Thymoglobulin (TG) given with conditioning for allogeneic haematopoietic SCT (alloHSCT) is effective in reducing the risk of acute and chronic GVHD (cGVHD). Whether conventional risk factors for GVHD apply to TG-conditioned alloHSCT is unknown. We retrospectively studied 356 adults from three centres who received TG 4.5 mg/kg prior to alloHSCT for...
