Intra‐apheresis CD34 + cell count: A dynamic approach to predicting peripheral blood stem cell collection yield

Key Points

• The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of intra-apheresis CD34+ cell count in predicting peripheral blood stem cell collection yield.
• Utilized a single intra-apheresis CD34+ measurement at or beyond 1.20 processed blood volumes.
• Compared this approach to existing pre-apheresis formulas for predicting PBSC yield.
• Intra-apheresis CD34+ measurement reliably predicts final PBSC yield.
• This method demonstrated greater efficiency in stem cell collection processes.
• Reduced donor burden was reported across various clinical situations.
