Effect of volume reduction of cord blood units before storage on transplantation outcomes: a retrospective analysis of Eurocord-EBMT and Netcord

Abstract

In this Registry study, manipulation of the CBUs aimed at volume reduction was not shown to infl uence the clinical outcome, indicating a satisfactory validation of the associated technologies across the banks. Cells viability assessment methodology varied among banks. Further eff orts to standardize the quality controls before CBU release are needed
