In this study, we explored the role and the contribution of several factors potentially involved in determining mean ATV in a cohort of TDT patients which have been followed since long time. We collected data on one-hundred and twenty-seven patients with transfusion-dependent β-thalassaemia followed at Rare Blood Cell Disease Unit, AORN Cardarelli Hospital. Age at first transfusion, genotype, spleen status (splenectomy or not), and mean soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR) were the parameters included in the analysis. At stepwise regression analysis which included all the parameters, only splenectomy and mean sTfR significantly predicted the mean ATV (F = 70.94, P  less then  0.0001, R2 = 0.540). Overall, our data may suggest that in patients with TDT, the measurement of sTfR level together with the spleen status could contribute, more accurately than genotype, to provide a basal evaluation of residual erythropoietic activity and mean ATV.Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) represents the most common indication for allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). This study aimed to address the implementation status of allogeneic HCT for adults with AML in Japan and to provide a comprehensive overview of post-transplant outcomes. For this purpose, we analyzed data of 15,186 patients undergoing allogeneic HCT between 1992 and 2016 who were consecutively reported to the Japanese nationwide transplantation registry. The constant increase in the annual number of transplantations was clearly attributable to the growth of unrelated transplantation, and umbilical cord blood transplantation currently accounts for one-third of all allogeneic HCTs. The proportion of older patients has increased steadi
