CR1 indicates first complete remission; CR2, second complete remission; CR3+, third or later complete remission; CML, chronic myeloid leukemia; CP1, first chronic phase; CRU, complete remission undetermined; MDS, myelodysplastic syndrome; RA, refractory anemia; RARS, refractory anemia with ringed sideroblasts; RAEB, refractory anemia with excess of blasts; CMML, chronic myelomonocytic leukemia; PR, partial remission; NHL, non-Hodgkin lymphoma; DLC, diffuse large cell; and CLL, chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

*

Presence of pre-existing high-risk clinical features was defined as a Karnofsky score less than or equal to 60, presence of serious organ dysfunction, and invasive mold infection within 4 months of transplantation.

Extensive prior therapy was defined as prior autologous transplantation, more than 12 months alkylator-based chemotherapy, or more than 6 months alkylator-based chemotherapy with extensive radiation.

Serious organ dysfunction was defined as bilirubin between more than 2 times above upper normal limit, transaminases more than 2 times above the upper normal limit, corrected DLCO 50% or less of predicted, and ejection fraction less than 45%.
