Abstract

Cryopreservation of PBSC for allo-SCT offers potential advantages; however, its impact on engraftment and outcomes remains unclear. A total of 76 allo-SCT performed using cryopreserved PBSC from HLA identical related (n=57) and unrelated donors (n=19) were compared with 123 fresh PBSC allo-SCT. Median neutrophil engraftment was on day 12 for both cryopreserved and fresh PBSC; in multivariate analysis, there was a slight but significant delay in neutrophil engraftment after the median date (hazard ratio (HR)=1.44, P=0.003). Platelet engraftment was significantly delayed in cryopreserved PBSC recipients (median time 19 vs 14 days). In multivariate analysis cryopreservation (HR=1.85, P
