Higher plasma bilirubin predicts veno-occlusive disease in early childhood undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation with cyclosporine

Table 3 Two by two analyses between maximal plasma bilirubin contents and veno-occlusive disease in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation patients

	G#1 (n = 25)		G#2 (n = 70)		G#3 (n = 28)
	BILmax (-)	BILmax (+)	BILmax (-)	BILmax (+)	BILmax (-)	BILmax (+)
VOD (+)	0	2	4	9	0	7
VOD (-)	5	18	28	29	17	4
P-value	1.00		0.356		0.0001

BILmax (+): 1.4 mg/dL or higher; BILmax (-): Lower than 1.4 mg/dL. Data were analyzed using Fisher’s test program. BILmax: A maximal total bilirubin level; VOD: Veno-occlusive disease.
