U.S. Transplant Centers Providing Data

More data provides better research information and better ability to predict outcomes. Understanding this, the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research^® (CIBMTR) works diligently to provide data that is as complete as possible. The U.S. Transplant Data Reports include statistics from transplants performed in the United States from 2000 through 2005. Of all the bone marrow and cord blood transplants performed in the U.S. during these five years, the CIBMTR estimates that these reports represent:

• 90% of unrelated allogeneic transplants (a volunteer donor)
• 65% of related allogeneic transplants (a patient's sibling or another family member)
• 60% of autologous transplants (the patient)

The blood-forming cells for autologous and allogeneic transplants can be collected from bone marrow, peripheral blood or umbilical cord blood after a baby is born.

Reporting data to the CIBMTR requires valuable time from transplant centers. We would like to acknowledge and thank the following transplant centers for reporting their data from January 1, 2000 through December 31, 2005.
