Any Other Recommended Travel Restrictions That Would Prevent Inclusion of the Unit?

Mother lived in any area where malaria is endemic within the past 3 years or traveled to those areas in the past 12 months. Mother spent a total time from 1980 to 1996 that adds up to 3 months or more in the United Kingdom (UK) from 1980 to 1996 or she received a blood transfusion in the UK in this time frame. Mother was born or lived in Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Congo Equatorial Guinea, Gabon Niger, Nigeria, or Ivory Coast since 1977 or been the sexual partner of a person who was born in or lived in these countries in this time frame. Note: all time frames relate to date of infant’s delivery.

No

Immigrants, refugees, or citizens coming from a country in which malaria is considered endemic will be deferred for 3 years after departure from the area if they have been free from unexplained symptoms suggestive of malaria. If after their arrival in the United States they visit any region where malaria is endemic, a deferral of 3 years applies. Other donors who have traveled to a country where malaria is considered endemic will be deferred for 12 months after returning from that area, regardless of whether or not they took antimalaria prophylaxis. Also deferral if since 1980 the mother spent 5 years or more in Europe, 3 months or more in the UK from 1980 to 1986; member of military from 1980 to 1996 and spent more than 6 months in Belgium, The Netherlands, or Germany (1980 to 1990), or Spain, Portugal, Turkey, Italy, or Greece (1980 to 1996).

All exclusions applicable to whole-blood donors, e.g. malaria, vCJF, and SARS.

Mothers who have traveled to areas where malaria is endemic are deferred for 1 year after return. Immigrants from countries where malaria is endemic are deferred for 3 years after leaving the country. Persons who have lived for 5 or more years in countries where malaria is endemic are deferred for 3 years after returning to the United States. Travel to Cameroon, Central Africa Republic, Chad, Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Niger, Nigeria, and Cote d’Ivoire since 1977 would restrict donation due to possible HIV exposure. Travel to the United Kingdom from 1980 to the present for 3 months or Europe for 6 months would restrict donation due to possible CJF.

Travel to high-risk area

  • Travel outside of United States or Canada in the past 3 years

  • Born in Africa

  • Lived in Europe since 1980

  • Spent more than 3 months since 1980 in UK

  • Member of military from 1980 to 1996

  • Spent more than 6 months between 1980 and 1996 in Belgium, The Netherlands, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Turkey, Italy, or Greece

Any Other Recommended Travel Restrictions That Would Prevent Inclusion of the Unit?

Malarial deferrals will result in quarantine of unit until follow-up phone call and/or other testing is performed after the deferral period. Travel areas affected by SARS would result in exclusion.

The CDC Health Information for International Travel 2003–2004 is used.

Exclusion for travel to malaria risk areas within the past 3 years (is possible to reduce the time restriction to the past 12 months). Exclusion for vCJF risk and SARS as advised by the FDA.

These are evaluated on a case-by-case basis by staff in conjunction with the medical director.

No

Defer for travel areas where malaria and SARS areas are endemic within the last 14 days, extended stay in UK (for CJF).

Collections from 1996 to 2001 utilized the then-current FDA guidelines for donor exclusion based on travel to foreign countries. However, short-term travel did not warrant exclusion.

Questions on travel history were asked and documented on health history questionnaire.

TABLE C-18 Neonatal Health Status Follow-Up

Bank

If There Is Follow-Up in Neonatal Health Status, When Is It Done?

American Red Cross North Central Blood Services Cord Blood Bank

Delivery data are assessed 24 hours or more after delivery. In addition, donors are reminded in a follow-up letter/survey mailed 60 days after delivery and in a birthday card sent at 1 year, to ask the family to report on any changes in infant’s health.

Carolinas Cord Blood Bank

Yes, 24-hour review of pediatric exam/neonatal history 6 months or more, computer system; mom’s age > 35 years and no amniocentesis follow-up unit at time of request

Children’s Hospital of Orange County Cord Blood Bank

None

Cryobanks International, Inc.

No follow-up of neonatal health status is done at present

ITxM Cord Blood Services

Yes, before release for transplantation; not always able to locate the mother

JP McCarthy Cord Stem Cell Bank

No follow-up after the baby has been discharged from the hospital

Lifebank USA

No

LifeCord

No. However, the mother is asked to call if a health problem arises; the bank receives notification of leukemia in an infant whose cord blood was donated.

Michigan Community Blood Centers Cord Blood Bank

(1) No formal follow-up. (2) Donor moms are given a card to keep in baby’s book asking for notification if child becomes seriously ill.

National Cord Blood Program of the New York Blood Center

No

New Jersey Cord Blood Bank

Follow-up from the donor is requested at 6 months and 1 year

Puget Sound Blood Center and Hawaii Cord Blood Bank

Yes, prior to transplant (when a cord blood unit has been selected for use)

Sibling Program Children’s Hospital Oakland Research Institute

Hemoglobinopathy screening is performed on the cord blood unit. Clinical status of donor is reviewed before release of the unit for transplantation

With the potential for self-renewal and differentiation, the possibilities for stem cells are enormous. One specific type of stem cell, the hematopoietic progenitor cell (HPC), which is derived from umbilical cord blood (as well as adult bone marrow and mobilized peripheral blood), holds particular promise. To make the most of these HPCs, the Institute of Medicine was asked to consider the optimal structure for a national cord blood program and to address pertinent issues related to maximizing the potential of stem cell technology. Cord Blood: Establishing a National Hematopoietic Stem Cell Bank Program examines:

  • The role of cord blood in stem cell transplantation
  • The current status of blood banks already in existence
  • The optimal structure for the cord blood program
  • The current use and utility of cord blood for stem cell transplants
  • The best way to advance the use of cord blood units and make them available for research

Expert advice from leaders in the fields of economics, public health, medicine, and biostatistics combine to make this very timely and topical book useful to a number of stakeholders.
