Abstract
- Similar patterns in the use of umbilical cord blood transplantation have been observed in Europe and North America
- An overall increase in umbilical cord blood transplantation for elderly patients from 2005 to 2013 was observed
- The slight decrease after 2013 may reflect the growing use of haploidentical donors
- Acute myeloid leukemia is the most frequent indication for umbilical cord blood transplantation in older patients
- Umbilical cord blood transplantation is a reasonable alternative for many older patients
