PG - ofab639 LID - 10.1093/ofid/ofab639 [doi] LID - ofab639 AB - BACKGROUND: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) causes substantial morbidity and mortality after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). There are limited data on risk factors for CMV viremia and the safety of antiviral medications used to treat CMV in children. METHODS: We conducted a single-center retrospective study of children who underwent HSCT between 2000 and 2016. We used log-logistic regression to evaluate associations between clinical characteristics and CMV-free survival at 100 days after HSCT. We compared the incidences of laboratory-defined adverse events (AEs) during treatment with ganciclovir and foscarnet. RESULTS: Among 969 children, the median (interquartile range) age was 6.5 (3.1-11.5) years, and 80% underwent allogeneic HSCT. Two hundred forty-four (25%) children developed CMV viremia. Older age (odds ratio [OR], 0.95; 95% CI, 0.92-0.98), male sex (OR, 0.71; 95% CI, 0.51-0.99), non-Black, non-White race (OR, 0.56; 95% CI, 0.36-0.87), umbilical cord blood donor source (OR, 0.28; 95% CI, 0.08-0.97), and CMV seropositivity (R-/D+: OR, 0.17; 95% CI, 0.07-0.41; R+/D-: OR, 0.14; 95% CI, 0.09-0.21; R+/D+: OR, 0.08; 95% CI, 0.04-0.15) were associated with lower odds of 100-day CMV-free survival. Compared with foscarnet, ganciclovir was associated with lower incidences of thrombocytopenia (incidence rate ratio [IRR], 0.38; 95% CI, 0.15-0.97), electrolyte AEs (IRR, 0.42; 95% CI, 0.24-0.75), endocrine AEs (IRR, 0.52; 95% CI, 0.34-0.79), and renal AEs (IRR, 0.36; 95% CI, 0.19-0.65). CONCLUSIONS: CMV viremia occurred commonly among children after HSCT, and ganciclovir and foscarnet were associated with distinct toxicity profiles among children with CMV infection. These findings should be considered when developing CMV prevention and treatment strategies for children after HSCT. CI - (c) The Author(s) 2021.
