Journal ArticleDOI

Natural history of pulmonary complications in children after bone marrow transplantation

TL;DR: Although pathogen identification does not confer a survival advantage, rigorous, prospective screening may allow for earlier identification of pathogens and thereby provide a benefit to this uniquely vulnerable population.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hematopoietic cell transplantation comorbidity index predicts transplantation outcomes in pediatric patients

TL;DR: The results indicate that the HCT-CI score predicts NRM and OS in pediatric patients undergoing HCT and is a useful tool to assess risk, guide counseling in the pretransplantation setting, and devise innovative therapies for the highest risk groups.
Journal ArticleDOI

Response to thalidomide therapy in refractory chronic graft-versus-host disease.

TL;DR: It is concluded that thalidomide is a useful and well-tolerated therapy for patients with previously treated refractory chronic GVHD, including those with progressive onset of chronic GvHD, recipients of unrelated donor marrow, and children.
Journal ArticleDOI

Extramedullary Relapse of Acute Myelogenous Leukemia after Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation: Better Prognosis Than Systemic Relapse

TL;DR: GVHD and its accompanying graft-versus-leukemia effect may better protect BM sites, but patients with EM relapse have better responses to combined therapy and improved survival compared with those with BM relapse.
Journal ArticleDOI

Unrelated donor bone marrow transplantation for children and adolescents with aplastic anaemia or myelodysplasia.

TL;DR: Early referral for consideration of unrelated donor BMT for young patients with MDS, and patients with SAA without response to immunosuppression are recommended.
