NS indicates not significant.

*

P values are given for age as a continuous variable, PS as a 2-class variable (0–1, ≥2), WBC as a continuous variable, AML type (de novo vs post-MDS), and karyotype as a 2-class variable (standard-risk, high-risk).

HRs are given for the high-risk as compared with the standard-risk karyotype subset, for patients with a PS ≥ 2 as compared with those with PS of 0-1, for 10-G/L WBC increment, and for 5-year age increment.
