The Korea University bone marrow transplantation registry is a longitudinal cohort containing data of patients who underwent SCT at the Korea University Medical Center (Korea University Anam, Guro, and Ansan Hospitals) from January 2007 to December 2018. According to this registry, 201 patients underwent auto-SCT: 107 with multiple myeloma; 50 with B-cell lymphoma; 35 with T-cell lymphoma; 8 with Hodgkin lymphoma, and 1 with amyloid light-chain (AL) amyloidosis. Patients with AL amyloidosis were excluded because critical medical data were missing. Of the 200 patients, 50 were not tested for CMV reactivation. Thus, we retrospectively analyzed data from 150 patients with multiple myeloma (n = 80), B-cell lymphoma (n = 39), T-cell lymphoma (n = 26), and Hodgkin lymphoma (n = 5). All methods were performed in accordance with relevant guidelines and regulations. This study was approved by the Institutional Review Board of the Korea University Medical Center, with a waiver of informed consent for the collection and analysis of retrospective data.
