Plus–minus values are means ± SD. Percentages may not add to 100 because of rounding.

The combined match score for patients in the double-unit treatment group is the minimum HLA match between the first unit and the recipient or the second unit and the recipient. For example, if Unit A was a 6/6 match with the recipient and Unit B was a 4/6 match, the match score assigned for that recipient was 4/6.
