The association between TNFR ratio and GvHD risk
To investigate the association between TNFR ratio in the first days
after transplantation, which is the most frequent inflammatory phase
induced by chemotherapy, according to previous studies [144] the
ratio of 2.5 was used as a baseline to differentiate between the patient
groups. As a biomarker for predicting GvHD, it was shown that at day 14
after transplantation, patients with a TNFR ratio greater than 2.5 were
at a higher risk for GvHD occurrence up to 180 days after
transplantation. (P-Value = 0.01)(Figure7 and Table.10).
