Abbreviations: aHCT, autologous hematopoietic progenitor cell transplant; CA, cytogenetic abnormalities; CI, confidence interval; CRP, C-reactive protein; Epo, erythropoietin; G-CSF, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor; GM-CSF, granulocyte-monocyte colony-stimulating factor; HPC, hemato-poietic progenitor cell; MDS, myelodysplastic syndrome; MM, multiple myeloma; NS, not significant; OR, odds ratio; WBC, white blood cell.

a

The OR of a dichotomous variable for a given event represents the ratio of odds of a certain event happening when comparing the two possible outcomes. For continuous variables, the OR represents the same value for an increase of one unit of that variable. An OR > 1 represents a positive correlation of the variable with the effect of interest (higher odds for the event of interest) while an OR<1 represents an adverse one (lower odds for the event of interest).

b

Within 1-month before mobilization.
