ASCT, autologous stem cell transplantation; BMI, body mass index; GFR, glomerular filtration rate; HCT-CI, hematopoietic cell transplantation comorbidity index; NA, not available. High-risk cytogenetics was defined as hypodiploidy or deletion of chr13 on conventional cytogenetics or presence of t(4;14), t(14;16), and -17p on fluorescent in situ hybridization and/or conventional cytogenetics. All other cytogenetic abnormalities were considered standard risk. Modification of diet in renal disease (MDRD) GFR was used.
