Prognostic value of the pretransplant fibrosis-4 (FIB-4) index on nonrelapse and overall mortality following unrelated single-unit cord blood transplantation in adults

The fibrosis-4 (FIB-4) index is a noninvasive marker of liver fibrosis. The FIB-4 index predicts poor outcomes in patients with hepatic and non-hepatic diseases. However, the association of the FIB-4 index with mortality and liver-related clinical outcomes following cord blood transplantation (CBT) is unclear.
