目的 分析极重型/重型再生障碍性贫血(V/SAA)患者一线免疫抑制治疗(IST)迟发血液学反应特征,探讨难治性V/SAA尽早二次治疗的合理性.方法 回顾性分析一线接受IST的533例V/SAA患者临床资料,定义IST后6个月内获得血液学反应为应时反应,定义6~12个月获得血液学反应为迟发反应,观察迟发反应的发生率、血液学反应质量及其影响因素.结果 533例患者中,45例(8.44%)获得迟发反应,占未获得应时反应且继续接受环孢素A治疗患者的29.03%(45/155).至IST后12个月及随访结束时迟发反应组血液学反应质量均劣于应时反应组(χ^2=62.616,P<0.001和χ^2=6.299,P=0.043).迟发反应组VSAA患者比例高于应时反应组(57.8%对38.3%,P=0.013),外周血网织红细胞(ARC)比例、ARC计数以及ANC更低,多因素分析显示治疗前ARC<10× 10^9/L的患者获得应时反应的机会明显减少[OR=3.641 (95% CI 1.1718~7.719),P=0.001];未发现独立预测IST后6个月无效患者获得迟发血液学反应的因素.6个月未获血液学反应患者5年总生存率为76.50%(95% CI 71.6%~81.4%)、无事件生存率为29.10%(95% CI 25.2%~33.0%),均显著低于应时反应组患者的97.6%(95%CI96.6%~98.6%)、84.0%(95% CI81.1%~86.9%)(P值均<0.001).结论 V/SAA患者IST获得迟发血液学反应难以预测,比例较小,疗效质量相对较差.难治性V/SAA患者尽早进行挽救治疗是合理的.
Objective To explore the characteristics of delayed hematologic response in very/ severe aplastic anemia (V/SAA) patients who were treated with immunosuppressive treatment (IST) as first-line approach,and investigate the rationality of early salvage treatment in refractory patients.Methods The data of V/SAA patients front-line treated with IST were retrospectively analyzed.Delayed response was defined as acquiring hematologic response between 6 and 12 months after 1 course of IST.The clinical as well as hematologic characteristics of the delayed responded patients were investigated.Results Of the 533 patients,45 (8.44%,45/533) were delayed hematologic responders,which accounted for 29.03% (45/155) of the whole non-responders at 6 months.The quality of response in delayed responders analyzed at 12 months (χ^2=62.616,P 〈 0.001) and at the end of follow-up (χ^2=6.299,P=0.043) was significantly worse than that of robust response group.There were more VSAA patients in delayed response group compared with robust response group (57.8% vs 38.3%,P=0.013),and all the baseline absolute reticulocyte (ARC) count,ARC proportion and absolute neutrophil count (ANC) were much lower than that in delayed response group.Multivariate analysis about the above 2 groups showed that the baseline ARC count 〈10 × 10^9/L significanty reduced the chance of hematologic response within 6 months [OR=3.641 (95% CI 1.718-7.719),P=0.001],and not any factor was found to predict delayed hematologic response in non-responders at 6 months.The 5-year overall survival of 76.50% (95% CI 71.6%-81.4%)and event free survival of 29.10% (95% CI 25.2%-33.0%) in non-responders at 6 months,both were worse than 97.6% (95% CI 96.6%-98.6%) and 84.0% (95% CI 81.1%-86.9%) (P 〈 0.001) of robust response group.Conclusion The incidence of delayed hematologic response in V/SAA patients by IST is low.The quality of delayed response is not satisfactory and there is no effective means to predict the delaye
