Univariable and multivariable logistic regression results are presented. Patients who died within 1 year post-transplant were removed from analyses. Due to lack of power, only five variables were included in the multivariable model to avoid over-fit. For this reason, hypertension and baseline eGFR were excluded from the model. Diabetes was included in the model as it is a recognized major risk factor for CKD. We also retained cGVHD in the model (although nonsignificant in univariate analysis), as cGVHD has been reported as a significant risk factor for kidney disease after transplantation in multiple recent studies [19–21]. Alternative multivariate model incorporating baseline eGFR and using only variables with the lowest P-value in univariate analysis is provided as Supplementary material.

OR = odds ratio; CKD = chronic kidney disease; AKI = acute kidney injury; MAC = myeloablative conditioning; RIC = reduced intensity regimen; GVHD = graft-versus-host disease; ATG-PTCy-CSA = anti-thymocyte globulin with post-transplant cyclophosphamide and cyclosporine; aGVHD = acute graft-versus-host disease; cGVHD = chronic graft-versus-host disease.
