Abstract
A retrospective analysis was conducted based on the clinical data from 60 patients older than 16 years from January 2016 to January 2021. All the patients were newly diagnosed with severe aplastic anemia (SAA) with an absolute neutrophil count (ANC) of zero. We compared the hematological response and survival of haploidentical–allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HID-HSCT) (n = 25) and intensive immunosuppressive therapy (IST) (n = 35) treatments. At six months, the overall response rate and complete response were significantly higher in the HID-HSCT group than those in the IST group (84.0% vs. 40.0%, P = 0.001; 80.0% vs. 17.1%, P = 0.001). With a median follow-up of 18.5 months (4.3~30.8 months), patients in the HID-HSCT group had longer overall survival and event-free survival (80.0% vs. 47.9%, P = 0.0419; 79.2% vs. 33.5%, P = 0.0048). These data suggested that HID-HSCT might be an effective alternative treatment option for adult patients with SAA with an ANC of zero, which requires further validation in an additional prospective study.
