CI indicates confidence interval; NHL, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma; CR, complete remission; PR, partial remission.

The above models are the result of multiple regression analysis after testing the following variables: age, weight, gender, donor type, CMV serostatus, acute GVHD (time-dependent variable), year of transplant (1997-2000 versus 2001-2004), diagnosis, and disease status. Conditioning intensity, as the main effect variable, is presented in every model. Otherwise, only factors with at least marginal significance are reported.
