Variables not found to be statistically significant in univariate analysis include performance status (< 80, ≥ 80), unit sex, sex matching (recipient/unit), date of transplantation (after 1/1/2001, before 1/1/2001), HLA match (3/6 and 4/6 versus 5/6 and 6/6), recipient ethnicity, unit ethnicity, ethnicity matching (recipient/unit), recipient CMV status, and recipient weight (<12 kg, ≥ 12 kg).
