The cumulative incidence of posttransplant complications, including death, relapse, TRM, aGVHD, and cGVHD, were determined among patients with greater than or fewer than the median number of cDCs or pDCs in the blood at 3 months posttransplant. Causes of death were assigned by a central data adjudication committee. Unless otherwise indicated, data are % (95% confidence interval).

GI, gastrointestinal; IPN, interstitial pneumonia; TTP, thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura.
