Figure 1 Outcome after allogeneic PBSCT. A, All patients (n = 172), B, Patients grouped according to the WHO classification. Patients with del(5q) and MDS-U are not shown because of small numbers, The differences between patients with RCMD/RS and RAEB-2 (P = .01) or MDS/AML (P = .04) were statistically significant.

Figure 5 Pretransplantation ferritin level and transplant comorbidity index (HCT-CI) (P = .01). A statistically significant (P = .01) association was found between pretransplantation ferritin level and the HCT-CI.
