outcome. Cumulative antibiotic exposure immediately before RVI onset is a risk factor for disease progression following PIV, RSV, and MPV infections post-transplantation. Larger cohort studies are needed to determine the impact of specific antibiotics or antibiotic classes on disease severity.

Abstract
Hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) provides potentially curative treatment for patients with myelofibrosis (MF). HCT outcomes are associated with the Dynamic International Prognostic Scoring System (DIPSS) risk scores. In the present study we analyzed results in 233 patients to determine if the DIPSS plus classification, which adds cytogenetics, thrombocytopenia, and RBC transfusion dependence as risk factors, would better predict post-HCT outcomes than the original DIPSS. Multivariate analysis showed that each risk parameter incorporated into the DIPPS plus model contributed to its predictive power of overall mortality, relapse-free survival, and nonrelapse mortality. The 5-year overall survival (OS), relapse, and treatment-related mortality (TRM) rates for patients with low/intermediate-1 risk MF were 78%, 5%, and 20%, respectively. The 5-year OS, relapse, and TRM rates for patients with high-risk MF were 35%, 28%, and 40%, respectively. The HCT-specific comorbidity index of 3 or greater was associated with higher nonrelapse and overall mortality and reduced relapse-free survival. The relapse incidence was significantly increased in older patients (HR, 3.02; P = .0007). With a median follow-up of 8 years 124 patients (53%) were surviving. The components of the DIPSS plus classification still have prognostic relevance after adjustment by the DIPSS classification. This information should enhance our ability to advise patients when making decisions regarding timing of transplant.

Abstract
In this study, we evaluated trends and outcomes of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) in adults ≥70 years with hematologic malignancies across the United States. Adults ≥70 years with a hematologic malignancy undergoing first allogeneic HCT in the United States between 2000 and 2013 and reported to the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research were eligible. Transplant utilization and transplant outcomes, including overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and transplant-related mortality (TRM) were studied. One thousand one hundred and six patients ≥70 years underwent HCT across 103 transplant centers. The number and proportion of allografts performed in this population rose markedly over the past decade, accounting for 0.1% of transplants in 2000 to 3.85% (N = 298) in 2013. Acute myeloid leukemia and myelodysplastic syndromes represented the most common disease indications. Two-year OS and PFS significantly improved over time (OS: 26% [95% confidence interval (CI), 21% to 33%] in 2000-2007 to 39% [95% CI, 35% to 42%] in 2008-2013, P < .001; PFS: 22% [16% to 28%] in 2000-2007 to 32% [95% CI, 29% to 36%] in 2008-2013, P = .003). Two-year TRM ranged from 33% to 35% and was unchanged over time (P = .54). Multivariable analysis of OS in the modern era of 2008-2013 revealed higher comorbidity by HCT comorbidity index ≥3 (hazard ratio [HR], 1.27; P = .006), umbilical cord blood graft (HR, 1.97; P = .0002), and myeloablative conditioning (HR, 1.61; P = .0002) as adverse factors. Over the past decade, utilization and survival after allogeneic transplant have increased in patients ≥70 years. Select adults ≥70 years with hematologic malignancies should be considered for transplant.

Abstract
Autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is a treatment option for many patients diagnosed with lymphoma. The effects of patient-specific factors on outcomes after autologous HCT are not well characterized. Here, we studied a sequential cohort of 754 patients with lymphoma treated with autologous HCT between 2000 and 2010. In multivariate analysis, patient-specific factors that were statistically significantly associated with nonrelapse mortality (NRM) included HCT-specific comorbidity index (HCT-CI) scores ≥ 3 (HR, 1.94; P = .05), a history of alcohol use disorder (AUD) (HR, 2.17; P = .004), and older age stratified by decade (HR, 1.29; P = .02). HCT-CI ≥ 3, a history of AUD, and age > 50 were combined into a composite risk model: NRM and overall mortality rates at 5 years increased from 6% to 30% and 32% to 58%, respectively, in patients with 0 versus all 3 risk factors. The HCT-CI is a valid tool in predicting mortality risks after autologous HCT for lymphoma. AUD and older age exert independent prognostic impact on outcomes. Whether AUD indicates additional organ dysfunction or sociobehavioral abnormality warrants further investigation. The composite model may improve risk stratification before autologous HCT.

