Factors affecting occurrence of severe CRS were determined by univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analysis with Forward Stepwise (Conditional) method. P value <0.05 was considered significant.

CRS cytokine release syndrome, CR complete remission, MRD minimal residual disease, CNSL central nervous system leukemia, WBC white blood cell, Flu fludarabine, Cy cyclophosphamide, CAR-T chimeric antigen receptor T cells, OR odds ratio, CI confidence interval.
