Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
incidence of grade II-IV acute graft versus host diseaseday 100 post transplantation

Overall grade I graft-versus-host disease denoted stage 1 to 2 skin involvement with no liver or gut involvement. Overall grade II graft-versus-host disease denoted stage 3 skin involvement or stage 1 liver or gut involvement. Overall grade III graft-versus-host disease denoted stage 4 skin involvement or stage 2 to 4 liver or gut involvement without graft-versus-host disease as a major contributing cause of death. And Overall grade IV graft-versus-host disease denoted stage 4 skin involvement or stage 2 to 4 liver or gut involvement with graft-versus-host disease as a major contributing cause of death.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
incidence of infectionday 100 post transplantation

Fever would be categorized as fever occured before engraftment and after engraftment. If microbiologically documented, pathogen would be specified.

incidence of adverse drug reactionsday 100 post transplantation

adverse drug reactions would be measured by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v3. And for determinating the likelihood of whether an adverse drug reaction is actually due to the drug, Naranjo algorithm would be used
