as an alternative for stem-cell risk of the conditioning regimen; the type of prophylaxis against GVHD; the use or nonuse of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, gran-ulocyte–macrophage colony-stimulating factor, or both to hasten the recovery of neutrophils; and the dose of nucleated cells infused. Only factors significantly associated with an outcome (P<0.05) were retained in the final models. The absence of a factor from the final models indicates that there was no significant association with the risk of the outcome described. and covariate, the assumption of proportional hazards was tested with use of time-dependent covariates. When the test indicated differential effects over (nonproportional hazards), we constructed models in which the interval after transplantation was divided into two periods, and we used the maxi- mized partial-likelihood method to find the most appropriate break-point. 20 For these variables, we determined the relative risks for each of the periods. A forward stepwise method of selecting variables at a significance level of less than 0.05 was used to identify covariates other than the type of graft that were associated with outcome. In each step, the covariate for the type of graft was in- cluded in the model. First-order interactions between the type of graft and significant covariates were considered. We tested the over- all effects of covariates using Wald’s test. To determine the effects of the transplantation center, we tested a random-effects model 21 ; there was no evidence that center-related effects confounded our previous findings. All P values are two-sided.
