For continuous variables, p‐values (for treatment difference) are based on an ANOVA model including treatment and 4‐category primary disease therapy (chemotherapy, HCT‐myeloablative, HCT‐non‐myeloablative, and HCT‐RIC) as fixed effects. A point estimate and the corresponding two‐sided 95% CI for the treatment difference in least squares means are also provided. For categorical variables, the p‐values are based on a stratified CMH General Association PRPC controlling for primary disease therapy. A p‐value <.050 is flagged with an asterisk (*).

Days of platelet support period = (date of last study or non‐study platelet transfusion, up to Day 21 or platelet independence, whichever occurred sooner)−(date of first study transfusion) + 1, where platelet independence is defined as more than 5 days elapsed from the previous study or non‐study platelet transfusion.
