Clinical and biomarker severity were evaluated at the time of GVHD treatment.

The number of events in this model was 217.

HCT-CI, HCT-specific comorbidity index; MDS/MPN, myelodysplastic syndromes/myeloproliferative neoplasms; MMF, mycophenolate mofetil; MTX, methotrexate; TBI, total body irradiation.
