Abstract

PurposeThis study aimed to examine how clinical profiles based on Allomap scores and Cylex can predict 1-year clinical outcomes (allograft rejection and infection) in patients with heart transplantation.MethodsAllomap scores and Cylex measured at 6 months post cardiac transplantation from 80 consecutive patients from a single heart transplant center. Clinical profiles were defined based on Allomap scores and Cylex; Profile 1 (Allomap<34/Cylex:226-524); Profile 2 (Allomap<34/Cylex<225); Profile 3 (Allomap<34/Cylex>525); Profile 4 (Allomap >34/Cylex:226-524); Profile 5(Allomap>34/Cylex<225); Profile 6 (Allomap>34/Cylex>525). Clinical outcomes included composite of acute cellular or antibody mediated rejection and infection at 1 year post-transplant.ResultsIn the total cohort, mean age was 52±12 years, 61% were males. The following clinical profiles were identified: Profile 1 (46%); Profile 2 (25 %); Profile 3 (9%); Profile 4 (10%); Profile 5 (9%) and Profile 6 (1 %). Patients with profile 5 (Allomap>34/Cylex<225) were more likely to reach the clinical end point of composite of acute cellular or antibody mediated rejection and infection at 1 year post-transplant when compared to patients with profile 4 (Allomap >34/Cylex:226-524) (57.1% vs. 12.5% respectively). Allograft rejection and infection were more common in cardiac transplant recipients with Profiles 2 and 5. Interestingly, cardiac transplant recipients with Profile 4 (Allomap >34/Cylex: 226-524) had the lowest rates of rejection and infection (0% and 12.5% respectively).ConclusionThe utilization of clinical profiles defined by Allomap and Cylex scores may be useful in predicting the presence clinical outcomes of allograft rejection, infection at 1 year post-transplant.
