— indicates reciprocal rate not shown for clarity.

*

Percent indicates incidence proportion, independent of person-time at risk contributed.

Cases/1000 patient-days of observation from HSCT date (day 0). Confidence intervals were calculated using the Haenszel method.

IRR indicates crude incidence rate ratio, when compared to complementary characteristic in the preceding row. Confidence intervals were calculated using the Byar method.
