Overall survival in relation to patient and donor cytomegalovirus serology. (A) Kaplan-Meier estimates of overall survial (OS) in seropositive recipient (R+) patients undergoing matched unrelated hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) from a seronegative (D- in red) versus seropositive (D+ in black) donors. (B) Kaplan-Meier estimates of OS in seronegative recipient (R-) patients undergoing matched unrelated HSCT from a seronegative (D+ in red) versus seropositive (D- in black) donors. Shown are adjusted hazard ratios (HR) with 95 % confidence intervals in round brackets.
