[HTML][HTML] Factors associated with outcomes of unrelated cord blood transplant: guidelines for donor choice
OBJECTIVE: Optimizing cord blood donor selection based mainly on cell dose and human
leukocyte antigen (HLA) disparities may further improve results of unrelated cord blood
transplants (UCBT). MATERIALS AND RESULTS: We analyzed 550 UCBTs for hematologic
malignancies reported to the Eurocord Registry. Main outcomes and prognostic factors were
analyzed in univariable and multivariable analyses incorporating center and period effects
and using death and relapse as competitive risks for nonfatal endpoints. Nucleated cell (NC) …
