ATG antithymocyte globulin, CI confidence interval, HR hazard ratio, ScGVHD severe chronic graft-versus-host disease.

aHR and P value from cause-specific Cox models for competing risk. Death without scGVHD was taken as the competing event for scGVHD. NRM and relapse were treated as competing events.

bMyeloid: acute myeloid leukemia and myelodysplastic and myeloproliferative syndromes.

cLymphoid: acute lymphoblastic leukemia, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, T/B cell lymphoma, and multiple myeloma.
