Association between cytomegalovirus viremia and long-term outcomes in lung transplant recipients

Although cytomegalovirus (CMV) viremia/DNAemia has been associated with reduced survival after lung transplantation, its association with chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) and its phenotypes is unclear. We hypothesized that, in a modern era of CMV prophylaxis, CMV DNAemia would still remain associated with death, but also represent a risk factor for CLAD and specifically restrictive allograft syndrome (RAS)/mixed phenotype. This was a single-center retrospective cohort study of all consecutive adult, first, bilateral-/single-lung transplants done between 2010-2016, consisting of 668 patients. Risks for death/retransplantation, CLAD, or RAS/mixed, were assessed by adjusted cause-specific Cox proportional-hazards models. CMV viral load (VL) was primarily modeled as a categorical variable: undetectable, detectable to 999, 1000 to 9999, and ≥10 000 IU/mL. In multivariable models, CMV VL was significantly associated with death/retransplantation (≥10 000 IU/mL: HR = 2.65 [1.78-3.94]; P < .01), but was not associated with CLAD, whereas CMV serostatus mismatch was (D+R-: HR = 2.04 [1.30-3.21]; P < .01). CMV VL was not associated with RAS/mixed in univariable analysis. Secondary analyses with a 7-level categorical or 4-level ordinal CMV VL confirmed similar results. In conclusion, CMV DNAemia is a significant risk factor for death/retransplantation, but not for CLAD or RAS/mixed. CMV serostatus mismatch may have an impact on CLAD through a pathway independent of DNAemia.
