Abstract

Osteonecrosis (ON) was prospectively assessed in 557 children and adolescents in the Berlin-Frankfurt-Munster Stem Cell Transplantation in children with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia 2003 trial. Median age at haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) was 103years (range 05-26). Cumulative incidence of symptomatic ON (sON) was 9% at 5years (standard deviation 1%), median time from HSCT to diagnosis of sON was 124months (range 1-126). Multivariate analysis identified age at HSCT [10-15years vs. <10years: hazard ratio (HR) 373, P=0009;>15years vs. <10years: HR 546, P=0001], diagnosis of sON prior to HSCT and chronic graft-versus-host disease (yes versus no: HR 2696, P=0015) as significant independent risk factors for the development of sON.
