HCT indicates hematopoietic cell transplantation; HS, high school; NA, not applicable; and cGVHD, chronic GVHD.

*

Two subjects with unknown race; 6 subjects with unknown education; 90 subjects with unknown household income; 18 subjects with unknown insurance status; and 3 patients with unknown risk of relapse status at HCT.

Key chronic health conditions within each category shown here. Some participants reported > 1 condition, and therefore the total number within each category does not total the sum of conditions show here. Percentages are based on the total number of participants who provided data for each variable, rather than on the total number of subjects in the cohort; percentages may not total 100 because of rounding.

Median (range), not no. (%).
