RR indicates relative risk; PTLD, posttransplantation lymphoproliferative disorder; CI, confidence interval; HLA-2Ag+/unrelated, 2+ HLA antigen–mismatched sibling/relative, or unrelated donor; ATG, antithymocyte globulin; and GVHD, graft-versus-host disease.

*

Latency is defined as time since first transplantation. Models are stratified by latency in 13 categories.

Broad lymphocyte depletion methods are alemtuzumab monoclonal antibody or elutriation/density gradient centrifugation; selective T-cell depletion methods include anti-T or anti-T+NK monoclonal antibodies, SRBC rosetting, or lectins with/without SRBC or anti-T monoclonal antibodies.

All PTLDs in this group were from HLA unrelated donors.
