Other pairwise comparisons for cGVHD: SR vs SD; HR, 0.84 (95% CI, 0.54-1.31; P = .44); SS vs SD; HR, 0.61 (95% CI, 0.38-0.98; P = .04).

Age was modeled as a continuous variable using a 3-knot restricted cubic spline to model nonlinear effects. Risk of cGVHD increased proportionally with age for ages <∼50 years but was similar for ages >50 years. The reference ages of 50 and 10 years were chosen to show the total magnitude of this effect.15
