Note: Complications post-HSCT and outcome: overall column with characteristics of all 90 patients; univariate analysis performed only for subset of recipients at risk of CMV infection, R(+) and R(x).

Abbreviations: aGVHD, acute graft-versus-host disease; cGVHD, chronic graft-versus-host disease; CI, cumulative incidence; CMV, cy tomegalovirus; GVHD, graft-versus-host disease; HSCT, hematopoietic stem cell transplant; IQR, interquar tile range.

This patient developed an atypical cGVHD at 48 days after the transplant, affecting skin, eyes, mouth, and vaginal mucosa.
