A dual strategy to optimize hematopoietic progenitor cell collections: validation of a simple prediction algorithm and use of collect flow rates guided by mononuclear cell count

摘要

BACKGROUND: Previous prediction algorithms to achieve target CD34+ goals have not been widely adopted, with many centers still using a set volume to process for hematopoietic progenitor cell collections. This may be because previous algorithms are challenging to implement. Additionally, no study has yet examined the utility of adjusting the collect flow rate (CFR) based on the donor's preprocedure total mononuclear cell (MNC) count, which correlates with CD34+ yield.
