Popis: Pericardial Effusion (PE) is a potentially life-threatening complication of Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation (HCT). Our study aim was to identify incidence, risk factors, response to treatment, and outcome of PE after pediatric HCT. All patients after HCT at our tertiary center between 2005 and 2010 were included. Endpoints were PE development and overall survival. We analyzed patient factors, HCT details, and complications and used Cox proportional hazard regression modeling to identify predictors for PE. Twelve out of 129 patients (9.3%) developed PE. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that young age at HCT was a predictor for PE: expressed per year increase in age HR = 0.66 (95% CI 0.46–0.95, p = 0.03). PE had no impact on overall mortality of HCT. Mild respiratory symptoms and vomiting were presenting symptoms for PE. Discontinuation of calcineurin inhibitors—with or without pericardiocentesis—was the only effective treatment for PE, in contrast to diuretics or increased immunosuppression. Seven of 12 PE patients had pericardiocentesis, which was safe and effective in all. Pericardial effusion is not rare after HCT, and young age is the only significant risk factor. Calcineurin inhibitor toxicity appears to be the primary cause of PE after HCT, and discontinuation is effective in the reduction of PE. Pericardiocentesis for PE is a safe and effective procedure. Pericardial effusion did not have an impact on survival after HCT.
