CY, cyclophosphamide; TBI, total body irradiation.

HLA-A, -B, -C, and -DRB1 at high-resolution level. CBU with the highest HLA disparity in relation to the patient. Patients receiving at least 1 CBU with ≥5 mismatches were included even if the allele-level HLA match of the second was unknown. Bold P values denotes statistical significance (P <.05).

Plasma cell and myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative disorders.

Information was missing for 179 cases.

§

Information was missing for 257 cases.

CBU with the highest ABO disparity in relation to the patient.
