Data are presented as no. (%) unless otherwise indicated. CMV, cytomegalovirus; IQR, interquartile range; TBI, total body irradiation.
Pearson χ2 test of independence or Mann-Whitney U test for categorical or continuous parameters, respectively, to test whether the distributions differ between patients with a strong inhibiting KIR3DL1 donor and patients with a weak/noninhibiting KIR3DL1 donor.
Patients were classified according to the algorithms published by Boudreau et al19 in 2017. Numbers of patients grouped according to their donors’ KIR3DL1/HLA-B subtype combination do not add up to the total number because 18 patients could not be classified according to the algorithm.
