Overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) were assessed using the Kaplan-Meier method, whereas the cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR) and non-relapse mortality (NRM) were evaluated by competing-risk models.

The high-dose group also had shorter duration of severe cytopenia, shorter febrile neutropenia duration, and lower platelet transfusion requirements (all <i>P</i> value<0.05). Multivariable analysis showed that an infused CD34(+) cell dose ≥4×10(6)/kg was independently associated with neutrophil engraftment within 10 days (<i>OR</i>=4.661, 95% <i>CI</i>: 1.322-16.435, <i>P</i>=0.017), whereas ISS stage Ⅲ (<i>OR</i>=0.217, 95% <i>CI</i>: 0.060-0.781, <i>P</i>=0.019) and a higher number of pre-transplant chemotherapy cycles (<i>OR</i>=0.706, 95% <i>CI</i>: 0.520-0.958, <i>P</i>=0.025) were associated with failure to achieve platelet engraftment within 10 days. Survival analysis showed that the high-dose group had superior PFS and OS compared with the low-dose group (median PFS time: not reached vs 773 d, <i>P</i>=0.040; median OS time: not reached <i>vs</i> 812 d, <i>P</i>=0.009), and that an infused CD34(+) cell dose ≥4×10(6)/kg might be independently associated with a lower risk of relapse or disease progression (<i>HR</i>=0.212, 95% <i>CI</i>: 0.052-0.870, <i>P</i>=0.031) . <b>Conclusion:</b> In patients with newly diagnosed MM undergoing auto-PBSCT, an infused CD34(+) cell dose ≥4×10(6)/kg was associated with faster neutrophil engraftment, shorter duration of severe myelosuppression, reduced tim","PeriodicalId":24016,"journal":{"name":"Zhonghua xue ye xue za zhi = Zhonghua xueyexue zazhi","volume":"47 6","pages":"564-570"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13575513/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148907338","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
