Patients who had the donor plasma YKL-40 concentration missing (n=205) were deemed ineligible for testing the donor plasma YKL-40 effect. In addition, 36 (or 11) patients were excluded in multivariate testing for recipient (or donor) plasma because of missing information on either the time-to-event endpoints or covariates that were adjusted in the models.
