Abstract

Transplant-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (TA-TMA) remains a severe complication after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT). Early prediction of high-risk patients remains challenging, particularly in adults. This prospective observational study consecutively enrolled patients aged >14 years undergoing allo-HCT. TA-TMA was screened and diagnosed according to the harmonization criteria. The 100-day cumulative incidence of TA-TMA was 6.5% (95% CI 4.5–8.9%). Multivariable analyses identified elevated baseline endothelial activation and stress index (EASIX, HR 1.33, p = 0.011) and day 14 sC5b-9 (HR 2.84, p < 0.001) were independently associated with TA-TMA. The optimal cutoff was 217 ng/mL for sC5b-9 and 6.2 for EASIX. Using the cutoffs for the combined EASIX and sC5b-9, patients were stratified into low-, intermediate-, and high-risk groups, with corresponding 100-day incidences of 2.2%, 7.1%, and 32.4%. Compared with the low-risk group, the intermediate- and high-risk groups showed increased risk of TA-TMA (HR 3.29, 95% CI 1.39–7.79; HR 14.32, 95% CI 5.62–36.50, respectively). The risk stratification system showed moderate discrimination, with a time-dependent AUC of 0.75 (95% CI 0.66–0.84). Therefore, baseline EASIX and day14 sC5b-9 were significantly associated with TA-TMA, and their combination may improve early identification of adult patients at high-risk of developing TA-TMA.
