BackgroundTo provide information for umbilical cord blood (UCB) banks to adopt optimal collection strategies and to make UCB banks operate efficiently, we investigated the reasons for exclusion of UCB units in a 3‐year recruitment period.
Study Design and MethodsWe analyzed records of the reasons for exclusion of the potential UCB donation from 2004 to 2006 in the Tzu‐Chi Cord Blood Bank and compared...
BACKGROUND: The outcome of peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) harvest depends on mobilization and leukapheresis. Some poor harvests might not be directly related to poor mobilizations.
STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed the results of 793 consecutive healthy donors who underwent PBSC donation to evaluate the impact of low mean corpuscular volume (MCV) of red blood cells on the outcomes...
BACKGROUND: The hematopoietic progenitor cell (HPC) count measured by the Sysmex hematology analyzer can determine the timing for leukapheresis in autologous peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) harvest. We evaluated whether a HPC count could predict CD34+ cell yield in healthy, unrelated donors after granulocyte–colony‐stimulating factor mobilization.
STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: A total of 117 healthy...
