All variables in Table 1 were used for the univariate analysis. Only variables with p < 0.2 in any analysis, except for Ab-based treatment are shown in this table. The following parameters were not significantly associated; gender, age at RSV LRD, days between transplant and RSV LRD, diagnosis, disease risk at transplantation, %FEV1/FVC pre RSV LRD, %TLC pre RSV LRD, lymphocyte count, steroid use at diagnosis, GVHD prophylaxis, recipient CMV serostatus, and GVHD in lung at RSV LRD.

*

This includes two patients who received both palivizumab and high-does intravenous immunoglobulin.

Abbreviations; MA: myeloablative conditioning, TBI: total body irradiation, Ab: antibody, FEV1: forced expiratory volume in 1 second, FVC: forced vital capacity %TLC: percentage of predicted total lung capacity, GVHD: graft versus host disease, CMV: cytomegalovirus
