Red Blood Cell (RBC) and Platelet (PLT) Transfusion after Allogeneic Transplant for Leukemia: Similar Utilization after Sibling (SIB) Peripheral Blood Stem Cell (PBSC) and Umbilical Cord Blood (UCB) Graft.
Abstract:Transfusion independence is an important goal of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) for acute leukemia. We hypothesized that time to red blood cell (RBC) and platelet (PLT) transfusion independence would differ depending on the source of stem cells and the intensity of the preparative regimen. We retrospectively analyzed all transfusions administered to 146 acute leukemia patients who underwent a HSCT at our institution receiving a sibling (SIB) peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) or an unrelated umb… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
