Multivariate analysis of the biospecimen group can be found in Table S2.
Multivariate analysis of the observational group can be found in Table S3.
Analyzed as a time-varying predictor.
Fluoroquinolones consist of ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin.
Beta-lactams include cephalosporins, beta-lactam/beta-lactamase combinations, and carbapenems.
Prior antibiotics refer to antibiotics given prior to allo-HSCT and prior to observation time, within 14 days, and were not analyzed as time-varying predictors.
