Abbreviations: ANC= Absolute neutrophil count; CNS=Central nervous system; MDS = myelodysplastic syndrome; AML = acute myeloid leukemia; NRM = non-relapse mortality

Neutrophil engraftment was defined by ANC > 500 on two consecutive days

Platelet engraftment was defined by platelets > 20,000 / ul on two consecutive days unsupported by transfusions
