Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) are common blood-borne infections. The frequency of HBV reactivation in myeloma patients has increased in the era of novel agents because bortezomib administration may be considered a possible risk factor for HBV reactivation [1, 2]. In allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT), liver complications are well recognized in patients with HCV infection [3, 4]. However, no consensus has been reached concerning HBV or HCV infection influence on autologous HCT (auto-HCT) outcomes in myeloma patients. Here we present the first large retrospective analysis demonstrating the impact of HBV or HCV infection on outcomes in myeloma patients who have undergone auto-HCT. A total of 4735 patients aged≥ 16 years, who received first auto-HCT for myeloma with peripheral blood stem cells performed between 2007 and 2018. HBV positivity was defined as the presence of either the HBV core antibody or surface antigen. HCV positivity was defined as the presence of anti-HCV antibodies. Moreover, detailed viral load data were unavailable for both HBV and HCV. We excluded HBV-and HCV-coinfected patients from the analyses because of their small number. High-risk cytogenetic abnormalities of fluorescence in situ hybridization analyses are partially performed in Japan because of issues with insurance coverage. Thus, the variable “cytogenetic risk” was excluded from the analysis. Overall survival (OS) was estimated using the Kaplan–Meier method and compared between groups using the log-rank test. One-year transplant-related mortality (TRM) was estimated using a cumulative incidence analysis and compared between groups using Gray’s test. Multivariate analysis was conducted using the Cox proportional hazards model for OS. All p-values were from two-tailed tests; p-values< 0.05 indicated statistical significance. All statistical analyses were performed using EZR (Saitama Medical Center, Jichi Medical University, Saitama, Japan), a graphical user interface for the R (The R Foundation for Statistical Computing, version 2.7–0)[5]. Of 4735 eligible patients, 4546 (96.0%) were both HBV-and HCV-negative, 143 (3.0%) were HBV-positive, and 46 (1.0%) were HCV-positive. The median age of the patients was 59 (range, 18–77) years, and the median follow-up time was 1085 (range, 0–4547) days. The characteristics of the cohort are summarized in Supplementary Table 1. There were not significant differences among the HBV-and HCV-negative patients, HBV-positive patients, and HCV-positive patients, except for the HCT-specific comorbidity index (P= 0.012). The OS after transplantation between HBV-and HCV-negative patients and HBV-positive patients did not differ significantly (67.4%[95% confidence interval (CI): 65.5–69.1%] and 63.6%[95% CI: 51.3–73.6%] at 5 years, respectively; P= 0.43)(Fig. 1 a). Further, 1-year TRM after transplantation also did not differ significantly (1.2%[95% CI: 0.9–1.5%] and 1.5%[95% CI: 0.3–4.8%], respectively; P= 0.95)(Fig. 1 b). The OS after transplantation between HBV-and HCV-negative patients and HCV-positive patients differed significantly (67.4%[95% CI: 65.5–69.1%] and 52.3%[95% CI: 32.8–68.6%] at 5 years, respectively; P= 0.035)(Fig. 1 a). However, 1-year TRM after transplantation did not differ significantly (1.2%[95% CI: 0.9–1.5%] and 2.4%[95% CI: 0.2–10.9%], respectively; P= 0.44)(Fig. 1 b). Multivariate analysis revealed that HCV positivity was a significant adverse factor with respect to OS (hazard ratio [HR], 1.74 [95% CI, 1.06–2.85]; P= 0.029) but HBV positivity was not (HR, 1.00 [95% CI, 0.68–1.48], P= 0.99)(Supplementary Table 2 …
