Introduction: Peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) mobilization with granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) for healthy donors is generally performed at 5th day. However, earlier collection is sometimes feasible, raising the question of whether to initiate apheresis early to limit further G-CSF exposure, while considering the risk of mobilization failure. In the current study, we examined the factors predicting successful 4th day collection and developed a model that can be used practically. Patients and methods: The study was carried out by obtaining the data of PBSC mobilizations performed between January 2009 and September 2022 in our transplantation center. Results: A total of 141 healthy donors with a median donor age of 32 (18-64) were included. Adequate mobilization was achieved in 115 (81.6 %) patients. Median peripheral CD34 + cell count was 69.4/mu L in the adequate mobilization group and 46/mu L in the mobilization failure group (p < 0001). Multivariate analysis revealed that donor/recipient weight ratio and the 4th day peripheral CD34 + cell count >= 50/mu L were independent markers for 4th day collection success. A predictive model of our center including these parameters was available with 0.765 sensitivity and 0.968 specificity [(AUC):0.948 (95 % CI, 0.90-0.99), p < 0.001]. Conclusion: The result of the current study shows that peripheral 4th day collection can be performed in selected donors, taking into account peripheral CD34+ cell count and donor/recipient weight ratio. In addition, using these indicators, new predictive models can be created that may assist clinicians in daily practice.