Abstract
Cure of malignant and non-malignant hematological diseases is potentially possible after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT). Accurate evaluation of the risk-benefit ratio for an individual patient could improve the decision-making process about transplant, which ultimately would increase the likelihood of success. Several transplant-related models were designed in an effort to optimize decision-making about suitable candidates for allogeneic HCT. In 1998, The European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) developed a five-component pretransplantation risk scoring system for patients with CML. The EBMT score was later tested in patients with various hematological disorders, and it was shown to stratify risks of mortality after allogeneic HCT. More recent research efforts focused on models that assess health status before HCT. A HCT-specific comorbidity index was designed to assign weights to 17 relevant comorbidities that were shown to independently predict non-relapse mortality. Performance status scales and comprehensive geriatric assessment tools might uncover additional overall health limitations that affect long-term survival among older recipients of allogeneic HCT. Other models include the pretransplantation assessment of mortality score that summarizes the impacts of eight different pretransplantation patient- and disease-specific variables into a 50-point model that predicts survival. The disease-risk index captures the impact of primary diagnoses and disease status on relapse and survival following allogeneic HCT. The values and limitations of each model are discussed herein. We also provide insight on how to use these models in the clinic to decide about offering allogeneic HCT with the most suitable conditioning regimen intensity.

Abstract
Comparisons without hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) to myeloablative (MAC) or reduced-intensity HCT (RIC) for adults with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in first minimal-residual-disease negative remission (MRD(Neg) CR1) are limited. Further, the importance of MRD(Neg) following salvage therapy (MRD(Neg) CR2+) is unknown. We evaluated 89 patients in MRD(Neg) CR1 after adult-inspired treatment: 33 received MAC (12 Philadelphia chromosome [Ph]+), 17 received RIC (13 Ph+), and 39 Deferred HCT (3 Ph+). Three-year overall survival (OS) estimates for MAC, RIC, and Deferred HCT were 71%, 69%, and 68%, while 3-year event-free survival (EFS) estimates were 65%, 54%, and 28%, respectively. Further, HCT in MRD(Neg) CR1 performed similarly to MRD(Neg) CR2+: 3-year OS estimates were 70% and 69%, and 3-year EFS estimates were 62% and 62%, respectively. In conclusion, adults with ALL in MRD(Neg) CR1 following adult-inspired therapy had similar OS with or without HCT, and HCT in MRD(Neg) CR2 + can yield long-term survival.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although cytomegalovirus viral load is commonly used to guide pre-emptive therapy in the post-transplantation setting, few data are available correlating viraemia with clinical endpoints. We therefore investigated the association between cytomegalovirus viral load and mortality in the first year after haemopoietic stem cell transplantation. METHODS In this retrospective cohort study, we included patients from the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, WA, USA, who received an allogeneic haemopoietic stem cell transplantation between Jan 1, 2007, and Feb 28, 2013, were cytomegalovirus seropositive or had a seropositive donor, and underwent weekly plasma cytomegalovirus monitoring by PCR through to day 100 post-transplantation. Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate the association of cytomegalovirus viral load at different thresholds with overall mortality by 1 year post-transplantation, adjusting for the use of pre-emptive therapy and other factors such as neutropenia, and graft-versus-host disease. FINDINGS Of the 1037 patients initially selected for inclusion in this cohort, 87 (8%) patients were excluded because of missing cytomegalovirus testing and 24 (2%) were excluded because of their participation in cytomegalovirus prophylaxis trials. In the remaining 926 patients included in this study, the cumulative overall mortality was 30·0% (95% CI 26·9-33·0) 1 year after haemopoietic stem cell transplantation. 95 patients developed cytomegalovirus disease; death was directly attributable to cytomegalovirus disease in three (1%) of 263 patients who died in the first year after transplantation. A cytomegalovirus viral load of 250 IU/mL or greater was associated with increased risk of early (day 0-60 post-transplantation) death (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] 19·8, 95% CI 9·6-41·1). The risk was attenuated after day 60 (adjusted HR 1·8, 95% CI 1·3-2·3). Similar associations were noted for higher cytomegalovirus viral load thresholds. INTERPRETATION Cytomegalovirus viraemia is associated with an increased risk of overall mortality in the first year after haemopoietic stem cell transplantation, independent of the use of pre-emptive therapy, and with evidence of a positive dose-response relationship. These data indicate the suitability of viral load as a surrogate clinical endpoint for clinical trials for cytomegalovirus vaccines, biologics, and drugs.

