Abstract

Haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) recipients are at risk for severe respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection. Two prognostic scores have been proposed to predict the risk of progression from upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) to lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) and death. This was a multicentre study of allogeneic HSCT recipients diagnosed with an RSV infection between 2010 and 2019 who were retrospectively stratified by the immunodeficiency scoring index (ISI) and the severe immunodeficiency (SID) score. Endpoints were overall survival, RSV-attributable mortality and progression to LRTI after URTI. Prognostic analyses were performed using Cox regression models. We included 147 consecutive patients, including 94 (63.9%) initially diagnosed with URTI and 53 (36.1%) with LRTI. At 90 days, 14 patients had died (survival rate, 90.5%; 95% CI: 85.9-95.3), and nine deaths were attributable to RSV (attributable mortality rate, 5.4%; 95% CI: 2.5-10.0). The cumulative 90-day incidence of LRTI after URTI was 13.8% (95% CI: 7.8-21.6). Neither score showed prognostic value for mortality, while the ISI allowed the prediction of progression to LRTI (p = 0.0008). Our results do not fully replicate the results previously reported in cohorts of HSCT recipients. This may reflect the recent epidemiology of RSV infections in this HSCT cohort.
