Aoudjhane et al, 2005104 ; Multicenter, EBMT AML, > 50 y, MSD only 722, RIC = 315, MAC = 407 Similar Similar Decreased acute GVHD, chronic GVHD, and TRM, but increased relapse with RIC 
Alyea et al, 200670 ; single center, Boston AML/MDS, 21-70 y, MRD and URD donors 136, (AML, 82) RIC = 39, MAC = 97 Similar Similar Decreased TRM, and increased relapse with RIC 
Scott et al, 2006102 ; single center, Seattle MDS/sAML with previous MDS, 40-72 y, MRD and URD 150, (AML, 55) NMA = 38, MAC = 112 Similar Similar No difference in relapse/TRM 
Shimoni et al, 200672 ; single center, Tel-Hashomer AML/MDS, 17-70 y, MRD and URD 112, (AML, 56) RIC = 67, MAC = 45 Similar Similar Similar outcomes for patients in remission at HCT, inferior outcomes of patients with active disease treated with RIC 
Flynn et al, 2007103 ; single center, Minnesota AML/MDS, 19-69 y, MRD and URD (included UCB grafts) 219, (AML, 160) RIC = 32, MAC = 187 Similar Similar Similar TRM, but increase in relapse with RIC 
Ringden et al, 2009101 ; EBMT multicenter AML, 16-76 y, URD transplants only 1555, RIC = 401, MAC = 1154 Similar Not reported Reduced NRM in ≥50 y, and increased relapse in patients <50 y with RIC. 
Lim et al, 2010106 ; EBMT, multicenter MDS/sAML with previous MDS, ≥ 50 y, MRD and URD 1333, (AML, 334), RIC = 833, MAC = 500 Not reported Similar Increased relapse, and decreased TRM with RIC 
Khabori et al, 201099 ; single center, Toronto AML/MDS, 40-60 y, MRD and URD transplants 101, (AML, 77), RIC = 39, MAC = 62 Similar Similar Poor outcome in patients with high-risk disease biology attributable to higher relapse rate 
Luger et al, CIBMTR105 , multicenter AML/MDS, 18-70 y, MRD and URD 5179, RIC/NMA = 1448, MAC = 3731 Similar between MAC vs RIC, inferior for NMA Similar between MAC vs RIC, More relapse with NMA Late TRM negated any advantage offered by RIC or NMA
