Does anyone have a percentage on the amount of deaths caused by the protocal drug therapy?

Or of the amount of severe organ damage?

I'm talking about the ATG/Pred/Cort not the prep for a BMT.

I was told 5% mortality rate by a Doctor and I wonder if anyone was given different information.

The success rate of the drug is quoted from 50% at Seattle to 85% NIH. My point is that the percentage doesn't matter unless your child is in the right column.

Thanks.
