P values are for the comparison between the test and training or the validation and training cohort.

s-AML indicates secondary AML after antecedent hematologic disorder; t-AML, therapy-related AML after previous chemotherapy or radiotherapy; CR, complete remission; BM, bone marrow; PB, peripheral blood.

*

Information on NPM1 status was missing for one patient in the validation cohort, who was FLT3 ITD negative.

FAB classification was unknown for 3 patients in the validation cohort.

Information on remission status was missing for 2 patients in the test cohort.
