Table 3.
Impact of the aGVHD grade on the number of CD56high natural killer (NK) cells.
| CD56high | Beta (SE) | p-Value |
|---|---|---|
| aGVHD grade 1 | 0.007 (0.11) | 0.94 |
| aGVHD grade II | −0.28 (0.10) | 0.008 |
| aGVHD grade III | −0.48 (0.12) | <0.001 |
| aGVHD grade IV | −0.43 (0.16) | 0.009 |
The table shows the beta coefficients and corresponding p-values for each aGVHD grade with respect to the reference category without aGVHD from a mixed effect regression with a linear spline model. Patients with aGVHD grade III or IV showed a significantly lower frequency of CD56high NK cells compared to patients with aGVHD grade I or II.
aGVHD, acute graft-versus-host disease; Beta, beta coefficient.
