*Infections include bacteremias, pneumonia, clostridium difficile colitis, neutropenic colitis, and fungal infection.
**One patient died during engraftment.
***In addition to the patient who died during engraftment, one patient never reached platelet recovery until death.
NOTE: no significant statistical differences in any of the above categories between poor mobilizers and control good mobilizers.
