Cell throughput and performance ratio as quality indicators on hematopoietic stem cell apheresis: A single-center experience.

Background: Benchmarking in CD34 cell apheresis is crucial for optimizing resources, ensuring consistent collection performance, and ultimately, decision-making algorithms to improve donor safety. Key performance indicators such as the "performance ratio" (PR) are applied routinely in some apheresis centers, whereas this report identifies the "cell throughput" (CT) as another quality indicator in apheresis.

Material And Methods: This single-center study includes retrospective data from 117 aphereses.
