In patients transplanted between 1983 and 1998 with marrow from HLA-matched related or HLA-matched unrelated donors.

GvHD, graft-versus-host disease, ALL, acute lymphoblastic leukemia; ANL, acute nonlymphocytic leukemia; CML, chronic myelogenous leukemia; HD, Hodgkin disease; NHL, non-Hodgkin disease; MDS, myelodysplastic syndrome; Cy/TBI, cytoxan/total body irradiation; TBI, total body irradiation.

*

Ten patients did not have an acute GvHD grade available at the time of analysis.

Ten patients were missing data pertaining to their preparative regimen.
