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)
