Donor work-up and transport of bone marrow--recommendations and requirements for a standardized practice throughout the world from the Donor Registries and Quality Assurance Working Groups of the World Marrow Donor Association (WMDA).

In October 1995 the World Marrow Donor Association (WMDA) was restructured in order to facilitate its primary function of establishing guidelines in relation to international bone marrow and blood stem cell transplants -- transplants in which the donor is in one country and the patient is in another country. Five new working groups were established -- Donor Registries, Ethics, Quality Assurance, Finances, and Stem Cells. This paper, prepared by members of the Donor Registries Working Group, in consultation with the Quality Assurance Working Group, provides recommendations for the 'donor work-up'. This term covers events that start when the definitive donor has been identified, includes the harvesting (collection) and transportation of the stem cell product and ends when the product reaches the transplant centre. The paper includes examples of the documentation intended to ensure compliance with the recommendations at all key points in the sequence.

Bone marrow transplantation using voluntary donors. Role of European Secretariat.

Bone marrow transplantation using unrelated donors is one technique used for patients who have no HLA identical donor. The French Registry "France Greffe de Moelle" (F.G.M.), with 57.866 volunteer donors has allowed since its creation in 1987 the treatment of 143 French patients (December 1990). For the remaining 20 % patients who have no donor on F.G.M., the request are sent to other European registries. In order to improve the management of these request, an European Secretariat: European Donor Secretariat (E.D.S.) has been created and set up in Paris. It manages all European requests coming from European registries. This organization permits to reduce the waiting time of the patients and therefore, participates in the improvement of the clinical results.
