Allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT) offers a potential cure for some hematological malignancies. For those patients without a family donor, unrelated donor (MUD) registries serve for identifying the best donor. In the present study, we aimed to give a cross-sectional report of our registry's activity and experience as the first established national MUD registry in the country. The study is retrospective and covers the period of 2016 to 2019. A total of 1855 donor searches were performed, and 642 were included in the study. All data were electronically obtained from the institutional database system. All SCTs were either 10/10 or 9/10 HLA matched and originated from an international registry. The most preferred stem cell source was peripheral blood (70.2%). A quarter of transplants were performed using bone marrow, and cord blood was used with a rate of 1.4%. The pandemic-related problems were similar for the other two national registries. During the pandemic, 71 of 432 patients who were searched for donors underwent stem cell transplant(SCT). The low number was related mostly with postponing of SCTs and/also difficulties in continuing of volunteering and in achievement of stem cells from international registry. During the Covid19 pandemic, the SCT activity of centers decreased according to the national, and international guidelines. The study revealed an organized, and multidirectional capacity of the registry and also the adaptation to unpredicted conditions such as pandemic. On the other hand, there is a need for more effective strategies for donor recruitment and retention programme.
