The impact of the 95 CEs in outcomes has been investigated in the entire cohort of patients included in the study. CE variable has been treated as a time-dependent variable. CEs occurring after disease relapse have not been accounted. Variables included in the multivariate model were selected based on results from supplemental Section 3 and if considered clinically relevant for the transplant success. The variable HCT-CI has been included instead of the variables prior cardiac toxicity, obesity, or diabetes mellitus.

HCT-CI, HCT–comorbidity index; RIC, reduced intensity conditioning.
