## Data from the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT)

### Description

A data frame of 2279 patients transplanted at the EBMT between 1985 and 1998. These data were used in Fiocco, Putter & van Houwelingen (2008), van Houwelingen & Putter (2008, 2012) and de Wreede, Fiocco & Putter (2011). The included variables are

id

  Patient identification number

rec

  Time in days from transplantation to recovery or last follow-up

rec.s

  Recovery status; 1 = recovery, 0 = censored

ae

  Time in days from transplantation to adverse event (AE) or last follow-up

ae.s

  Adverse event status; 1 = adverse event, 0 = censored

recae

  Time in days from transplantation to both recovery and AE or last follow-up

recae.s

  Recovery and AE status; 1 = both recovery and AE, 0 = no recovery or no AE or censored

rel

  Time in days from transplantation to relapse or last follow-up

rel.s

  Relapse status; 1 = relapse, 0 = censored

srv

  Time in days from transplantation to death or last follow-up

srv.s

  Relapse status; 1 = dead, 0 = censored

year

  Year of transplantation; factor with levels "1985-1989", "1990-1994", "1995-1998"

agecl

  Patient age at transplant; factor with levels "<=20", "20-40", ">40"

proph

  Prophylaxis; factor with levels "no", "yes"

match

  Donor-recipient gender match; factor with levels "no gender mismatch", "gender mismatch"

### Format
