Figure 1 Cumulative incidence of NRM of HBcAb-positive patients and controls. Death because of primary disease is the competing event for NRM. Seropositivity for HBcAb was not associated with a statistically significant increase in the cumulative incidence of NRM or disease progression.

Figure 2 OS of HBcAb-positive patients and controls. Seropositive patients had comparable survival. Biology of Blood and Marrow Transplantation 2010 16, 686-694DOI: (10.1016/j.bbmt.2009.12.532) Copyright © 2010 American Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation Terms and Conditions
Figure 3 Cumulative incidence of acute GVHD in HBcAb-positive patients and matched controls. Death is the competing event. There was no significant difference in the incidence of acute GVHD in the 2 groups.
