Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Number of Participants With Severe (Grade 3 and 4) Acute Graft Versus Host Disease (GVHD)
Time Frame: From transplant (Day 0) until Day 100
GVHD was graded using the modified Keystone Criteria weekly during the first 2 months after stem cell infusion, then every other week until Day 100. Severity was determined clinically (based on physical exam and laboratory serum values) and from biopsies of affected organs whenever possible. The degree of GVHD in individual organs was scored by at least 2 assessors. Grade 3 GVHD = total bilirubin 3.1 - 15.0 mg/dL or ≥ 1000 mL/day diarrhea or severe abdominal pain with/without ileus. Grade 4 GVHD = skin involvement with bullous formation or total bilirubin \> 15.0 mg/dL.
