Clinical Manifestations and Prognostic Factors of Chronic Ocular Graft-Versus-Host Disease after Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation
Conclusions:Ocular GvHD is an important complication in patients undergoing alloHSCT. Patients who had type A blood type had a significantly higher PEE score than those with other blood types. There was also a significantly higher OSDI score in patients who had donors > 50 years of age, as well as a significantly higher proportion of filamentary keratitis, which can lead to severe corneal complications.DisclosuresNo relevant conflicts of interest to declare.
