While neutropenic enterocolitis (NEC) is a well-known life-threatening complication during intensive chemotherapy, its incidence, impact and outcome on specific at-risk populations remain ill-defined.
We report 178 NEC episodes during 1963 myeloablative chemotherapy courses among 1259 adult patients with acute myeloid (AML) or lymphoid (ALL) leukemia or receiving autologous hematopoietic stem cell-transplant (auto-HCT) for lymphoma or multiple myeloma. Risk factors were assessed by multivariate logistic regression models.
Most NEC cases (93.3%) occurred during AML induction (N=92, 13.8% of chemotherapy course) and auto-HCT (N=74, 9.5%). Independent risk factors for NEC during AML induction included high-dose corticosteroids (OR=2.07, 95%CI 1.29-3.30, P=0.002), elevated circulating blasts at the time of diagnosis (>50 G/L, OR=2.02, 95%CI 1.15-3.56, P=0.02) and use of azacitidine (OR=2.45, 95%CI 1.01-5.90, P=0.05); purine-based regimens (e.g. FLAG-Ida) was an independent protective factor (OR=0.27, 95%CI 0.15-0.47, P<0.001). Independent risk factors after auto-HCT included BEAM versus another conditioning protocol (OR=3.28; 95%CI 1.98-5.43, P<0.001) and age (OR=1.03 per year, 95%CI 1.01-1.06, P=0.007). For both AML induction and auto-HCT, NEC was associated with longer hospitalization (P=0.03 and P<0.001), sepsis (quick SOFA≥2, P=0.03 and P<0.001), fungemia (P<0.001 and P=0.01) and intensive care admission (P=0.03 and P<0.001, respectively). NEC was associated with increased in-hospital mortality during AML induction (6.5% versus 2.4%, P=0.04) but not during auto-HCT (P=0.3).
The incidence of NEC depended on chemotherapeutic regimens, with higher occurrence during standard "7+3" AML induction and BEAM conditioning for auto-HCT. NEC was associated with longer hospitalization and increased morbidity, but 30-day mortality was lower than previously reported.
虽然中性粒细胞减少性小肠结肠炎(NEC)是强化化疗期间一种众所周知的危及生命的并发症,但其在特定高危人群中的发病率、影响和结局仍不明确。
我们报告了1259例成年急性髓系白血病(AML)或淋巴细胞白血病(ALL)患者,或因淋巴瘤或多发性骨髓瘤接受自体造血干细胞移植(auto-HCT)的1963个清髓性化疗疗程中的178例NEC发作。通过多因素逻辑回归模型评估危险因素。
大多数NEC病例(93.3%)发生在AML诱导期(N = 92,占化疗疗程的13.8%)和auto-HCT期(N = 74,占9.5%)。AML诱导期NEC的独立危险因素包括大剂量皮质类固醇(OR = 2.07,95%CI 1.29 - 3.30,P = 0.002)、诊断时循环母细胞升高(>50 G/L,OR = 2.02,95%CI 1.15 - 3.56,P = 0.02)以及使用阿扎胞苷(OR = 2.45,95%CI 1.01 - 5.90,P = 0.05);基于嘌呤的方案(如FLAG-Ida)是独立的保护因素(OR = 0.27,95%CI 0.15 - 0.47,P < 0.001)。auto-HCT后的独立危险因素包括BEAM方案与另一种预处理方案相比(OR = 3.28;95%CI 1.98 - 5.43,P < 0.001)和年龄(每年OR = 1.03,95%CI 1.01 - 1.06,P = 0.007)。对于AML诱导期和auto-HCT,NEC均与住院时间延长相关(P = 0.03和P < 0.001)、脓毒症(快速序贯器官衰竭评估≥2,P = 0.03和P < 0.001)、真菌血症(P < 0.001和P = 0.01)以及入住重症监护病房相关(分别为P = 0.03和P < 0.001)。NEC与AML诱导期住院死亡率增加相关(6.5%对2.4%,P = 0.04),但与auto-HCT期间无关(P = 0.3)。
NEC的发病率取决于化疗方案,在标准的“7 + 3”AML诱导期和auto-HCT的BEAM预处理期间发生率更高。NEC与住院时间延长和发病率增加相关,但30天死亡率低于先前报道。
