Background Most reports addressing pulmonary complications (PCs) in hematopoietic stem
cell transplant (HSCT) recipients have focused on allogeneics. This study describes the
PCs, their risk factors, and the impact on mortality in autologous recipients. Methods We
reviewed the medical records of 1,243 adult autologous HSCT recipients. We collected
pretransplant and posttransplant data and data on PC after transplant and long-term
mortality. Results Four hundred eighty-seven PC developed in 343 patients (27.6%): 173 …
