ALL indicates acute lymphoblastic leukemia; AML, acute myelogenous leukemia, CML, chronic myelogenous leukemia; MDS, myelodysplastic syndrome; and NHL, non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

High risk refers to acute leukemia in CR1 and CR2, CML in first chronic phase, and MDS without excess blasts or nonmalignant diseases. Standard risk refers to all others.

*

HLA match equals the poorest matched unit in recipients of two UCB units.

HLA match (engrafting unit) equals the HLA match of units that engrafted long term.
