Table 3 Multivariate analyses in patients for which data on total nucleated cell counts (TNC) and HLA compatibility were available (n = 363, including 87 male patients given female UCB) (significant factors are in italic)

From: Unrelated cord blood transplantation for adult patients with acute myeloid leukemia: higher incidence of acute graft-versus-host disease and lower survival in male patients transplanted with female unrelated cord blood—a report from Eurocord, the Acute Leukemia Working Party, and the Cord Blood Committee of the Cellular Therapy and Immunobiology Working Party of the European Group for Blood and Marrow Transplantation
