Popis: Abstract Background Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is life-saving for severe hematological conditions. However, its outcomes need further improvement, and co-infusion of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) may show promise. A growing body of research on this subject exists, while the results of different trials are conflicting. A systematic review and meta-analysis is needed to appraise the real efficacy and safety of MSC co-transplantation in allo-HSCT. Methods Studies comparing MSC co-transplantation in allo-HSCT with allo-HSCT alone were searched in six medical databases from inception to June 10, 2020. The primary outcomes were engraftment and graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD and cGVHD, respectively). Other outcomes included overall survival (OS), relapse rate (RR), non-relapse mortality (NRM), and immune reconstitution. Information was independently extracted by two investigators. Methodological quality was assessed using the Cochrane Collaboration tool. Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4. Results Six randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and 13 non-randomized controlled trials (nRCTs) were included. MSC co-infusion resulted in shorter times to neutrophil engraftment (RCTs: standardized mean difference (SMD) − 1.20, p = 0.04; nRCTs: SMD − 0.54, p = 0.04) and platelet engraftment (RCTs: SMD − 0.60, p = 0.04; nRCTs: SMD − 0.70, p = 0.01), a lower risk of cGVHD (RCTs: risk ratio (RR) 0.53, p = 0.01; nRCTs: RR 0.50, p
