Sex, age at alloHCT, race and/or ethnicity, primary diagnosis, relapse risk, and year of alloHCT were included in the model regardless of statistical significance. ALL = acute lymphocytic leukemia; alloHCT = allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation; AML = acute myeloid leukemia; CI = confidence interval; CLL = chronic lymphocytic leukemia; CML = chronic myeloid leukemia; GvHD = graft-versus-host disease; HL = Hodgkin lymphoma; HR = hazard ratio; MDS = myelodysplastic syndromes; MM = multiple myeloma; NHL = non-Hodgkin lymphoma; NDR = nondisease-related; SAA = severe aplastic anemia.

P value for test of homogeneity of categorical variables.
