IQR, interquartile range.

*

Difference is 3 percentage points, 95% CI (−6 to 11), P = .012 for noninferiority. After correcting for stratification factors (center, diagnosis AML/non-AML, and treatment phase conventional/stem cell), the difference is 1 percentage point, 95% CI (−6 to 9), P = .002 for noninferiority.

P = .535 for superiority of mean percentages.

Difference is 8 percentage points, 95% CI (−2 to 18), P = .19 for noninferiority. After correcting for stratification factors (center, diagnosis AML/non-AML, and treatment phase conventional/stem cell), the difference is 10 percentage points, 95% CI (1-19), P = .29 for noninferiority.
