HLH: Prospective Validation of the OHI Index
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) associated with hematologic malignancies (HM-HLH) is a syndrome with an abysmal prognosis (10-30% 5 years overall survival). We have recently established an improved diagnostic and prognostic index for HM-HLH, termed the Optimized HLH Inflammatory (OHI) index. The OHI index is comprised of the combined elevation of soluble CD25 (sCD25) > 3,900 U/mL and ferritin >1,000 ng/mL . However, the true incidence and outcomes of HLH/OHI+ in an unselected cohort are unknown and so is the mechanism of HM-HLH.

Detailed Description
The investigators will enroll patients with new/transformed hematologic malignancies. We will follow the patients until the end of the study, report their survival at one year and examine their prognosis.
Study Design
Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
OHI+ patients Adult patients with hematologic malignancies that have sCD25>3,900 U/mL and ferritin >1,000 ng/mL |
|
OHI- patients Adult patients with hematologic malignancies, with sCD25>3,900 U/mL and/or ferritin < 1,000 ng/mL |
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- To assess 365 days mortality of OHI+ and OHI- patients [Mortality rate one year from OHI assessment]
We will use Kaplan-Meier curves to compare survival between OHI+ and OHI- patients
Secondary Outcome Measures
- To determine the incidence of OHI+ patients in our cohort [We will assess the incidence after three years of enrollment]
We will assess the incidence of OHI+ within our cohort (OHI+/total patients enrolled)
