Primary diagnosis, stem cell donor, transplant regimens, chronic GVHD, and use of immunosuppressants were included in the model one at a time. Adjusted for sex, age at study participation (continuous), race/ethnicity (non-Hispanic white, others), marital status (married, not married), income (< $20 000/y, 20 000-60 000/y, > 60 000/y), education (did not complete high school/high-school graduate, some college or above), insurance status (yes, no) and health status (poor/fair, good/excellent), grade of chronic health conditions (none, grade 1 or 2, grade 3 or 4).

HCT indicates hematopoietic cell transplantation; OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval; HS, high school; CML, chronic myeloid leukemia; AML, acute myeloid leukemia; ALL, acute lymphoid leukemia; HL, Hodgkin lymphoma; NHL, non-Hodgkin lymphoma; SAA, severe aplastic anemia; MM, multiple myeloma; and cGVHD, chronic GVHD.
