Variables were analyzed using a univariate logistic regression model, age was analyzed as a continuous variable, and risk reported is for every year older at HCT. Bold P values denote characteristics significantly associated with MC-TA-TMA. For HCT indication, cell source, HLA match, conditioning, and aGVHD, odds ratios (OR) were compared to the reference group (OR = 1); the P value denotes characteristics significantly associated with MC-TA-TMA compared to the reference group.

CI, confidence interval; VOD, veno-occlusive disease.

*

Firth’s penalized maximum likelihood estimation was performed for active infection variables.

Allogeneic HCT only.

Bone marrow transplant and peripheral blood stem cell source only.

§

Multiple infections can occur simultaneously.
