An Annual Review of Important Apheresis Articles in 2024 From the American Society for Apheresis Attending Physician Subcommittee

The American Society for Apheresis (ASFA) Attending Physician Subcommittee of the Physicians' Committee performed an annual review of articles published in 2024 related to apheresis medicine. The 10 seminal apheresis articles selected by the subcommittee members are summarized in this review. PubMed was used to identify manuscripts published in 2024 in four areas of interest: donor apheresis, therapeutic apheresis, apheresis education, and apheresis for cellular therapy. Only full length, peer-reviewed manuscripts in English with data from human subjects were included. Case reports, review articles, and meta-analyses were excluded. Articles were considered seminal if they met at least one of the following previously established criteria: novel finding(s), practice-altering outcomes, international in scope, randomized-controlled trial, relevant to current clinical practice, and/or provide evidence for category III or IV indications based on the ASFA 9th special issue of the Guidelines on the Use of Therapeutic Apheresis in Clinical Practice-Evidence-Based Approach.
