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.
