Hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) is potentially, the sole curative option for many malignant and non-malignant hematological disorders. Finding a human leukocyte antigen (HLA) compatible donor remains one of the limiting factors, hampering the utilization of HSCT. However, the introduction of post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) has improved the outcomes of haploidentical transplants making it a suitable option for patients lacking HLA-compatible donors.

- The study aimed to compare the performance and agreement of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) values measured by different certified analyzers.
- Conducted at the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology with 100 patients, the study used three methods: turbidimetric inhibitory immunoassay (TINIA), electrophoresis, and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
- Results showed that the HbA1c values from all three methods were very similar and displayed strong correlations, suggesting they can be used interchangeably in clinical settings.
