Aplastic anemia (AA) is a rare hematologic disease characterized by pancytopenia and hypocellular marrow. The Korean Society of Pediatric Hematology Oncology investigated retrospectively the incidence, survival, and transfusion independency according to treatment strategies in AA.
All the questionnaires were sent to members for medical records. We collected and analyzed 702 available data.
The male and female ratio was 1.2, and the median age at diagnosis was 9.3 years. The annual incidence of Korean children with AA was 5.16 per million per year. Constitutional anemia was diagnosed in 44 children. In acquired AA, causes were identified in 39 children. Severe AA (SAA) at initial diagnosis was more common than nonsevere AA. The overall survival was 47.8% with supportive care, 68.1% with immunosuppressive therapy (IST), and 81.8% with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. In IST, response rate was 65.7%, and relapse rate after response was 54.4% within a median of 23.0 months. The factors with overall survival were severity of disease in supportive care, severity and response in IST, donor type, graft failure, and posttransplant events in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
Long-term outcome in AA was dependent on treatment strategies. These Korean results may help research and prospective international clinical trials for childhood AA.
再生障碍性贫血(AA)是一种罕见的血液系统疾病,其特征为全血细胞减少和骨髓细胞减少。韩国儿科学血液肿瘤学会根据AA的治疗策略,对其发病率、生存率和输血独立性进行了回顾性研究。
向会员发送所有问卷以获取病历。我们收集并分析了702份可用数据。
男女比例为1.2,诊断时的中位年龄为9.3岁。韩国儿童AA的年发病率为每年百万分之5.16。44名儿童被诊断为先天性贫血。在获得性AA中,39名儿童明确了病因。初诊时重度AA(SAA)比非重度AA更常见。支持治疗的总生存率为47.8%,免疫抑制治疗(IST)为68.1%,造血干细胞移植为81.8%。在IST中,缓解率为65.7%,缓解后复发率在中位23.0个月内为54.4%。支持治疗中总生存的因素包括疾病严重程度、IST中的严重程度和缓解情况、供体类型、移植物失败以及造血干细胞移植后的移植后事件。
AA的长期预后取决于治疗策略。这些韩国的研究结果可能有助于儿童AA的研究和前瞻性国际临床试验。
