Sažetak
Background and Objectives: The number of CD34+ cells collected in apheresis procedures depends mainly on the collection efficiency of the device and the blood volume processed. Large volume leukapheresis (LVL) can improve CD34+ cell yield and has previously been investigated using the COBE Spectra device (Terumo BCT, USA). Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of LVL performance in patients undergoing continuous mononuclear cell collection (CMNC) using the new Spectra Optia apheresis system (Terumo BCT, USA) at the University Hospital Center, Zagreb, from March 2016 to September 2016. CD34+ cell yield predictability, determined using a customized algorithm, was also assessed. Results: In total, 67 procedures performed in 46 adults and 14 performed in 11 children were included in the analysis. In adults, 30 (65.2%) patients successfully reached their target preapheresis CD34+ cell count on day 1, with a median (interquartile range [IQR]) CD34+ collected cell dose of 4.8 × 106/kg (2.3-10.6 × 106/ kg). In the pediatric group, 81.8% successfully collected the target CD34+ cell dose on the first day, with a median (IQR) CD34+ collected cell dose of 11.1 × 106/kg (3.2-16.3 × 106/kg). The customized algorithm showed a strong and significant linear correlation with actual CD34+ cell dose (P < 0.0001). Conclusion: The results of this study support the use of LVL and the customized prediction algorithm in apheresis procedures. The ability to tailor the procedure to meet the needs of the individual patient may help to minimize the blood volume processed, shorten the duration, reduce the volume of infused anticoagulants, and improve patient comfort.
