Abstrakt: BackgroundNeutropenia is a common complication in lung transplant recipients (LTRs). Filgrastim may be used to treat neutropenia in LTRs, but its consequences on acute cellular rejection (ACR) remain controversial. Objective: The purpose was to examine the association between filgrastim and incidence of ACR 6 months after filgrastim administration in LTRs. Secondary outcomes included burden of ACR, infections, chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD), and survival. Methods: This was a matched cohort study of patients transplanted between January 2010 and October 2019. LTRs who received filgrastim for neutropenia were compared to a cohort who did not. LTRs were matched on transplant indication, sex, age, and time post-transplant and multivariable logistic regression models were used to evaluate the likelihood of ACR. Results: 212 patients were included in the analysis (106 in each group). 50 patients (47.2%) in the filgrastim group experienced ACR compared to 37 patients (34.9%) in the no filgrastim group ( P = .070). In multivariable analysis, filgrastim use was not associated with ACR at 6 months (OR 1.409, 95% CI 0.772-2.571). Time to first ACR was shorter ( P = .049) and 6-month ACR score was higher in the filgrastim group (.49 vs .33, P = .047). LTRs in the filgrastim group had higher incidence of bacterial pneumonia and 1-year mortality. Conclusions: Although not associated with increased likelihood of ACR at 6 months, our study found that filgrastim is associated with increased ACR burden and decreased time to ACR. This study can help inform clinicians of ACR risk after filgrastim use in LTRs.
