Popis: Abstract This study aimed to assess haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) safety and efficacy while exploring strategies for optimising outcomes in patients with hepatitis-associated aplastic anaemia (HAAA). We retrospectively reviewed 35 HAAA patients who underwent HSCT at a large Chinese blood disease hospital between 2008 and 2022. HAAA patients receiving HSCT typically presented with severe (28.6%) and very severe (65.7%) AA. Male patients predominated (68.6%), with a median onset age of 23 years (range, 9–44). Haploidentical donor-HSCT and matched sibling donor-HSCT were in comparable proportions. The 5-year overall survival (OS) rate was 74.0%, with cumulative incidences of grade II–IV acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) at 37.1% and 22.4%, respectively. A diagnosis-to-HSCT interval ≥ 75 days, acute GVHD, and post-HSCT liver events (e.g., hepatic GVHD and a three-fold increase in aminotransferase or bilirubin) significantly worsened 5-year OS. In the multivariate models, recipients with sex-matched grafts had better OS, and those with younger male donors had a lower incidence of II–IV aGVHD. Higher HLA matching degree (HLA > = 7/10) was an independent prognostic factor associated with better OS and GFFS. A diagnosis-to-HSCT interval ≥ 75 days was predictive of post-transplant liver events in HAAA patients. In conclusion, HSCT was a safe and effective treatment for HAAA. Early transplantation, careful donor selection and improving post-transplant liver events were crucial to optimise outcomes.
