Resumo
The morbidity and mortality in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) occur due to infectious complications and constitute the major clinical problems in HSCT recipients. The role of the use of biomarkers in post-HSCT patients is still controversial. To assess the serum values of biomarkers interleukin 6 (IL-6), procalcitonin (PCT) and C-reactive protein (CRP) and risk factors for post-HSCT death. Prospective study conducted in patients submitted to HSCT at a university hospital. Biomarkers (IL-6, PCT and CRP) were assessed on the day afebrile neutropenia was detected, in the febrile event, 24 and 72 h after fever onset and 48 h or 5 days if fever persisted. Patients were compared as to the death outcome within 30 days from the HSCT. Variables with p < 0.15 were included in the multivariate analysis model (MVA) that were performed for all patients included in the study and separated for autologous and allogeneic HSCT patients. 296 patients with ages ranging between 15 and 70 years, neutropenic, submitted to HSCT, being 216 (73 %) autologous and 80 (20 %) allogeneic were assessed. One hundred and ninety (64.2 %) patients presented fever after the transplantation and infection microbiologically controlled in 78 (26.4 %). Twenty-three cases (7.8 %) evolved to death. The risk factors associated with death in the bivariate analysis were age, allogeneic transplantation, unrelated transplantation, GVHD, bloodstream infection by Gram-negative, IL-6 > 140 pg/mL and CRP a parts per thousand yen120 mg/L and the protective ones were lymphoma and hospital outpatient support. The independent variables in the MVA associated with death were allogeneic and unrelated transplantation, blood stream infection (BSI) by Gram-negative, LDH a parts per thousand yen390 UI/L, urea a parts per thousand yen25 mg/dL and CRP a parts per thousand yen120 mg/L for HSCT transplanted patients and BSI due to Gram-negative and CRP a parts per thousand yen120 mg/L for allogeneic HSCT, however, CRP a parts per thousand yen120 mg/L did not remain in the model when urea a parts per thousand yen25 mg/L was included. No independent risk factor was found for autologous patients. Out of the biomarkers assessed, only CRP a parts per thousand yen120 mg/L was independently associated with death. Other risk factors found were: type of transplantation (allogeneic and unrelated), bloodstream infection by Gram-negative, LDH a parts per thousand yen390 UI/L and urea a parts per thousand yen25 mg/dL. For allogeneic patients only CRP a parts per thousand yen120 mg/L and BSI due to Gram-negative were risk factors for death; however, CRP did not remain in the model when urea a parts per thousand yen25 mg/L was included.
