A Refined Risk Score for Acute Graft-versus-Host Disease that Predicts Response to Initial Therapy, Survival, and Transplant-Related Mortality
Open accessAbstract
To develop a novel acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) risk score, we examined the GVHD clinical stage and grade of 1723 patients at the onset of treatment with systemic steroids. Using clinical grouping, descriptive statistics and recursive partitioning, we identified poorly responsive, high-risk (HR) acute GVHD by the number of involved organs and severity of GVHD at onset. The overall response (complete response/partial response) rate 28 days after initiation of steroid therapy for acute GVHD was lower in the 269 patients with HR-GVHD than in the 1454 patients with standard risk (SR)-GVHD (44% [95% confidence interval (CI) 38% to 50%] versus 68% [95% CI, 66% to 70%], P < .001). Patients with HR-GVHD were less likely to respond at day 28 (odds ratio [OR], .3; 95% CI, .2 to .4; P < .001) and had higher risks of mortality (relative risk, 2.1; 95% CI, 1.7 to 2.6; P < .001) and transplant-related mortality (relative risk, 2.5; 95% CI, 2.0% to 3.2%, P < .001) than patients with SR-GVHD. This refined definition of acute GVHD risk is a better predictor of response, survival, and transplant-related mortality than other published acute GVHD risk scores. Patients with HR-GVHD are candidates for studies investigating new treatment approaches. Likewise, patients with SR-GVHD are candidates for studies investigating less toxic therapy.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
