On the Probability of Using Cord Blood

Year: 2008

Type: letter

Abstract: The ASBMT Position Statement on Collection and Preservation of Cord Blood for Personal Use and the underlying ASBMT Committee Report [1,2] were recently published in BBMT. These documents give the likelihood of autologous use of a stored cord blood (CB) unit as between 0.04% and 0.0005% (without specifying the age of the recipient), citing several papers as sources for these estimates [3-7]. This is a very wide range, and review of the citations does not reveal the origin of the lower probability.
