Sažetak
Aim To identify the factors associated with vitamin D status
in patients with chronic graft-vs-host disease (cGVHD) and
evaluate the association between serum vitamin D (25(OH)
D) levels and cGVHD characteristics and clinical outcomes
defined by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) criteria.
Methods 310 cGVHD patients enrolled in the NIH cGVHD
natural history study (clinicaltrials.gov: NCT00092235)
were analyzed. Univariate analysis and multiple logistic
regression were used to determine the associations between
various parameters and 25(OH)D levels, dichotomized
into categorical variables: ≤20 and >20 ng/mL, and
as a continuous parameter. Multiple logistic regression was
used to develop a predictive model for low vitamin D. Survival
analysis and association between cGVHD outcomes
and 25(OH)D as a continuous as well as categorical variable:
≤20 and >20 ng/mL; <50 and ≥50 ng/mL, and among
three ordered categories: ≤20, 20-50, and ≥50 ng/mL, was
performed.
Results 69 patients (22.3%) had serum 25(OH)D ≤20 ng/
mL. Univariate analysis showed that supplement intake,
nutritional status (severely malnourished, moderately malnourished,
well-nourished), race (African-American, other),
and estimated creatinine clearance (eCCr) were associated
with 25(OH)D levels. A predictive model was developed
based on supplement intake, nutritional status, race, and
eCCr, accurately predicting 77.9% of patients with 25(OH)
D ≤20 and 65.2% of those with 25(OH)D >20 ng/mL. No association
was found between vitamin D and major cGVHD
characteristics, but patients with 25(OH)D ≤20 ng/mL had
somewhat decreased survival.
Conclusion Nutritional status and adequate supplementation
are important to maintain 25(OH)D >20 ng/mL in
cGVHD patients. Intervention studies and more research is
needed to reveal the underlying mechanism of vitamin D
metabolism in cGVHD setting.
