adj. HR: adjusted hazard ratio; CI: confidence interval; NM-HCT: nonmyeloablative allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation; CMV: cytomegalovirus. HSV1: herpes simplex virus type1; GVHD: graft-versus-host disease. The factors which were statistically significant in either multivariate model of CMV infection or high-grade CMV infection, and NM-HCT are displayed.
