Note: The percentages of patients not requiring immunosuppression were calculated using the numbers of patients within a group who did not use immunosuppression beyond PTCy as the numerators and either all patients in that group or patients in that group alive at last follow-up as the denominators. The probabilities of being alive and off immunosuppression were calculated from the multistate models (Figure 1C).

CI, confidence interval; IQR, interquartile range; IS, immunosuppression.
