title: Current use and outcome of blood and marrow transplantation in childhood according to the Italian Registry.
abstract: Since 1985 data concerning patients affected by malignant and non-malignant diseases, aged <17 years, grafted in 16 centers nationwide, have been collected and stored in a central data base organized at the Associazione Italiana di Ematologia ed Oncologia Pediatrica (AIEOP) Operation Office within the AIEOP BMT Registry. The information, collected and structurally integrated with other specific disease-oriented national data bases, permitted the elaboration and the following publication of several analyses on survival, relapse probability and transplant-related mortality for the different diseases.
