Survival and event-free survival after bone marrow transplantation for sickle cell disease.4 The Kaplan-Meier probabilities of survival and event-free survival among 59 patients who received HLA-identical sibling bone marrow allografts are shown. In addition, the cumulative incidence of graft rejection and recurrent sickle cell disease is shown. An event was defined as death, graft rejection, or return of sickle cell disease.
