AbstractA retrospective cohort of 163 children with 171 hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) performed during Mar. 1992-Dec. 2005 were analyzed to evaluate the incidence, risk factors, management, and outcome of hemorrhagic cystitis (HC). Fourteen patients (8.2%) developed HC (6 boys, median age 6.6 years) at 0-166 days after HSCT (median 25 days), and lasted for 3-96 days (median 26 days). Older age at transplant (median 11.0 vs. 6.4 years, P = 0.013), allogeneic transplant (OR = 4.4, P = 0.02), cyclophosphamide-containing conditioning (OR = 4.87, P = 0.008), moderate-to-severe acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) (OR = 3.56, P = 0.025) and hepatic GVHD (OR = 3.62, P = 0.017) were associated with higher risks of HC in univariate but not multivariate analyses. While estrogen was ineffective in most patients, intravesical formalin, which was used in five patients, was found to be a very effective yet safe treatment for intractable HC. Patients with HC had longer hospital stay (median 175 vs. 88 days, P = 0.004). HC resolved after treatments in all cases but eight of the 14 patients subsequently died of other complications of HSCT. In conclusion, HC is a serious complication of allogeneic HSCT. Treatment with intravesical formalin appears effective and safe and can be considered early in severe HC to reduce the risk of morbidity and mortality. © 2006 The Authors.
