Multivariable cox model analysis adjusting for UCBT, time-dependent acute GVHD grades II–IV, and mismatched donor.
To accurately calculate values for mismatched and unrelated donors, a dummy variable was made to separate the analysis into 3 groups (adult-donor HSCT mismatched or unrelated versus UCBT versus matched or unrelated HSCT) to avoid counting UCBT patients twice, given that all UCBT were mismatched-unrelated donors in this cohort.
Acute GVHD was modeled as a time-varying covariate.
