Factors examined included: (1) age, sex, time from diagnosis, advanced stage (3/4) B symptoms, gastrointestinal involvement, blood involvement, blastic morphology, β2-microglobulin, lactate dehydrogenase; (2) International Prognostic Index (IPI), Mantle Cell IPI (MIPI), number of prior treatments, performance status, rituximab versus no rituximab, hyper-CVAD versus other regimens, disease status at transplantation, PET/Gallium scan at transplantation, conditioning regimen, stem cell source (PB vs BM); and (3) HSCT-CI. The following factors were applicable to nonmyeloablative stem cell transplantation patients only: sibling versus nonsibling donor, CMV status, sex mismatch, donor age, donor chimerism, acute GVHD, chronic GVHD, alemtuzumab exposure, and prior autologous transplantation.

NR indicates not reached; GVHD, graft-versus-host disease; PB, peripheral blood; BM, bone marrow; and HSCT-CI, Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation-Comorbidity Index.