Abstract
Pretransplant values of serum ferritin, albumin, and peripheral blood counts were previously suggested to provide prognostic information about hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) outcomes. Whether these "biomarkers" have prognostic value independent of each other and the HCT-comorbidity index (HCT-CI) is unknown. We analyzed data from 3917 allogeneic HCT recipients at multiple sites in the United States and Italy using multivariate models including each biomarker and the HCT-CI. Data from all sites were then randomly divided into a training set (n = 2352) to develop weights for the relevant biomarkers to be added to the HCT-CI scores and a validation set (n = 1407) to validate an augmented HCT-CI compared with the original index. Multivariate analysis with data from one site showed that ferritin, albumin, and platelets-not neutrophils or hemoglobin-were independently associated with increased nonrelapse mortality (NRM) and decreased overall survival. Findings were validated in data from the other sites. Subsequently, in a training set from all sites, ferritin >2500 mg/dL (hazard ratio [HR], 1.69); albumin 3 to 3.5 g/dL (HR, 1.61) and <3.0 g/dL (HR, 2.27); and platelets 50 to <100,000 (HR, 1.28), 20 to <50,000 (HR, 1.29), and <20,000 (HR, 1.55) were statistically significantly associated with NRM. Weights were assigned to these laboratory values following the same equation used to design the original index. In the validation set, the addition of the biomarkers to the original index to develop an augmented HCT-CI resulted in a statistically significant increase in a higher c-statistic estimate for prediction of NRM (P = .0007). Ferritin, albumin, and platelet counts are important prognostic markers that further refine the discriminative power of the HCT-CI for transplant outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previously, early results were reported for allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) after nonmyeloablative conditioning with 2 Gy of total body irradiation with or without fludarabine and/or rituximab in 33 patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). METHODS This study examined the outcomes of 70 patients with MCL and included extended follow-up (median, 10 years) for the 33 initial patients. Grafts were obtained from human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched, related donors (47%), unrelated donors (41%), and HLA antigen-mismatched donors (11%). RESULTS The 5-year incidence of nonrelapse mortality was 28%. The relapse rate was 26%. The 5-year rates of overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were 55% and 46%, respectively. The 10-year rates of OS and PFS were 44% and 41%, respectively. Eighty percent of surviving patients were off immunosuppression at the last follow-up. The presence of relapsed or refractory disease at the time of HCT predicted a higher rate of relapse (hazard ratio [HR], 2.94; P = .05). Despite this, OS rates at 5 (51% vs 58%) and 10 years (43% vs 45%) were comparable between those with relapsed/refractory disease and those undergoing transplantation with partial or complete remission. A high-risk cytomegalovirus (CMV) status was the only independent predictor of worse OS (HR, 2.32; P = .02). A high-risk CMV status and a low CD3 dose predicted PFS (HR, 2.22; P = .03). CONCLUSIONS Nonmyeloablative allogeneic HCT provides a long-term survival benefit for patients with relapsed MCL, including those with refractory disease or multiple relapses.

Abstract
The Haematopoietic Cell Transplantation-Comorbidity Index (HCT-CI) was designed as a predictor of non-relapse mortality after HCT. Chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) contributes to mortality after HCT. Here, we investigated whether the HCT-CI could predict development of chronic GVHD or post-chronic GVHD mortality. We retrospectively analysed data from 2909 patients treated with allogeneic HCT for malignant and non-malignant haematological conditions at four institutions. In Cox regression models adjusted for potential confounders, increasing HCT-CI was not statistically significantly associated with the development of chronic GVHD [hazard ratio (HR) = 1·02, P = 0·34]. Yet, the index was associated with an increased risk of non-relapse mortality (HR = 1·29, P < 0·0001) as well as overall mortality (HR = 1·25, P < 0·001) following the development of chronic GVHD. The association between HCT-CI and post-chronic GVHD mortality was similar regardless of donor type or stem cell source. HCT-CI scores could be incorporated in the design of clinical trials for treatment of chronic GVHD.

Abstract
The haematopoietic cell transplantation-specific comorbidity index (HCT-CI) was developed in a single centre as a weighted scoring system to predict risks of non-relapse mortality (NRM) following allogeneic haematopoietic cell transplantation. Information on the performance of the HCT-CI in multi-centre studies is lacking in the literature. To that end, a collaborative multicentre retrospective study was initiated. Comorbidity data from 2523 consecutive recipients of human leucocyte antigen-matched grafts from five different US institutions were analysed. Among all patients, HCT-CI scores of 0 vs. 1-2 vs. ≥3 were associated with 2-year NRM rates of 14%, 23% and 39% (P < 0·0001), respectively, and 2-year overall survival (OS) rates of 74%, 61% and 39%, respectively (P < 0·0001). Using regression models, increasing HCT-CI scores were independently associated with increases in hazard ratios for NRM and worse survival within individual institutions. The HCT-CI retained independent capacity for association with outcomes within different age as well as conditioning intensity groups. C-statistic estimates for the prognostic power of the HCT-CI for NRM and OS were 0·66 and 0·64, respectively. The estimates within each institution were overall similar. The HCT-CI is a valid tool for capturing comorbidities and predicting mortality after haematopoietic cell transplantation across different institutions.

