Optimal time and threshold of absolute lymphocyte count recovery as a prognostic factor after single‐unit cord blood transplantation in adults

Abstract We retrospectively evaluated the optimal time and threshold of absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) recovery as a prognostic factor in 174 adult patients who received single‐unit cord blood transplantation (CBT) at our institute. We analyzed the impact of ALC ≥300, ≥600, and ≥900/μl by 30 and 60...

Description
Summary:Abstract We retrospectively evaluated the optimal time and threshold of absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) recovery as a prognostic factor in 174 adult patients who received single‐unit cord blood transplantation (CBT) at our institute. We analyzed the impact of ALC ≥300, ≥600, and ≥900/μl by 30 and 60 days on transplant outcomes. Multivariate analysis showed that only ALC ≥300/μl at 60 days was significantly associated with overall mortality (hazard ratio, 0.24; p = 0.001) following CBT. The optimal time point to use ALC recovery as a prognostic tool following CBT could be later than those following adult donor transplantation.
