MLL-PTD+ indicates patients with partial tandem duplication of the MLL gene; MLL-WT, patients with wild-type MLL alleles; MVA, multivariable analysis; pts, patients; CR, complete remission; OS, overall survival; CRD, CR duration; DFS, disease-free survival; EFS, event-free survival; —, no significant difference in univariable analysis (MVA not performed); ND, not done; and NR, not reported.
