Table 6. Effect of ganciclovir treatment on the CMV-DNA copy number.

	Survivor (n = 15)	Non-survivor (n = 12)	p-value
CMV-DNA copy number before ganciclovir treatment	39,750.0 (13,300.0–88,875.0)	186,500.0 (8375.0–551,500.0)	0.525
CMV-DNA copy number after ganciclovir treatment	0.0 (0.0–0.0)*	832.5 (0.0–5652.5)**	0.013
Ganciclovir treatment duration (days)	20.0 (10.3–21.5)	13.5 (12.5–16.0)	0.180
Negative conversion rate (%)	14 (93.3)	6 (50.0)	0.023

*p = 0.001, CMV-DNA copy number before and after ganciclovir treatment in survivors.

**p = 0.005, CMV-DNA copy number before and after ganciclovir treatment in non-survivors.
