Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazard ratio models considering iNKT/T ratio (repeatedly assessed on days 15, 30, 60, and 90 after HSCT) as a time-dependent variable.

CI indicates confidence interval; HSC, hematopoietic stem cell, MAC, myeloablative conditioning; PBSC, peripheral blood stem cells; and RIC, reduced-intensity conditioning.

Statistically significant.
