  1. FluMel fludarabine/melphalan, BuCy busulfan/cyclophosphamide, FluTreo fludarabine/treosulfan.
  2. p values for comparisons of relapse incidence and non-relapse mortality were calculated using Gray’s test, p values for comparisons of overall survival were calculated using the log-rank test, all p values in parentheses were calculated using the log-rank test stratified on each matched pair.
