Driving distances from HCT centers (in miles) were operationalized as a continuous variable. Model statistics suggested good fits (elevated distress: LR chi-square 149.3, p < 0.000; impaired physical function, LR chi-square 159.0, p < 0.000).

Statistically significant (p < 0.05).

Current cGVHD scores, which were only asked of allogeneic HCT recipients, were coded as ‘None’ for autologous HCT recipients for regression models to avoid being marked as missing.
