    Introduction Autologous blood/bone marrow transplantation (BMT) is the currently accepted treatment for many hematological malignancies
    .

    Although improvements in supportive care regimens have resulted in a significant reduction in early mortality, autologous BMT recipients remain at higher risk of long-term mortality due to long-term disease burden
    .

    The main causes of long-term death include disease recurrence or progression and secondary malignancy (SMN)
    .

    However, the cumulative effect of long-term morbidity and mortality on life expectancy is unclear
    .

    Transplant protocols have changed significantly over the past 30 years, including: increasing patient age at transplant; increasing selection of autologous BMT for plasma cell disease (PCD); decline in total body irradiation (TBI) as a pre-transplant treatment; selection of peripheral blood Increase in stem cells (PBSC) as a source of stem cells
    .

    However, researchers are not yet clear about the impact of these factors on mortality and life expectancy
    .

    Based on this, some researchers conducted a BMT survivor study to explore the trends of long-term mortality and life expectancy in patients who survived ≥2 years after BMT treatment
    .

    Research Methods The BMT Survivor Study is a collaborative research project between City of Hope National Medical Center, the University of Minnesota and the University of Alabama at Birmingham
    .

    The study included patients who survived ≥2 years after receiving BMT at three medical centers in 2014 and prior
    .

    The primary exposure variables in the study population were four different periods of BMT treatment: 1981-1999; 2000-2005; 2006-2010; and 2011-2014
    .

    The follow-up deadline was April 19, 2021
    .

    Results Patient Baseline Characteristics A total of 4702 patients were included in the study, the median age at BMT was 53 years (range: 0-78 years), 58.
    7% were male, 67.
    8% were non-Hispanic Caucasian, 28.
    3 % of patients received BMT between 2011-2014
    .

    Median follow-up after BMT was 9 years (range: 2-36 years)
    .

    PCD was the most common cause of BMT (42.
    3%)
    .

    91.
    6% of patients chose PBSC as the source of stem cells during transplantation, and 23.
    1% received TBI as pre-transplant treatment
    .

    Stratified by four periods (1981-1999; 2000-2005; 2006-2010; 2011-2014), the median age at BMT increased from 40 to 58 years, the proportion of PCD patients increased from 13.
    7% to 60.
    0%, The proportion of patients receiving PBSC as a stem cell source increased from 66.
    6% to 99.
    5%; while patients receiving TBI as pre-transplant therapy decreased from 56.
    4% to 5.
    2%, and patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML)/myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) ) in patients receiving BMT decreased from 15.
    4% to 0.
    2%
    .

    The specific baseline characteristics are shown in Table 1
    .

    Table 1 Mortality and life expectancy Mortality 2-30 years after BMT was higher than expected, with a U-shaped curve, with greater differences between patients with the shortest and longest follow-up; 2-year mortality after BMT was 39.
    2/1000 Person/year, the 30-year mortality rate after BMT was 54.
    1/1000 person/year
    .

    Mortality rates were higher than expected for transplant patients of all ages; mortality rates for transplant patients >30 years of age were increasing compared with the general population
    .

    The risk of all-cause mortality in this study cohort was 2.
    1 times that of the general population (95% CI, 2.
    0-2.
    2)
    .

    Specifically as shown in Figure 1
    .

    Figure 1 With the premise of ≥2 years of survival after BMT, the patient's life expectancy was reduced by 7.
    0 years, or a reduction of 25.
    8%
    .

    Younger patients lost more years of life, and older patients lost the least
    .

    Specifically as shown in Figure 2
    .

    Figure 2 is stratified by four periods, with a 9.
    4% reduction in life expectancy in 2011-2014 and an 18.
    5% reduction in life expectancy in 1981-1999
    .

    After adjusting for relevant demographic and clinical variables, the 5-year hazard ratio for all-cause mortality was referenced from 1981 to 1999, and decreased for the remaining three periods
    .

