We aimed to evaluate prospectively their incidence, risk factors and outcomes.All consecutive patients scheduled to receive allogeneic HSCT between 2006 and 2008, at the university-teaching Saint Louis Hospital (Paris, France) were screened for inclusion. Eligible patients were those surviving at day 100. Among 243 screened patients, 198 patients were included in the analysis. The median follow-up was 72.3 months [IQR: 15.2–88.5]. Fifty-five LONIPCs were diagnosed in 43 patients. Bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (n=22) andinterstitial lung disease (n=12) were the most common LONIPC. At 36 months after inclusion, the estimated cumulative incidence of LONIPCs was 19.8% (95% CI: 14.2–25.3%). The estimated median survival after the diagnosis of LONIPCs was 78.5 months (95% CI: 20.0-not reached). Based on a multivariable Cox model, a history of chest irradiation anytime prior to HSCT, a history of pneumonia within the 100 days post-HSCT and a low mean forced expiratory flow between 25% and 75% of forced vital capacityat day 100 were associated with the development of LONIPCs.Our data provide clues to identify patients at high risk of LONIPCs. These patients should be targeted for close monitoring to provide earlier LONIPC treatment or prophylactic treatment.Chest irradiation, pneumonia and low FEF 25–75 predict lung complications after allogenic bone marrow transplantationFootnotesThis manuscript has recently been accepted for publication in the European Respiratory Journal.
