Background. The lack of an accepted definition of transplantation-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) has led the Blood and Marrow Transplants Clinical Trials Network (CTN) and International Working Group (IWG) to propose a definition for TMA with some differences. However, there have been few studies validating and comparing both newly proposed criteria for TMA. Methods. To validate recently proposed criteria for TMA by CTN and IWG, we analyzed 672 patients who underwent allogeneic stem-cell transplantation between January 2002 and December 2006. Results. The cumulative incidences of TMA by CTN and IWG were 6.1% and 2.5%, respectively. The cumulative incidence of overall TMA (O-TMA) including probable-TMA defined as meeting CTN criteria without renal or neurologic dysfunction, as well as TMA by CTN (definite-TMA), was 12.7%. Sixty-six percent of TMA by CTN did not have any degree of schistocytosis by IWG criteria (>= 4%), and 18% of TMA by IWG criteria did not have renal or neurologic dysfunction. On multivariate analyses, probable-TMA as well as definite-TMA adversely affected the survival of a cohort including all patients. In patients with O-TMA, the degree of schistocytosis (>= 4% or not) failed to show prognostic significance, whereas renal involvement was a significant prognostic factor associated with poor survival. Conclusions. Both proposed consensus criteria have major pitfalls in their use as uniformly accepted diagnostic criteria for TMA. The use of O-TMA as a broad definition for TMA and the grading system by the presence of renal involvement may be a counterproposal for future trials.