    Specifically as shown in Figure 3
    .

    Figure 3 Unadjusted 5-year hazard ratios for all-cause mortality for the four periods are comparable
    .

    Adjusting for age at BMT and primary diagnosis, both reduced the hazard ratio for mortality
    .

    After adjustment for age at BMT, primary diagnosis, and TBI, late mortality was further reduced from 1981-1999 to 2011-2014
    .

    Results of analyses stratified by age at BMT (≤40 years; 41-64 years; ≥65 years) showed significant reductions in long-term all-cause mortality in patients ≥65 years across four periods; results of stratified analyses by early diagnosis , PCD and Hodgkin lymphoma patients had a significant reduction in long-term all-cause mortality in four periods; stratified analysis according to TBI results showed a significant reduction in long-term all-cause mortality in four periods in patients who did not receive TBI
    .

    The long-term mortality risk was predicated on survival in the first 2 years after BMT, and the 25-year overall survival rate for the entire study cohort was 41.
    0%
    .

    Factors associated with long-term all-cause mortality included older age at BMT (41-64 years: HR=2.
    47, 95%CI, 2.
    14-2.
    86; ≥65 years: HR=3.
    69, 95%CI, 3.
    08-4.
    42; ref.
    Age group: 0-40 years), male (HR=1.
    17, 95%CI, 1.
    07-1.
    28) and high-risk disease (HR=1.
    34; 95%CI, 1.
    20-1.
    50)
    .

    The details are shown in Table 2
    .

    Table 2 Among the 2132 patients who died, 1898 (89.
    0%) could know the cause of death
    .

    Causes of death included relapse-related death (RRM, 47.
    4%), non-relapse death (NRM, 44.
    0%), and external causes (1.
    6%)
    .

    The 25-year cumulative incidence of RRM was 23.
    8% (95% CI, 22.
    5-25.
    2) and NRM was 25.
    9% (95% CI, 24.
    0-27.
    7)
    .

    The most common causes of NRM included infection (n=361), SMN (n=346), cardiovascular disease (n=260) and renal disease (n=165)
    .

    The 25-year cumulative incidence of infection-related death was 9.
    7%, with a standard mortality ratio (SMR) of 8.
    1
    .

    Multivariate analysis indicated that older age at BMT, high-risk disease, and PCD were predictors of infection-related mortality
    .

    The 25-year cumulative incidence of SMN-related death was 9.
    8%, with an SMR of 5.
    7
    .

    Types of SMN include hematologic SMN (treatment-related myeloid tumors [t-MN: n=124] and others [n=23]) and solid SMN (gastrointestinal tumors [n=56], lung tumors [n=23]) 47] and others [n=93])
    .

    Multivariate analysis indicated that older age at BMT was a predictor of mortality associated with all SMN, t-MN, and solid SMN, whereas male sex was a predictor of mortality associated with solid SMN
    .

    Mortality and life expectancy of BMT recipients in recent years The study collated data from 2546 patients who received BMT between 2006 and 2014
    .

    With survival ≥2 years as a precondition, the risk of all-cause mortality in this subgroup was 9.
    1 times higher than that in the general population (95% CI, 8.
    51-9.
    69), and the 15-year overall survival rate was 53.
    4%
    .

    The 15-year cumulative incidence of RRM was 22.
    3% and NRM was 17.
    4%
    .

    Factors associated with RRM include older age at BMT, high-risk disease, and PCD
    .

    Factors associated with NRM included older age at BMT, male gender, Asian ethnicity, high-risk disease, pre-transplant TBI treatment, and use of bone marrow as a source of stem cells
    .

    Compared with the normal population, the life expectancy of this group of patients was shortened by 4.
    4 years
    .

    CONCLUSIONS The findings suggest that long-term mortality in BMT recipients decreased over a 30-year period
    .

    However, further control of the development of infections, secondary tumors, cardiovascular and renal diseases is needed to reduce long-term mortality
