Baseline characteristics for all study participants.
ATG, antithymocyte globulin; BMI, body mass index; BM, bone marrow; CML, chronic myeloid leukemia; CNI, calcineurin inhibitor; CB, cord blood; MTX, methotrexate; MMF, mycophenolate mofetil; MAC, myeloablative conditioning; NMA, nonmyeloablative conditioning; PB, peripheral blood; post-CY, posttransplant cyclophosphamide; RIC, reduced intensity conditioning; TBI, total body irradiation.
Variables with minimal missing data are noted as follows: race, n = 386 (6%); ethnicity, n = 83 (1%), HCT-CI, n = 47 (0%); performance score, n = 135 (2%); history of mechanical ventilation, n = 65 (1%); history of proven invasive fungal infection, n = 61 (1%); prescribed conditioning intensity, n = 17 (0%); conditioning intensity/TBI use, n = 34 (0%); T-cell depletion, n = 6 (0%); donor type, n = 1 (0%); donor/recipient CMV serostatus, n = 85 (1%); donor/recipient sex match, n = 11 (0%).
Variables with significant missing data are noted as follows: insurance n = 3971 (57%); ZIP code median income, n = 2630 (38%); donor/recipient ABO match, n = 3922 (56%). High missingness is due to variables only being collected for the approximately half of CIBMTR patients who participate in the data-intensive research track.
There are 8 cases who had both Medicare and Medicaid, these were grouped into dual insurance.
Children (aged from 2 to <20 years), BMI is adjusted by sex and age (months) according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention smoothed growth charts with percentile cutoffs as follows: underweight (<5%), normal weight (5%-84.9%), overweight (85%-94.9%), and obese (≥95%). Adults aged ≥20 years, BMI is interpreted using standard weight status categories as follows: underweight (<18.5), normal weight (18.5-24.9), overweight (25.0-29.9), and obese (≥30.0). These categories are the same for men and women of all body types and ages.
Does not include NHL/HL, CML, unknown/MDS.
Donor type: multidonor n = 3 (0%).
