Abstract
Previous studies have explored posthematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) outcomes by race in adults; however, pediatric data addressing this topic are scarce. This retrospective registry study included 238 White (W) and 57 Black (B) children with hematologic malignancies (HM) receiving first allogeneic HCT between 2010 and 2019 at one of the five Florida pediatric HCT centers. We found no differences between W and B children in transplant characteristics, other than donor type. There was a significant difference in use of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-mismatched donors (HLA-MMD) (53% W, 71% B, p = .01). When comparing HLA-MMD use to fully HLA-matched donors, B had relative risk (RR) of 1.47 (95% CI 0.7-3) of receiving a mismatched unrelated donor (MMUD), RR of 2.34 (95% CI 1.2-4.4) of receiving a mismatched related donor (MMRD), and RR of 1.9 (95% CI 0.99-3.6) of receiving a mismatched cord blood donor (MMCBD) HCT, respectively. There was no significant difference in the incidence of aGVHD (48% W, 35% B), p = .1, or cGVHD (19% W, 28% B, p = .1), or primary cause of death. Overall 24-month survival was 61% (95% CI 55%-68%) for W, and 60% (95% CI 48-75) for B children, log-rank p = .7. While HLA matching improved survival in W chil...Continue Reading
