The 15 transplants that did not develop any hepatic dysfunction are not recorded in this table.
a A comparison of means between the groups found a significant difference between the 'other' group and the hepatic GVHD or the VOD group (P<0.05).
b A significant difference was found between the hepatic GVHD group and VOD group (P<0.05).
