To study the factors affecting the time to onset of ocular GVHD in patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). A retrospective chart review of 200 patients with ocular GVHD was performed to evaluate the association between various donor-recipient characteristics on the time to onset of ocular GVHD after allo-HSCT. The median time to onset of chronic ocular GVHD after allo-HSCT was 293 days (range 26 to 2308). Patients receiving fully HLA-matched transplants had a delayed onset of ocular GVHD (median 294 days) compared to mismatched transplants (219 days; P=0.029). HLA-matched transplants from related donors had delayed onset of ocular GVHD (307 days) compared to HLA-matched (286 days; P=0.168) and HLA-mismatched (231 days; P=0.015) transplants from unrelated donors. Ocular GVHD followed systemic GVHD in 76% of patients but preceded systemic disease in 7%, occurred concurrently in 15%, and was not associated with systemic GVHD in 2% of patients. The time elapsed between the occurrence of systemic and ocular GVHD was significantly longer in matched-related transplants (250 days) than in matched-unrelated transplants (120 days; P=0.004). The onset of ocular GVHD after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is variable and is influenced by the donor-recipient matching characteristics. In the majority of patients with GVHD ocular involvement follows the occurrence of systemic manifestations; however, importantly, it can also precede or develop independently of systemic disease in a minority. Regular ophthalmic follow-up is recommended after allo-HSCT regardless the concurrent systemic GVHD status.
