In this analysis, we found that the presence of specific symptoms and the number of transplant specialists consulted were associated with all types of severe disability; female sex was predictive of severe physical disability and nonwhite race of work disability. These findings add to the understanding of chronic GVHD-associated disability, suggest a need for improved social support for patients, and highlight potential indicators for those most in need.
