Adverse Occurrence type:
MPHO Type:
Estimated frequency:
Common, as HLA matching is the primary criteria for donor selection
Time to detection:
13-35 days post transplant in this case series
Alerting signals, symptoms, evidence of occurrence:
Delayed red cell and platelet engraftment, red cell aplasia, increased transfusion support
Demonstration of imputability or root cause:
In patients that underwent bidirectional or major ABO mismatch transplantation, there was increased transfusion need, delayed red cell and platelet engraftment, red cell aplasia and increased severity of acute GVHD. This was associated with higher non-relapse mortality and shortened disease free survival and overall survival in the setting of reduced intensity hematopoietic cell transplantation.
Imputability grade:
1 Possible
