Weighted samples were characterized using stabilized inverse probability of treatment weighing with propensity scores. Propensity scores were obtained from a logistic regression model including sex, disease, age, HCT graft source, conditioning intensity, Karnofsky/Lansky performance score, and CNI type as covariates.

Adapted from Kean et al.24,25 

ALL, acute lymphocytic leukemia; AML, acute myeloid leukemia; CML, chronic myeloid leukemia; HCT-CI, HCT-specific comorbidity index; HL, Hodgkin lymphoma; MDS, myelodysplastic syndrome; MPN, myeloproliferative neoplasm; NHL, non-Hodgkin lymphoma; SD, standard deviation.

The abatacept + CNI/MTX group included 70 patients from the ABA2 clinical trial, and 1 patient treated outside of the trial.

MDS/MPN unclassifiable patient: n = 1 in abatacept group, n = 0 in non-abatacept group.

Two patients treated with abatacept in the ABA2 trial had reported performance scores of 80%; however, the performance score reported in the CIBMTR database for these patients was 70%. Because of the small number of patients treated with abatacept, these patients were included with performance score based on that reported from the ABA2 trial.

§

Chemotherapy-sensitive/chemotherapy-resistant distinction is specific to patients with lymphoma.

Duration of follow-up was defined as the date of transplant to the date of death or last follow-up. Median was estimated using the reverse Kaplan-Meier method; minimum and maximum values are summarized among patients who were alive at the end of follow-up.
