Unrelated Hematopoietic Stem Cell Donor Matching Probability and Search Algorithm

Table 5

Time frame of donor searches run from 1.1.2010 to 31.8.2012 for transplanted patients with different search probability estimates.

Category	Nb	Time for donor	Time to HSCT	Mean nb donor
	patients	identification (days)	(days)	tested/patient
High^(1)	66	54 (20–208)	101 (24–428)	4.92
Interm	30	73 (34–217)	76 (11–170)	5.13
Low	36	83 (33–308)	94 (12–298)	5.05

⁽¹⁾For 98/99 high probability searches a 10/10 matched donor could be identified with a mean duration of 56 days (20–208), a transplant date was not (yet) available for 18 patients, 5 patients declined transplantation, 6 patients died, 1 relapsed, 1 was transplanted abroad, 1 was transplanted with a haplo-identical donor.
