Abstract:
:The principal aim of our study was to investigate whether patients transplanted more than 20 years ago for β-thalassemia major had a different health-related quality of life (HRQoL) compared with the general population. The Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) and the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Bone Marrow Transplant (FACT-BMT) were received from 109 ex-thalassemia patients who underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) during the 1980s and 1990s. Adjusted comparisons were performed separately for patient age at HSCT and the presence or absence of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). Sociodemographic and clinical variables were also analyzed. The median age of our cohort at HSCT and the time of the survey was 12 years (range, 1-36) and 34 years (range, 21-48), respectively, with a median follow-up age of 22.8 years (range, 11.7-30.3). Statistical analysis of data collected more than 20 years after HSCT showed that the long-term HRQoL of ex-thalassemia patients was very similar to that of the general population. Clinical meaningful differences were only found for the general health (GH) scale (-8.9; 95% CI, -15.0 to 2.7, P = .005). Mental health, education level, employment status, marital status, living arrangements, and birth rate were compatible with normal living patterns. The development of GVHD and older age at transplantation were important impairing factors. Additional analyses performed to evaluate HRQoL in an age-sex-matched cohort of 124 patients receiving conventional treatment of β-thalassemia revealed poorer outcomes compared with the cohort of transplanted patients.
