Authors ’ Response to the Letter-to-the-Editor by Brown ART and Gutierrez C.

The authors thank Ms. Brown and Dr. Gutierrez for their comments regarding our recent publication of the ASBMT CRS and ICANS consensus grading [1] (The Consensus Grading) and we agree with them that there are significant clinical differences between patients requiring low- versus high-dose of one vasopressor. This was an active area of discussion amongst the larger group. However, we expressly stated that The Consensus Grading is not a treatment guideline and no inference in such regard should be made.
