Abstract
Introduction
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCST) is a widely used therapy in the management of hematological malignancies, leading to cytopenias that require transient transfusions. Platelet recovery (PR) following HSCT is assessed by monitoring platelet count (PC). Immature platelet fraction (IPF) is a research parameter offered by Sysmex® on XN series analyzers, enabling rapid diagnostic orientation in the event of thrombocytopenia. It has also been described as a predictive factor for PR after chemotherapy or HSCT, and thresholds have been proposed.
Methods
The objective of this study was to assess the predictive capability of IPF for PR in a prospective cohort of patients undergoing HSCT and to evaluate its utility in guiding platelet transfusion decision.
Results
An optimized A-IPF (absolute number of IPF) threshold of 2.5 × 109/L was predictive of a PC greater than 50 × 109/L at day 30 with a sensitivity of 78.9%, specificity of 78.6%, positive predictive value (PPV) of 83.3% and negative predictive value (NPV) of 73.3%. We were able to distinguish patients recovering PC before day 15 with an earlier %IPF peak, greater IPF recovery kinetics and faster neutrophil recovery.
Conclusion
A-IPF shows promise as a predictor of PR following HSCT. A multicenter study could help confirm both A-IPF and %IPF (IPF) clinical utility before it is made available to clinicians.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Laboratory Hematology provides a forum for the communication of new developments, research topics and the practice of laboratory haematology.
The journal publishes invited reviews, full length original articles, and correspondence.
The International Journal of Laboratory Hematology is the official journal of the International Society for Laboratory Hematology, which addresses the following sub-disciplines: cellular analysis, flow cytometry, haemostasis and thrombosis, molecular diagnostics, haematology informatics, haemoglobinopathies, point of care testing, standards and guidelines.
The journal was launched in 2006 as the successor to Clinical and Laboratory Hematology, which was first published in 1979. An active and positive editorial policy ensures that work of a high scientific standard is reported, in order to bridge the gap between practical and academic aspects of laboratory haematology.