Abstract
Prospective validation of the hematopoietic cell transplantation-comorbidity index (HCT-CI) using contemporary patients treated with hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) across the Unites States is necessary to confirm its widespread applicability. We performed a prospective observational study including all patients (8115 recipients of allogeneic and 11,652 recipients of autologous HCT) who underwent a first HCT that was reported to the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research between 2007 and 2009. In proportional hazards models, increased HCT-CI scores were independently associated with increases in hazard ratios for nonrelapse mortality (NRM) (P < .0001) and overall mortality (P < .0001) among recipients of allogeneic HCT. HCT-CI scores of ≥3 were uniformly associated with higher risks for outcomes in both allogeneic and autologous HCT and in all subgroups, regardless of diagnoses, age, and conditioning intensity. Recipients of allogeneic HCT with scores of 1 and 2 who were ages < 18 years or were treated with lower intensity conditioning regimens had similar outcomes compared with those with a score of 0. Higher risks for overall mortality, but not for NRM, were observed among recipients of autologous HCT with scores of 1 and 2 versus 0. Our results confirm the validity the HCT-CI in both allogeneic and autologous HCT. The index should be used as a valid standard-of-care health measure in counseling patients for HCT, in clinical trial design, and in adjusting outcome analyses.

Abstract
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is primarily a disease of the elderly and the numbers of these patients are increasing. Patients ≥60 years of age continue to have poor prognosis. Preliminary results suggest benefit from reduced-intensity allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) in selected patients 60-80 years of age. However, although patients in this age range comprise >50% of those with AML, they currently constitute only 17% of those offered HCT. In the absence of prospective randomized studies comparing HCT and chemotherapy, the decision to recommend HCT rests on retrospective analyses of the risks of relapse and nonrelapse mortality after each approach. There is strong evidence that pre-HCT comorbidities can predict HCT-related morbidity and mortality. Age alone does not appear predictive and, particularly if the risk of relapse with chemotherapy is high, should not be the sole basis for deciding against HCT. Use of geriatric assessment tools, inflammatory biomarkers, and genetic polymorphism data may further aid in predicting nonrelapse mortality after HCT. Disease status and pretreatment cytogenetics with FLT3-TID, NPM-1, and CEBP-α status are the main factors predicting relapse and these are likely to be supplemented by incorporation of other molecular markers and the level of minimal residual disease after chemotherapy. HLA-matched related and unrelated donor grafts seem preferable to those from other donor sources. Donor age is of no clear significance. Models combining comorbidities with AML risk factors are useful in risk assessment before HCT. In this chapter, we integrated information on AML-specific, HCT-specific, and patient-specific risk factors into a risk-adapted approach to guide decisions about HCT versus no HCT.

Abstract
Relapse is least common in patients with indolent B cell (iB) malignancies (ie, iB non-Hodgkin lymphoma [NHL]) who undergo nonmyeloablative allogeneic transplantation (NMAT) in complete remission (CR). However, for the many patients unable to achieve this state, outcomes are poorly described and methods to improve results are unknown. We sought to describe the long-term follow-up and predictive factors for these poor-risk patients unable to achieve CR before NMAT. We identified and evaluated patients with iB-NHL including chronic lymphocytic leukemia treated with fludarabine/total body irradiation-based NMAT that had evidence of persistent disease before NMAT. From December 1998 to April 2009, 89 patients were identified, most commonly with small/chronic lymphocytic lymphoma (n = 62) and follicular lymphoma (n = 24). Pretransplant anti-CD20 radioimmunotherapy (RIT) using standard yttrium-90-ibritumomab tiuxetan was administered to 18 patients (20%) who more frequently had chemoresistant disease (81% versus 39%, P = .003), disease bulk > 5 cm (61% versus 15%, P < .001), thrombocytopenia < 25k/μL (33% versus 7%, P = .002), and Hematopoietic Cell Transplant Comorbidity Index scores ≥ 3 (72% versus 37%, P = .006). After adjusting for these imbalances, RIT-treated patients had improved rates of progression-free survival (PFS) (hazard ratio [HR] = .4; 95% confidence interval [CI], .2 to .9, P = .02) and overall survival (OS) (HR = .3; 95% CI, .1 to .8, P = .008) compared with the non-RIT group. The 3-year adjusted estimates of PFS and OS for the RIT and non-RIT groups were 71% and 87% versus 44% and 59%, respectively. The use of RIT was the only factor independently associated with improved PFS and OS. Rates of nonrelapse mortality and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) were similar between the 2 groups, although over 70% of patients developed clinically significant acute or chronic GVHD. In conclusion, despite relatively high rates of GVHD, patients with persistent iB-NHL can derive durable benefit from NMAT.
