Abbreviations: Eval, number of patients for which data are available; n, number of patients for which that variable pertains.

F0-150

Grouped together as “leukemia.”

F0-151

Grouped together as “lymphoma” for univariate and multivariate analysis.

F0-152

Not used in univariate and multivariate analysis because of small number of subjects.
