Classification of HLA-Matching for Retrospective Analysis of Unrelated Donor Transplantation: Revised Definitions to Predict Survival
8 Jun 2008
Abstract excerpt
The best unrelated donors (URD) for hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) are alleles matched at HLA-A, -B, -C, and DRB1. Earlier studies mostly used incomplete or lower resolution HLA typing for analysis of transplant outcome. To understand the impact of incomplete HLA characterization, we analyzed 14,797 URD HCT (1995-2006) using multivariable regression modeling adjusting for factors affecting survival. Of...
