In this model, patients who died within 1 year post-transplant were excluded from the analyses. Impact of CKD at 1 year and other variables of interest on long-term (>1 year) survival and transplant outcomes were analyzed using Cox proportional hazard models (OS, RFS and GRFS) and Fine and Gray's completing risk model (TRM and relapse). The date 1 year post-allogeneic HSCT served as the index date in this model.

*There were only 21 events for TRM, thus limiting the amount of variables it was possible to include in the analyses.

CKD = chronic kidney disease; RFS = relapse-free survival; GRFS = graft-versus-host disease-free/relapse-free survival; TRM = transplant-related mortality; HR = hazard ratio; MAC = myeloablative conditioning; RIC = reduced intensity conditioning regimen; GVHD = graft-versus-host-disease; cGVHD = chronic graft-versus-host disease; ATG-PTCy-CSA = anti-thymocyte globulin with post-transplant cyclophosphamide and cyclosporine.
