Background
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) is the only curative treatment in primary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (pHLH). However, HCT is associated with a wide range of late effects (LEs).
Objective
We sought to characterize the long-term outcome and LEs following HCT in pHLH.
Methods
A total of 274 children with pHLH from the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation registry who underwent allogeneic HCT between 2004 and 2015 were included. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to evaluate the adjusted impact of baseline variables on central nervous system and hormonal LEs, respectively.
Results
A broad spectrum of LEs was identified, with neurologic (31%) and hormonal (34.8%) complications being the most prevalent. Chemotherapy (HLH-1994/HLH-2004) before HCT was identified as a significant risk factor for endocrinological LEs (P = .03), highlighting a novel aspect not previously reported. The presence of neurologic abnormality at diagnosis was an independent risk factor for neurologic LEs (P < .001) as was incomplete remission status at the time of HCT (P = .04).
Conclusions
HCT has significantly improved survival in patients with pHLH. However, survivors still face significant risks of LEs.

Background
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection and vaccination have unclear impacts on type 2 inflammatory diseases. Although viral infections can drive immune dysregulation, the extent to which COVID-19 infection and vaccination affect type 2 inflammatory diseases in various organ systems remains underexplored.
Objective
We sought to assess the risk of new-onset type 2 inflammatory diseases after COVID-19 infection and vaccination.
Methods
We conducted a large-scale retrospective matched cohort study using a US electronic health records database of more than 118 million patients. Three cohorts were defined: individuals with COVID-19 infection (n = 973,794), individuals with COVID-19 vaccination (n = 691,270), and unexposed controls (n = 4,388,409). Propensity score matching balanced demographic and clinical covariates. We calculated hazard ratios (HRs) for incident asthma, allergic rhinitis, chronic rhinosinusitis, atopic dermatitis, and eosinophilic esophagitis over 3-month follow-up.
Results
COVID-19 infection significantly increased the risks of asthma (HR 1.656, 95% CI 1.590-1.725), allergic rhinitis (HR 1.272, 95% CI 1.214-1.333), and chronic rhinosinusitis (HR 1.744, 95% CI 1.671-1.821). Risks for atopic dermatitis or eosinophilic esophagitis remained unchanged. In contrast, vaccination lowered the risks of asthma (HR 0.678, 95% CI 0.636-0.722) and chronic rhinosinusitis (HR 0.799, 95% CI 0.752-0.850). Direct comparison showed a 2- to 3-fold greater risk of respiratory type 2 inflammatory diseases with infection than with vaccination.
Conclusions
COVID-19 infection is associated with a heightened risk of respiratory type 2 inflammatory diseases, whereas vaccination appears protective.

Background
Polyp recurrence (PR) can occur in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) following endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS). We previously constructed a PR prediction model incorporating tissue biomarkers, including eosinophil cationic protein (ECP), IL-5, and anti–double-stranded DNA IgG, as well as clinical variables including the pre-ESS modified Lund-Mackay radiographic score and asthma status.
Objective
Our aim was to develop the model into a risk predictor score (RPS), validate it by using an independent set of patients, and test its ability to stratify patients by time to PR.
Methods
Two prospective cohorts of patients with CRSwNP (training and validation), were evaluated for PR for 2 to 5 years after ESS. Baseline demographics, pre-ESS radiographic and endoscopic assessments, and biomarker levels (using the ELISA and Luminex assays) were collected. The RPS was generated by using the prediction model coefficients as weights. Predictive accuracy was evaluated by using receiver operating characteristic analysis. The combined cohort was stratified into low-, intermediate-, and high-risk groups based on RPS tertiles, and Cox regression was used to analyze associations with time to PR.
Results
The model combining ECP level, IL-5 level, level of anti–double-stranded DNA IgG, asthma status, and pre-ESS modified Lund-Mackay radiographic score reliably predicted PR in the validation set (area under the curve = 0.76), which was comparable to the value found for the training set (area under the curve = 0.89) (DeLong P = .19). Cox regression analysis showed significant differences in recurrence time across RPS tertiles. Patients with a high RPS had a median PR time of 38 months, which was significantly shorter than the PR time in the intermediate group (54 months) and that in the group with the lowest RPS (60 months) (both P values < .01).
Conclusions
This study validated the RPS as a predictor for post-ESS PR in an independent cohort of patients with CRSwNP and demonstrated its effectiveness in identifying high-risk patients with significantly shorter times to recurrence.
