Nelson Chao, MD, MBA - Upgrading the VOD/SOS Management Tool Kit: Guidance for Effective Diagnostic Confirmation, Grading, and Treatment

Go online to PeerView.com/GBV860 to view the activity, download
slides and practice aids, and complete the post-test to earn
credit. Are you up to the challenge of veno-occlusive disease
(VOD)/sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS)—a serious complication
arising in the aftermath of hematopoietic stem cell
transplantation? In addition to life-threatening organ dysfunction
in serious cases, VOD presents additional diagnostic and assessment
challenges based on its varied onset time and symptomatology.
PeerView’s Clinical Consults CME video will help you meet these
challenges head-on through a series of case-centric lectures
illustrating how modern VOD management techniques can improve
outcomes in adult and pediatric patients at risk for this
post-transplant complication. Throughout, our expert panelists will
highlight the modern tools and evidence that can help capture VOD
cases, determine the presence of organ dysfunction, and support the
initiation of timely supportive care and pharmacologic treatment.
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better
able to: Describe risk factors for VOD/SOS, updated diagnostic
criteria, and clinical markers of disease severity/multiorgan
failure, Confirm a diagnosis of VOD/SOS in adult and pediatric
patients, including for individuals presenting with or without
organ dysfunction, Use modern severity grading models to determine
the presence of organ dysfunction in patients with a VOD/SOS
diagnosis, Incorporate novel therapies into treatment plans for
VOD/SOS, including in the setting of multiorgan dysfunction, based
on clinical assessment and current evidence.
