  1. One patient could have multiple GvHD prophylaxis and treatment, multiple organs with GvHD and multiple grades of severity. CMV prophylaxis: one patient (patient Ge24) received letermovir during the period of intensive steroid treatment or second-line GvHD therapy. GvHD grade refers to acute GvHD, GvHD severity refers to chronic GvHD. In two patients, there was no information on grade/severity. Only organs with grade GvHD ≥ 2 or severity ≥ moderate are reported
  2. Abbreviations: IQR interquartile range, allo-HSCT allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, MDS/MDPS myelodysplasic syndrome/myelodysplasic proliferative syndrome, ATG anti-thymocyte globulin
  3. aOther includes: multiple myeloma (n = 2), chronic myeloid leukemia (n = 1) and mixed acute leukemia (n = 1)
  4. bOther includes: azithromycine, montelukast, prolastin, vedolisumab, nilotinib, basilixumab, ibrutinib, and/or methotrexate
