Multivariate analysis comparing acute GVH disease for 10/10 matches with the 9/10 match groups with triplet mismatches in the GVH direction.

Match Group N Relative risk (95% Confidence Interval) P - value

Grade II–IV GVH disease
10/10 matches 1687 1.00 0.008
0 Triplet mismatches 241 1.04 (0.85 – 1.26) 0.72
1 Triplet mismatches 140 1.16 (0.92 – 1.46) 0.22
2–3 Triplet mismatches 142 1.46 (1.16 – 1.84) 0.001
4–5 Triplet mismatches 102 1.36 (1.03 – 1.79) 0.031
≥ 6 Triplet mismatches 117 1.17 (0.91 – 1.50) 0.23
All triplet groups 0.16
Grade III–IV GVH disease
10/10 matches 1687 1.00 < 0.0001
0 Triplet mismatches 241 1.23 (0.97–1.57) 0.10
1 Triplet mismatches 140 1.46 (1.09–1.95) 0.01
2–3 Triplet mismatches 142 1.93 (1.47–2.54) 0.0001
4–5 Triplet mismatches 102 1.60 (1.14–2.250 0.007
≥ 6 Triplet mismatches 117 1.39 (1.00–1.92) 0.048
All triplet groups 0.13

Adjusted factors: disease, GVH disease prophylaxis, graft type, Karnofsky score, year of transplant, recipient gender.
