FIG. 1. Kaplan–Meier estimates of fungal-free (proven/probable/presumptive) survival (a) and overall survival (b) up to 12 months in a large, randomized, controlled trial comparing voriconazole and fluconazole for primary prophylaxis of invasive fungal infections in allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients [34].

FIG. 2. Prophylactic success (composite endpoint combining fungal-free survival and sufficient duration of prophylaxis; adjusted for conditioning regimen and donor relatedness) at day 100 and day 180 in a large, randomized, controlled trial comparing voriconazole and itraconazole for primary prophylaxis of invasive fungal infections in allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients [32]. Voriconazole was superior (p <0.01) to itraconazole at both time points.
