Ongoing provision of alloHCT has required dynamic responses at national and local levels. In Australia and New Zealand (ANZ), a high reliance on unrelated donors from overseas registries has posed an additional challenge.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Aims<\/jats:title><jats:p>To describe the impact of COVID\u201019 on alloHCT services in ANZ in the first year of the pandemic.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Data from the national alloHCT patient and unrelated donor registries were extracted for a 2\u2010year time frame. Comparisons were made between a pre\u2010pandemic period of 1 March 2019 to 29 February 2020 and the corresponding dates during the pandemic, 1 March 2020 to 28 February 2021.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>There was a 13% decrease in the number of allogeneic transplants, a reversal of steady increases in previous years, with the largest decrease in unrelated donor transplants. Local donors supplied a greater proportion of unrelated stem cell products. With a switch to universal cryopreservation, the time from request of a product to infusion increased by a median of 25.5\u2009days for overseas products and 14\u2009days for local products. There was a significant increase in the number of products collected but not used.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>A strong public health response and coordinated transplant community activities allowed for safe provision of alloHCT in ANZ; however, our data suggest that the timely delivery of allogeneic transplants was affected by the COVID\u201019 pandemic. Continued dedicated efforts are required to minimise further impacts.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/imj.15886","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,14]],"date-time":"2022-07-14T13:23:50Z","timestamp":1657805030000},"page":"323-329","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Allogeneic haemopoietic cell transplant services in Australia and New Zealand in the first year of the COVID\u201019 pandemic: a report from Australia and New Zealand transplant and cellular therapies"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"53","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4971-3576","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jad","family":"Othman","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Haematology Royal North Shore Hospital  Sydney New South Wales Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Donna","family":"Aarons","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Australasian Bone Marrow Transplant Recipient Registry St Vincent's Hospital  Sydney New South Wales Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ashish","family":"Bajel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Haematology Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre and The Royal Melbourne Hospital  Melbourne Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jason","family":"Butler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Bone Marrow Transplantation Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital  Brisbane Queensland Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Richard","family":"Doocey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Haematology Auckland City Hospital  Auckland New Zealand"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tracey","family":"O'Brien","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Blood &amp; Marrow Transplant Program, Kids Cancer Centre Sydney Children's Hospital  Sydney New South Wales Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Duncan","family":"Purtill","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Blood and Marrow Transplant Program Fiona Stanley Hospital  Perth Western Australia Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lisa","family":"Smith","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Australian Bone Marrow Donor Registry  Sydney New South Wales Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Leonie","family":"Wilcox","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Australasian Bone Marrow Transplant Recipient Registry St Vincent's Hospital  Sydney New South Wales Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7929-1450","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nada","family":"Hamad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Haematology St Vincent's Hospital  Sydney New South Wales Australia"},{"name":"St Vincent's Clinical School, Faculty of Medicine University of New South Wales  Sydney New South Wales Australia"},{"name":"School of Medicine Sydney University of Notre Dame Australia  Sydney New South Wales Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","volume-title":"Australasian Bone Marrow Transplant Recipient Registry: Annual Data Summary 2019 (Internet)","year":"2020"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","unstructured":"Australian Bone Marrow Donor Registry (ABMDR).ABMDR Annual Report 2019\u20132020; 2020 [cited 2021 Aug 14].
