Abbreviations: AUC, area under the curve; cGVHD, chronic graft-versus-host disease; OR, odds ratio.

*

OR per log increase in biomarker, estimated using logistic regression.

AUC calculated from logistic regression; includes clinical covariates in model where indicated

AUC with clinical covariates only: 0.74.
