Abstract Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo‐HSCT) is a potentially curative therapeutic option for patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Increasing data suggest that haploidentical donor (HID) transplantation achieve comparable outcomes with HLA‐matched sibling donor (MSD) in adult AML/MDS. This retrospective study compared the outcomes of AML or MDS patients age ≥50 years underwent HID and MSD transplantation. One hundred and fifty‐six patients were enrolled in this study, including 75 HID and 81 MSD transplantation. The 100‐day cumulative incidence of II‐IV° acute graft‐versus‐host disease (GVHD) was 33.3 ± 5.4% vs 22.2 ± 4.6%, respectively, in HID and MSD groups (P = .066), and III‐IV° acute GVHD was not significantly different between two groups (5.3%±2.6% vs 6.2%±2.7%, respectively, P = .823). The 2‐year cumulative incidence of limited and extensive chronic GVHD was not statistically different in HID and MSD groups (20.9 ± 5.5% vs 18.9 ± 4.8% and 13.0 ± 4.7% vs 19.7 ± 5.0%, P = .889 and P = .269, respectively). The 2‐year cumulative incidences of relapse (27.0 ± 5.6% vs 22.7 ± 5.1%, P = .509), 2‐year overall survival (63.0 ± 5.8% vs 66.7 ± 5.4%, P = .454), 2‐year transplant‐related mortality (17.2 ± 4.6% vs 17.4 ± 4.4%, P = .847), 2‐year progression‐free survival (59.3 ± 5.8% vs 64.5 ± 5.4%, P = .437), 2‐year GVHD‐free relapse‐free survival (42.6 ± 5.9% vs 40.9 ± 5.6%, P = .964) were not significantly different in the two groups. The present data showed equivalent outcomes in AML or MDS patients age ≥50 years underwent HID and MSD transplantation.
