Aplastic Anemia
Fatigue, symptom burden, and health-related quality of life in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome, aplastic anemia, and paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria.
BACKGROUND:
Fatigue is distressing and affects quality of life (QoL) among patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), aplastic anemia (AA), and paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH).
Consider Allogeneic Bone Marrow Transplantation for Older, Fit Patients with Aplastic Anemia
Effective treatment for severe aplastic anemia (SAA) is either allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) [1,2] or nontransplant immunosuppressive therapy (IST) containing antithymocyte globulin (ATG) [3,4]. Both treatment approaches have advanced over the recent decades to achieve significantly improved outcomes.
Immunosuppressive therapy versus haploidentical transplantation in adults with acquired severe aplastic anemia
Our study aimed to compare treatment outcomes between hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) from haploidentical donors (HID) and immunosuppressive therapy (IST) in adults with acquired severe aplastic anemia (SAA). The medical records of 113 SAA adults who received IST, including rabbit ATG and cyclosporin (N = 37), or HID HSCT (N = 76) within 6 months of diagnosis at two institutions were retrospectively reviewed. Estimated 8-year overall survival (OS) was comparable between the IST and HID HSCT groups (75.6 vs.
