Immune-hematologic monitoring after allogeneic stem cell transplantation: unicentric prospective study on 104 patients.
Background: The impact of ABO incompatibility between recipient and donor on the outcome of hemato- poietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), on the immune- hematologic (IH) complications and on the role of IH monitoring before and after HSCT are still debated. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of ABO mismatch on the development of immediate and late IH complica- tions, DFS, OS, GVHD and TRM. Moreover, we analyzed the efficacy of the protocol used at the“Sapienza”University of Rome to manage ABO incompatibility in patients undergoing a HSCT.
