Clinical outcomes of the study participants1
| Standard | Experimental | |
| Mortality [n (%)] | 2 (15) | 1 (8) |
| Engraftment time (d) | 24 ± 52 | 24 ± 6 |
| Patients with confirmed infections during follow-up period [n (%)] | 6 (46) | 4 (31) |
| No. of infections | 0.6 ± 0.9 | 1.1 ± 2.3 |
| Patients with GVHD during follow-up period [n (%)] | 4 (31) | 1 (8) |
| Patients with veno-occlusive disease [n (%)] | 1 (8) | 1 (8) |
| Length of hospital stay (d) | 42 ± 12 | 39 ± 10 |
Mean values of each continuous variable were compared between trial arms by Student's t test, corroborated by Wilcoxon's 2-sample test in cases of skewed distribution. The distribution of each binary variable was compared by Fisher's exact test. All differences were nonsignificant, P > 0.30. GVHD, graft-versus-host disease.
Mean ± SD (all such values).
