Table 3. Cumulative incidence estimates of cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF) in childhood HCT survivors treated with TBI (n=123).

Outcome N Events 5-year cumulative incidence* (95% CI) 10-year cumulative incidence* (95% CI)
Elevated blood pressure 118 34 14.7 (8.6, 22.4) 28.8 (19.2, 39.2)
Elevated glucose 121 47 10.5 (5.5, 17.3) 33.1 (22.4, 44.1)
Low HDL-cholesterol 116 58 26.8 (18.8, 35.5) 52.0 (40.7, 62.2)
Hypertriglyceridemia 117 77 39.2 (29.8, 48.4) 65.0 (53.8, 74.2)
Obesity 123 21 16.0 (9.9, 23.4) 18.6 (11.7, 26.7)
CVRF cluster1 123 35 10.6 (5.6, 17.5) 28.4 (18.8, 38.7)

HCT indicates hematopoietic cell transplantation; TBI, total body irradiation; CI, confidence interval; and HDL, high-density lipoprotein.

*

Cumulative incidence estimates reflect the time since TBI with time zero defined as one year after the date of TBI;

1

Defined as having 3 or more of the following CVRF: obesity, elevated blood pressure, elevated fasting glucose, low HDL, and elevated triglycerides.
