We tested the hypothesis that changes in our transplant practice have improved outcomes over the last decade. To explore correlates of improved outcomes, we analyzed the frequency and severity of graft-versus-host disease and hepatic, renal, pulmonary and infectious complications. During 1993–1997 and 2003–2007, 1418 and 1148 patients received their first allogeneic transplants at our Center. Outcome measures included non-relapse mortality, recurrent malignancy, overall mortality, and the frequency and severity of major complications across this decade. Components of the Pretransplant Assessment of Mortality (PAM) score were used in regression models to adjust for severity of illness at the time of transplantation. In comparing outcomes during 1993–1997 and 2003–2007, we observed statistically significant decreases in the hazards of day -200 non-relapse mortality (by 60%), overall non-relapse mortality (by 52%), relapse or progression of malignancy (by 21%), and overall mortality (by 41%), after adjusting for components of the PAM score. Similar results were seen when the analyses were confined to patients receiving myeloablative conditioning therapy. We found statistically significant declines in the risk of more severe GVHD, disease caused by infections (viral, bacterial, and fungal), and damage to the liver, kidneys, and lungs. We document a substantial reduction in the hazard of death related to allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation as well as improved long-term survival over the last decade. Improved outcomes appear to be related to reductions in organ damage, infection, and severe acute GVHD.
