Abstract

Hepatic grading systems for categorizing severity in chronic graft versus host disease (cGvHD) were determined arbitrarily, leading us to initiate the present study to provide objective evidence for the determination of optimal cut-off values and devise a hepatic grading system to predict prognosis. Of 842 patients who received allogeneic hematopoietic stem transplant (HCT), 336 patients diagnosed with cGvHD were evaluated for overall survival (OS) and non-relapse mortality (NRM) after cGVHD development. Multiple statistical parameters were evaluated to define optimal cut-off values of liver profile, including negative- (NPV), positive-predictive value (PPV), accuracy, and p-values as measures of risk stratification power. We found that alkaline phosphatase (ALP) ≥ 146 IU/L (NPV 83.4%, PPV 32.8%, accuracy 52.7%) and bilirubin ≥ 14 µmol/L (NPV 81.8%, PPV 39.4%, accuracy 68.1%) significantly correlated with OS. We developed a refined hepatic-cGvHD grading score (RHS), stratifying patients into a low RHS group with RHS score 0 OS at 3y (n=162) to 80.5%, compared to high RHS group with score 1-2 (n=172) 62.7%. Regarding NRM, score 0 segregated NRM at 3y to 11.9%, compared to score 1-2 19.6% p=0.09. RHS is promising for stratifying patients with cGVHD and liver involvement according to long-term outcomes.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 10 January 2021.
All research outputs
#22,774,430
of 25,387,668 outputs
Outputs from European Journal of Haematology
#1,635
of 1,864 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#455,376
of 525,858 outputs
Outputs of similar age from European Journal of Haematology
#38
of 43 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,387,668 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,864 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.9. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 525,858 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 43 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
