Therapeutic and economic value based on banking strategies.

<p>Four recruitment strategies were considered: (A) Banks implement an average selectivity rate of 33%, which reflects the percentage of banked units vs. collected units. The level is increased by applying the Utilization Score up to a total selectivity of 20% (B), then 6% (C) and 2% (D). For each scenario, therapeutic value (left scale) is indicated by the number of transplanted CBUs and confronted to the economic value in USD (right scale). The table presents the operating results for each scenario.</p
