BMT indicates bone marrow transplantation; CMV, cytomegalovirus; GVHD, graft-versus-host disease.

F3-150

All conditions present at death, except for specific infections, were extracted from previous publication.18 Specific infections present at death were determined with an additional data review. Percentage deaths are calculated relative to total cohort (see text for details).

F3-151

Percentage deaths are calculated relative to number of patients alive at day 110 (96 placebo, 122 fluconazole). Multiple causes of death are listed for 4 patients (see text).

F3-152

Included in this group are patients who died with all relapse-related complications.

F3-153

Included in this group are patients who died with veno-occlusive disease before day 110 (n = 4).

F3-155

Causes of death thought unrelated to BMT or unrelated disease during the follow-up period included traumatic cerebral hemorrhage (n = 2), gastrointestinal ulcer with bleed (n = 1), pulmonary embolism (n = 1), and ethanol-induced hepatic failure (n = 1).
