We studied platelet engraftment in 58 patients with acute myeloid leukemia in first remission treated with autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) to determine whether CD34(+) cell doses >10 x 10(6)/kg were associated with faster platelet engraftment. We compared engraftment rates in patients receiving CD34(+) doses between 5 and 10 x 10(6)/kg (standard-dose ASCT) with those receiving doses greater than or equal to10 x 10(6)/kg (high-dose [HD] ASCT). We also studied neutrophil engraftment rates and platelet and red blood cell transfusion requirements. In multivariate adjusted models, the rate of platelet recovery to greater than or equal to20,000/muL was 4-fold greater among subjects who received HD-ASCT (hazard ratio [HR], 4.1; confidence interval [CI], 1.8-9.2; P = .001), with median recovery times of 14 versus 28 days. The rate of platelet recovery to greater than or equal to50,000/muL was 2-fold greater (HR, 2.1; CI, 1.3-5.9; P = .01), with median recovery times of 19 versus 46 days. Faster platelet recovery resulted in the need for fewer platelet transfusions among the subjects who received HD-ASCT (mean transfusions, 3.7 versus 9.8; P = .005). Although not statistically significant, neutrophil recovery data in the adjusted model suggested a similar effect in the HD-ASCT group, with faster engraftment times at absolute neutrophil counts >500/muL (median, 9.2 versus 12 days; HR, 1.6; CI, 0.69-3.5; P = .29) and absolute neutrophil counts >1000/muL (median, 9.5 versus 12 days; HR, 1.3; CI, 0.56-2.8; P = .58). Subjects who received HD-ASCT required fewer red blood cell transfusions (4.0 versus 9.8 units; P = .01). Our findings suggest that CD34(+) cell doses >10 x 10(6)/mug CD34(+) result in faster engraftment and fewer red blood cell and platelet transfusions.
