Acute GVHD onset day ≤100 post-transplant and not post-relapse, max grade shown.

Among deaths from infection, one UW patient died from Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia, one NW patient from human herpes virus 6 meningoencephalitis, one NW, two OW and one OB patients from culture-negative sepsis, one OW patient from pneumonia of unknown etiology, and one OB patient from a bacterial infection at another hospital.

One UW patient died from esophageal cancer; three NW patients died from lung cancer.
