This paper was very important because we evaluated the engraftment of platelets at 100 days after transplant to a level of 50,000 platelets. We demonstrated that the reduction in the engraftment, the latency in engraftment, was associated with a higher rate of non-relapsed mortality in patients with delayed engraftment. Some factors are predictive of delay in platelet engraftment, and these are the kind of donor we use, the rate of fibrosis, the dose of CD34 cells that we use in these patients, and also a favorable outcome is the splenectomy, which makes the engraftment easier earlier at 100 days after the transplant...
