    Chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a major complication after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) affecting prognosis.

  • 2

    Bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) is the only formally recognized lung manifestation of chronic GVHD, characterized by obstructive lung disease.

  • 3

    Interstitial lung disease (ILD) has a cumulative incidence of 5% post-HSCT and is associated with restrictive lung disease and chronic GVHD.

  • 4

    Histological patterns of post-HSCT ILD include organizing pneumonia and nonspecific interstitial pneumonia, often coexisting with obliterative bronchiolitis.

  • 5

    The study aims to compare characteristics and outcomes of patients with ILD and BOS after HSCT, utilizing a retrospective observational cohort.
