An investigation of the diagnostic, predictive, and prognostic impacts of three colonic biopsy grading systems for acute graft versus host disease.
Acute graft versus host disease (aGvHD) is an important, life-threatening complication after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT). To investigate the value of multiple simultaneous colon biopsies in improving diagnostic accuracy in patients with aGvHD, we retrospectively ana...

Acute graft versus host disease (aGvHD) is an important, life-threatening complication after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT). To investigate the value of multiple simultaneous colon biopsies in improving diagnostic accuracy in patients with aGvHD, we retrospectively analyzed 157 patients after alloHSCT. The biopsies were evaluated individually using three established histological grading systems (Lerner, Sale, and Melson). The maximum, minimum, median, and mean histological aGvHD grades were calculated for each patient, and the results were correlated with the Glucksberg grade of clinical manifestation of GvHD, steroid therapy status, and outcome. We found that multiple colon biopsies enhanced diagnostic sensitivity. Moreover, higher histological grades correlated with steroid therapy initiation and refractoriness; the latter particularly occurred when advanced damage was present in all samples and healthy colon mucosa was reduced or absent. On multivariate analysis, the minimal Lerner and Glucksberg grades for intestinal aGvHD were significantly associated with steroid treatment failure. Ninety-nine patients died. The median survival was 285 days after the biopsies were taken. Fifteen patients died from relapse of their underling disorder and 84 from other causes, mostly infection (53 patients) and GvHD (14 patients). Multivariate analysis revealed a significant association between none-relapse mortality and the mean Lerner grade, minimum Melson grade, Glucksberg organ stage, and platelet counts.
