Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) is a life-threatening pulmonary toxicity that can arise after hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). Risk-factors and outcomes are not well-understood due to a sparsity of cases spread across multiple centers. The objectives of this epidemiologic study were to characterize the incidence, outcomes, transplant-related risk factors and co-morbid critical care diagnoses associated with post-HCT DAH. Retrospective analysis was performed on a multi-center cohort of 6,995 patients ≤21 years old who underwent allogeneic HCT between 2008-2014 identified through the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research registry and cross-matched with the Virtual Pediatric Systems database to obtain critical care characteristics. A multivariable Cox-proportional hazard model was used to determine risk factors for DAH. Logistic regression models were used to determine critical care diagnoses associated with DAH. Survival outcomes were analyzed using both a landmark approach and Cox-regression with DAH as a time-varying covariate. DAH occurred in 81 patients at a median 54 days post-HCT (IQR 23-160 days), with a 1-year post-transplant cumulative incidence probability of 1.0% (95% CI 0.81-1.3%) and was noted in 7.6% of all PICU patients. Risk factors included transplant for non-malignant hematologic disease (Referent: malignant hematologic disease, HR=1.98, 95% CI 1.22-3.22, p=0.006), use of calcineurin inhibitor plus mycophenolate mofetil (CNI + MMF) as GvHD prophylaxis, (Referent: calcineurin inhibitor plus methotrexate, HR=1.89, 95% CI 1.07-3.34, p=0.029), and grade III-IV acute GvHD (HR=2.67, 95% CI 1.53-4.66, p<0.001). Critical care admitted patients with DAH had significantly higher rates of systemic hypertension, pulmonary hypertension, pericardial disease, renal failure, and bacterial/viral/fungal infections (p<0.05) than those without DAH. From the time of DAH, median survival was 2.2 months and one-year overall survival was 26% (95% CI 17-36%). Among all HCT patients, the development of DAH when considered was associated with a seven-fold increase in unadjusted all-cause post-HCT mortality (HR 6.96, 95% CI 5.42-8.94, p<0.001). In a landmark analysis of patients alive 2 months post-HCT, patients who developed DAH had a one-year overall survival of 33% (95% CI 18-49%) versus 82% (95% CI 81-83%) for patients without DAH (p<0.001). Although DAH is rare, it is associated with high mortality in the post-HCT setting. Our data suggest that clinicians should have a heightened index of suspicion of DAH in patients with pulmonary symptoms in the context of non-malignant hematologic transplant indication, use of CNI + MMF as GvHD prophylaxis and severe acute GvHD. Further investigations and validation of modifiable risk factors are warranted given poor outcomes.
