In patients with severe congenital neutropenia (SCN), sepsis mortality is reduced by treatment with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), but myelodsyplastic syndrome and acute myeloid leukemia (MDS/AML) have been reported. We studied 374 patients with SCN and 29 patients with Shwachman-Diamond syndrome (SDS) on long-term G-CSF enrolled in the Severe Chronic Neutropenia International Registry. In SCN, sepsis mortality was stable at 0.9% per year. The hazard of MDS/AML increased significantly over time, from 2.9% per year after 6 years to 8.0% per year after 12 years on G-CSF. After 10 years, the cumulative incidence was 8% for sepsis mortality and 21% for MDS/AML. A subgroup of SCN patients (29%) received more than the median dose of G-CSF (> or = 8 microg/kg/d), but achieved less than the median absolute neutrophil count (ANC) response (ANC < 2.188 x 10(9)/L [2188/microL] at 6-18 months). In these less-responsive patients, the cumulative incidence of adverse events was highest: after 10 years, 40% developed MDS/AML and 14% died of sepsis, compared with 11% and 4%, respectively, of more responsive patients whose ANC was above the median on doses of G-CSF below the median. Risk of MDS/AML may be similar in SDS and SCN. In less-responsive SCN patients, early hematopoietic stem cell transplantation may be a rational option.
在严重先天性中性粒细胞减少症(SCN)患者中,使用粒细胞集落刺激因子(G-CSF)治疗可降低败血症死亡率,但已有骨髓增生异常综合征和急性髓系白血病(MDS/AML)的报道。我们研究了374例SCN患者和29例施瓦茨曼-戴蒙德综合征(SDS)患者,这些患者长期接受G-CSF治疗并被纳入严重慢性中性粒细胞减少症国际注册研究。在SCN患者中,败血症死亡率稳定在每年0.9%。MDS/AML的风险随时间显著增加,在接受G-CSF治疗6年后为每年2.9%,12年后为每年8.0%。10年后,败血症死亡率的累积发生率为8%,MDS/AML为21%。SCN患者的一个亚组(29%)接受的G-CSF剂量超过中位数(≥8μg/kg/d),但其绝对中性粒细胞计数(ANC)反应低于中位数(6至18个月时ANC<2.188×10⁹/L[2188/μL])。在这些反应较差的患者中,不良事件的累积发生率最高:10年后,40%发生MDS/AML,14%死于败血症,而反应较好、ANC高于中位数且G-CSF剂量低于中位数的患者中,这两个比例分别为11%和4%。SDS和SCN患者发生MDS/AML的风险可能相似。对于反应较差的SCN患者,早期造血干细胞移植可能是一个合理的选择。
