Interestingly, duration of neutropenia (9 vs 8 days, P=0.046), duration of severe neutropenia (7 vs 6 days, P=0.014) and duration of hospitalization (19 vs 18 days, P=0.028) were superior in patients receiving less than 5.0=106 CD-34 cells/kg. Here, CD34 is linked to Decreased total neutrophil count.
