CEs were classified as ECEs or LCEs depending on whether it was diagnosed during the first 100 days after transplant, or it was diagnosed after day 100. Only the first CE occurring in patients included in the study was accounted in the analysis. CEs occurring after presenting disease relapse after allo-HCT were not accounted. LCEs were considered if diagnosed after day +100 and in patients without prior history of ECE.
