Factors analyzed for association with survival included demographic and disease factors (age at transplant, sex, lymphoid vs myeloid disease, karyotype and blast percentage in those with MDS and leukemia, disease status at transplant, previous HSCT, and previous chemotherapy for solid tumors), donor/graft factors (CD34 þ cell dose, graft source, related vs unrelated graft, degree of HLA match, CMV serostatus and ABO match), and post transplant factors (time to neutrophil, lymphocyte and platelet engraftment, day þ 100 chimerism status, development of and severity of acute GVHD, development of and severity of chronic GVHD). ./cache/cord-005448-5fznfp5p.txt ./txt/cord-005448-5fznfp5p.txt
