*

Models adjusted for sex, race/ethnicity, age, transplantation year, donor type, cGVHD status, and history of posttransplantation relapse (within the first 2 years).

Models similarly adjusted as ≥2-year outcomes, except that history of posttransplantation relapse was expanded to events occurring within the first 5 years.

Five events or fewer. Estimates are unstable and models do not converge.
