  1. Continuous variables were analyzed with Mann-Whitney U test while categorical variables with Fisher exact test. p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
  2. OR odds ratio, RRR relative risk reduction, IQR interquartile range, MAC myeloablative conditioning regimen, RIC reduced intensity conditioning regimen.
