Abstract
The quantity of cells is widely accepted as the main factor influencing the outcome after umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT) however, the quality of the cord blood units (CBUs) has been less studied. In order to determine the impact of qualitative variables in UCBT outcomes, we conducted a multicenter retrospective study in adult patients with hematological malignancies who underwent single UCBT after a common myeloablative conditioning regimen. One hundred and ten patients from 3 institutions [median age, 35 years (range 18-55)] were included. Quantitative (TNC and total CD34+cells) and qualitative variables [viable CD45+ (vCD45+), vCD34+ and clonogenic efficiency [(CLONE), quotient of post-thaw colony-forming units (CFU)] and pre-freeze CD34+ cells predicted engraftment in univariate analysis however, only 2 qualitative variables remained significant in the multivariate analysis. Infusion of more than 2 × 10(7) post-thaw vCD45+ cells per kilogram was significantly associated with faster neutrophil (P = .01), platelet engraftment (P = .01), higher disease-free (P = .01) and overall survival (0.02). In addition, CLONE ≥ 20% predicted a faster neutrophil (P = .005), platelet engraftment (P = .01) and contributed to decr...Continue Reading
