ABSTRACT
Factors influencing hematopoietic recovery (HR) after autologous blood stem cell transplantation (ABSCT) were analyzed in 73 patients with various non-myeloid malignancies (NMM), and in 58 patients with acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML). Peripheral blood stem cells were collected following mobilization with chemotherapy, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), or chemotherapy plus G-CSF. The conditioning regimen used consisted of either chemotherapy alone (112 cases) or chemotherapy plus total body irradiation (19 cases). The median number of colony-forming units granulocyte-macrophage (CFU-GM) was similar in both groups of patients, with the median number of CD34(+) cells infused being higher in the AML group (5.4 vs 4 x 10(6)/kg; P = 0.03). Median time neutrophils >0.5 x 10(9)/l was 13 days in both groups, and median time to a platelet count >20 x 10(9)/l was longer in AML patients (14 vs 12 days; P = 0.01). In multivariate analysis, the only factors affecting neutrophil recovery in the NMM group were the CD34+ cell number (continuous model) and the CFU-GM dose (categorized model) infused, whereas for platelet recovery, previous chemotherapy also remained significant. In the AML group, the only factors significantly affecting the speed of neutrophil recovery were dose of CD34+ cells administered and the patient's age. As for platelet recovery, only the progenitor dose administered remained significant. In the NMM group, the most discriminating cut-off values for a rapid neutrophil and platelet recovery were 1.5 x 10(6) and 2.5 x 10(6) CD34+ cells/kg, respectively, and for AML patients these figures were 1.5 x 10(6) and 4 x 10(6) CD34+ cells/kg, respectively. Our results confirm the slower HR after ABSCT in AML, and highlight the importance of progenitor cell dose in accelerating HR after ABSCT.
