Abstract

BACKGROUND: A higher CD34 + cell dose is associated with improved engraftment but may also be associated with an increased risk of complications after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, including graft-versus-host disease (GVHD).

METHODS: We retrospectively analyze the impact of CD34 + cell dose on OS, PFS, neutrophil engraftment, platelet engraftment, treatment-related mortality, and GVHD grading.

RESULTS: For analyses, CD34 + cell dose was stratified into low (< 8.5 × 10 6/kg) and high (> 8.5 × 10 6/kg). A subgroup analysis of higher CD34 + cell dose leads to prolonged OS and PFS, but statistical significance was achieved only for PFS (OR 0.36; 95%CI 0.14-0.95; P = 0.04).

CONCLUSIONS: This study reinforced that CD34+ cell dose at the time of allo-HSCT retained a positive impact on PFS.
