HokUS-10 scoring system predicts the treatment outcome for sinusoidal obstruction syndrome after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

ABSTRACT: Hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) is a severe and life-threatening complication after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). We conducted a multi-center retrospective study to evaluate the utility of our ultrasonographic scoring system for the diagnosis of SOS (HokUS-10) in predicting SOS-related mortality (SOS-RM). We analyzed a total of 42 patients who developed SOS after HSCT. The cumulative incidences of SOS-RM, non-relapse mortality (NRM), and overall survival at day 180 after the diagnosis of SOS were 26.4%, 28.8% and 54.5%, respectively. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that the optimal cut-off value of HokUS-10 total score to predict SOS-RM was 8 points after the treatment of SOS. In the individual HokUS-10 score, ascites and portal vein flow-related scores (PV mean velocity and PV flow direction) after the treatment of SOS were shown as significant risk factors for SOS-RM. Our study suggested that US findings after the treatment can predict the treatment outcomes for SOS.
