According to standard operating procedures, a 90 days’ time span is allowed for data capture and entry. CRFs of patients who died or who lost their graft within a follow-up period were removed for this analysis. 176 CRFs were removed from the analysis since the follow-up period was not yet completed

* Completed: >80% of all mandatory data captured

** Partially completed: at least one content entry captured
