Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) are shown for all significant variables.

—indicates data not applicable; NS, not significant in the multivariable model.

*

The most common “other” diagnoses are aplastic anemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, and multiple myeloma.

Factors entered into the model as time-dependent covariates.

The GVHD variable “missing” signifies patients who did not have data entered into the computerized system (n = 118). Acute and chronic GVHD were independently graded, as previously described.17 18
