Abstract:
The ability to predict clinical outcomes is essential to accurate medical decision analysis. Many accepted bone marrow transplant related prognostic variables are derived from data that is over 20-years old and may or may not be applicable to current medical practice. This report reviews both older data concerning bone marrow transplantation prognostic factors as well as more current reports. In addition to pretransplant variables, this review examines easily measured post-transplant variables that may affect prognosis, as well as data concerning the cellular component of the infused graft in both allogeneic and autologous transplantation.
