Protective risk factors include:
*High degree of HLA concordance between the host and donor
*Use of umbilical cord blood as the donor source (given decreased number of donor T cells)

Overview

Risk Factors

Risk factors for GvHD include:

  • High degree of HLA disparity between host and donor cells[1]
  • Use of unrelated donors as the stem cell source[1]
  • Total body irradiation as the conditioning regimen prior to transplant[1]

Protective risk factors include:

  • High degree of HLA concordance between the host and donor
  • Use of umbilical cord blood as the donor source (given decreased number of donor T cells)
