OS indicates overall survival; EFS, event-free survival; HR, hazard ratio; and CI, confidence interval.

*

In both cohorts, multivariable HRs were adjusted for sex (male vs female), age (< 55 years vs > 55), Ig-G myeloma (Ig-G vs others), Durie & Salmon stage (III vs I or II), disease status pre-first autograft (partial and complete remission vs less than a partial remission).
