Abbreviations: PFS, progression-free survival; OS, overall survival.

*

Hazard ratios > 1 indicate a factor with poor prognosis, whereas those < 1 indicate a factor with favorable prognosis.

Treatment: rituximab-based therapy as a part of first-line post-transplantation lymphoproliferative disease therapy v not as part of first-line therapy.
