3.4 | Patterns of post-transplant mortality
There were 7 instances of transplant-related mortality (TRM) within 100
days post-transplant. Four of these were caused by multi-organ failure.
The other three were caused by bradycardia, pulmonary hemorrhage, and
progressive refractory leukemia. Although there was an overall increase
in TRM in the RVI+ group (p=0.0047), no singular cause of mortality was
found to have a strong statistical association with RV+ PCR results.
(Table 4)
Mortality rates appeared similar until about day 50, but after that, the
RVI+ group consistently had increased numbers of mortality through the
100-day post-transplant period. (Fig. 3)
