HRs were calculated for the association between each individual comorbidity and grades 3 to 4 acute GVHD, controlling for the presence of all coexisting comorbidities as well as for age, KPS score, and CMV serology results, diagnosis category, disease risk, and number of prior regimens, donor type, stem cell source, degree of conditioning intensity, inclusion of anti-thymocyte globulin in conditioning, and GVHD prophylaxis regimen.
