The BSBMTCT Data Registry holds a unique data set on the UK and Republic of Ireland (RoI) transplants, treatment and follow up.  This data provides a good introduction to autologous HSCT.  As you will see in Table 1 the first Autologous HSCT, in the database, took place in 1978!

Table 1: First Transplants

If we look at the data over a 5 year period, we can see what the most common indications to treat were during that time frame for Adult and Paediatric transplants.  

A total of 21,413 transplants were reported to the BSBMTCT registry over a 5-year period 2016-2020 inclusive, of which 61% were autologous transplants.

 If you look at Table 2, it depicts the number of autologous transplants which took place during that time frame.

Table 2: Adult and Paediatric 2016 -2020

Depicted in Table 3 are all malignant and non malignant indications to treat for the same period 2016 – 2020.

Table 3: Malignant and Non Malignant Indications

In the following topics this data has been broken down into more detail looking more closely at the different diseases that were treated with an autologous transplant and into adult and paediatric categories.
