Cox regression model of grades III–IV acute GVHD, stratifying on DRB1 match status
| Factor | RR | 95% CI | P value* |
|---|---|---|---|
| DQB1 mismatch† | 1.6 | 1.1, 2.3 | 0.02 |
| Parous female donor and male patient | 1.7 | 1.1, 2.4 | <0.01 |
| Dose of TBI >1200 cGy | 1.3 | 0.91, 1.7 | 0.17 |
Eight strata were modeled based on patient age (≥36 versus <36 years), transplant year (1991–1992 versus all other), and DRB1 match/mismatch status. CI, confidence interval.
P values correspond to the test of the null hypothesis that the RR = 1.0.
Likelihood ratio test P value for the contribution of DQB1 mismatch on this model is 0.03.
