Although allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) is a curative treatment for aggressive-type adult T-cell leukemialymphoma (ATL)[1, 2], it has been reported that cord blood transplantation (CBT) for ATL is associated with significantly worse prognosis compared with other donor sources [3-5]. CBT for ATL has been routinely implemented in Japan as ATL requires rapid HCT and the efficacy of CBT has recently improved [6]. Therefore, we retrospectively re-evaluated CBT for ATL from a nationwide Japanese database, the Japan Society for Transplantation and Cellular Therapy (JSTCT) using the Transplant Registry Unified Management Program [7]. We collected data from the largest cohort on patients with ATL who received first allo-HCT between 2008 and 2017. The study was approved by the JSTCT data management committees and Imamura General Hospital Institutional Review Board. All CBT recipients received a single unit. Overall survival (OS) was calculated from the time of HCT until death or the last follow-up. The cause of death was categorized as either ATL-related mortality (ATL-RM) or transplantation-related mortality (TRM). TRM was defined as any death other than ATL-RM. Patients who remained alive at the time of the last follow-up were censored. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize the variables related to the patients and HCT characteristics. A propensity score-matched (PSM) analysis was performed to minimize treatment selection bias and eliminate confounding bias between the patients who received CBT (CBT group) and the patients who received HCT from other donor sources (non-CBT group). Logistic regression was used for the propensity score calculation from the following variables that were relevant to earlier research findings: age, sex, clinical subtype, performance status (PS), hematopoietic cell transplantation-specific comorbidity index (HCT-CI), disease status, the interval from initial diagnosis to HCT, ABO matching, sex combination between recipient and donor, conditioning regimen, and GVHD prophylaxis. A 1: 1 matched study group was created with the use of the nearest approach. All statistical analyses were performed using EZR Version 1.52 software (Saitama Medical Center, Jichi Medical University, Saitama, Japan), a graphical user interface for R 4.0. 0 (R Foundation for Statistical Computing)[8].From 2008-2017, 446 patients with ATL received CBT in Japan, and we compared the characteristics and HCT outcomes of patients between 2008-2012 and 2013-2017 (Supplementary Table 1). The median age at HCT in 2013-2017 was 3 years older than in 2008-2012 (61 vs 58 years, range: 31-78 vs 24-72,
