Abstract: Objective To analysis the effectiveness of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) for treatment of children with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and to identify the possible prognostic factors for treatment. Methods We retrospectively reviewed outcomes of children with AML who underwent allo-HSCT at Hematology Oncology Center of Beijing Children's Hospital, Capital Medical University between January of 2006 and January of 2016. The overall survival (OS) were estimated by Kaplan-Meier method, Log-rank test was used to compare the different groups and prognostic factors were evaluated by Cox regression. Results A total of 46 patients were involved, with 31 patients survived, and 15 patients died, 8 patients relapsed, with an average follow-up time of 27 months. 5 years OS was (61.1±8.7)%, median survival time was 77.3 months, and 5 years cumulative relapse rate was(16.0±6.0)%. The results of Log-rank test indicated no significant difference (P>0.05) with different protocol, remission state, remission times, graft versus-host disease (GVHD) and donors. The Cox regression suggested myeloid sarcoma and the relapse are the prognostic factors (P<0.05). Conclusion Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is an effective treatment for AML, especially, refractory/relapsed AML. With the modified conditioning regimen and supportive treatment, the survival rate is increasing year by year. Myeloid sarcoma and relapse are important adverse prognostic factors of HSCT treatment for AML.
