Temporal trends in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in Argentina between 2009 and 2018: A collaborative study by GATMO-TC and INCUCAI.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is the only curative treatment for many disorders and international data shows a growing trend.

Method

We aimed to evaluate the temporal trends in HSCT transplant rates in Argentina. A time-series analysis was performed for the period 2009 to 2018 using the national database from the National Central Coordinating Institute for Ablations and Implants.
