Defining opportunistic invasive fungal infections in immunocompromised patients with cancer and hematopoietic stem cell transplants: an international consensus. The median PRED dose required to achieve complete resolution of acute GVHD was not different between the two groups: 1300 mg/m2 for the long taper patients and 1800 mg/m2 for the short taper patients. ; Kersey, John H.; Weisdorf, Daniel J. T1 - Prednisone therapy for acute graft-versus-host disease, T2 - Short-versus long-term treatment: A prospective randomized trial. The following additional factors were associated with hospitalization for more than 7 days: time to first GVHD therapy (OR, 0.81; 95% CI, 0.7-0.9; per week delayed), unrelated donor versus other donor (OR, 1.60; 95% CI, 1.1-2.3), and acute GVHD grade III/IV versus grade I/IIa at onset (OR, 4.94; 95% CI, 2.5-9.6). We report the results of a controlled study in which BMT patients with moderate/severe acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) who responded to primary treatment with corticosteroids were prospectively randomized to short versus long taper of their steroid doses. Acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) are multisystem disorders that are common complications of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT).

Conversely, some patients with more severe GVHD symptoms at presentation were treated with lower doses of glucocorticoids if they had contraindications such as presumed or documented infections. AB - We report the results of a controlled study in which BMT patients with moderate/severe acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) who responded to primary treatment with corticosteroids were prospectively randomized to short versus long taper of their steroid doses. However, these are only effective in around 50% of patients and cause toxic side effects.
